Well I have three houses. Two In Georgia and one in Louisiana. When Katrina hit, I let a few families stay in my 8 bedroom vacation home for about 8 months until they were able to get back on their feet. They were very nice people and I would gladly do it again if such a situation were to arise.
1. Does he/she have family to move in with? If not, then, yes, I have even let friends with kids, and pets move in with me. I know what it is like to have hard times. Most of my friends are not "dead" beat types, and if they genuinely are having a difficult time, I would gladly help them out.
Only after signing a lengthy contract and a list of do's and don't's in front of a notary lawyer, then he can move in. I'd do this for "friendship's sake".
Too many unknowns about your particular situation. Off the top of my head I'd say yes, I will ALWAYS help out a friend and having roommates is a great way to live sometimes. But if your friend is a flake, or a leech, or a troublemaker then no. But then I'd wonder why you are friends in the first place.
I'd do it only for a really good friend. This situation is kind of hypothetical for me as I have only one such friend in this country and she's not local.
I need to find out who I can lay up with if I ever lose my job.
Yeah, having a roof over your head is kinda important... I felt better when I had a paid off roof somewhere in the world, but I sold it...
