Another option... Find someone to take in your pets....even temporarily....so that you can rent somewhere in your price range that doesn't allow pets. I know it sounds harsh, but that way at least you'd have a roof over your heads. If it comes down to keeping the pets and being homeless or giving them up (even temporarily) to avoid being homeless, it would seem the latter is the preferred option.
We cannot take on another falling apart place. We have severe allergies and my husband has a health condition we have to be careful of too. Not to mention my baby's health. If it is falling apart or doesn't look like its been taken care of ... I'm not going to pay money to rent. Call that picky or whatever you want.
I posted this in hopes that someone somewhere in the area would have a rental they would be able to/willing to rent out. Not to be given "advice" I didn't ask for. Please, if you do not have a rental or know of one that you've seen or heard of, please don't comment. You do not know our full situation or exactly what's going on. I know you're trying to "help", but please don't.
That is not an option as I do not have anyone that would be able to take my pets in. And my pets are family-there is no giving them up. There are plenty of homeless pets already.
I wasn't telling you to make your pets homeless. I was giving an option so that YOU can avoid being homeless. It's clear you are not open to listening to common sense solutions. If that's the case, then you posted on the wrong board.

Yup. As a landlord, I was trying to think of more outside the box ideas for her. Personally, I'm always up for other people's ideas because I'm no expert in anything and can only learn from others. I'll leave it at that.
Well, its not an option because we have ourselves and no one else that would even consider taking on pets. All I asked for was if anyone knew of any rentals available. I really didn't need all this extra "advice". Please, comment if you have or know of a rental. We know we'll most likely have to take what we can get, but we don't have to take an unsafe place.

Jeez. People were just trying to help you out.
But now, no one will be really offering any suggestions on rentals with that kind of attitude so way to go
Ditto and yes. Your attitude stinks. With your responses in this thread, I would be shocked if anyone helped you any further.
You just nixed any chances of ANYONE on this board giving you rental suggestions. I did and got slammed by you for it.
Good luck. You most certainly need it.
Obviously the OP is under extreme pressure ... I know I would be if I had pets and a child, family health issues with my other half, financially squeezed, debt, and could be kicked out on the street by a bank at any moment. And I am also sure that in terms of advice, we're not telling her anything she isn't aware of and she hasn't heard before, so this is probably compounding her frustration. It's just a terrible situation, and perhaps explains (not excuses) the OP's disposition.
I have nothing to offer in terms of advice or solution ... these are serious life issues and hopefully the OP will find somewhere to live that it at least clean and safe even if not pretty within the relatively modest means she has at her disposal. Truth is that this isn't the best place to find a lead in this regard, and I'm sure the OP knows this as well, but at least she is trying everything she can think of.
It is true that her tone could have been slightly more accommodating, but I for one I'm okay with cutting her a break in this regard, for I don't know how I would be acting under the same situation ... and I'm not sure my social graces would be at the forefront either.
Good luck to you Ps1819grits
