Reality check?
Nice idea, now when they need their friends and family again they are all 1200 miles away.
Unless of course you abandon your kids to someone elses care long term.
And?
BTW AVG, you miss the biggest problem with this situation in todays world.
credit history. Before I rent I want a bloody good credit history from them, I ain't gonna take someone who has just been forclosed for not paying their debt or as in some examples mentioned evicted for not paying rent and dragging out the eviction process.
@Tater
What has that got to do with the price of cheese?
Oh yeah....."So I'm not talking about people who have their situation change"
So given the actual topic..... Are you aware of what percentage of marriages in the US end in divorce?

Abandon kids? Who said anything about abandoning kids? Call it what you like, a family or friend watching your kids is not abandoning them. Long term. Is say 10 days long term? Let's not embellish. I put up my brother-in-law and sister-in-law plus their German shepard for 5 weeks while they settled on a house. This is what families do. I would look after their kids as well if there was a job interview. If you think a family member would not help out then I do not know what to say about your family and experience with them. My family would help in heartbeat. Furthermore, does this individual not recieve unemployment benefits to help with say a place to stay until his first paycheck is received?
You are preaching to the choir on credit situation. I have been their and done that. I dug out of the hole. Losing a job with wife, kids and house to look after. Been there and done that not once but twice. Furthermore, the folks getting foreclosed on...the credit check for a rental...check it man...I have friends that have the worst credit report anyone has seen finding places to rent. I have family members who just got a rental house (second rental) and these clowns were foreclosed on 2 years ago. Their eviction process was over 2 years on the mortgage they let go!!! Not one red cent was paid to the mortgage in 2 years! So the credit check issue is a bump in the road. Nothing more. Rental properties can be had, good, bad or no credit. I was born at night but is was not last night. I did not miss anything concerning credit.
