This would be an almost three. it would depend on the person and the circumstances. if they are very reliable and have fallen on bad luck times out of their control, and we can get along well maybe for a short while with the understanding they would be already trying to get back on their feet. If it is someone who has always been a screw up, can rarely support themself and have a reputation for mooching NO!I have heard too many nightmares stories of people who have taken in deadbeats and it is very hard to get them back out. I think those kind of people are good at getting into a place and have no intention of leaving.

Depends on the friend, depends on the situation, depends on how long they want to stay. There are certain friends I know I could live with, others I know I could not, some I am not so sure about. It all depends.

I put a friend up for a couple weeks once and it was a disaster. Be careful about this.

i would let a friend stay if they really needed to cuz i could never let a friend stay on the streets but they would need to work on getting their own place as soon as possible.

I have been there and never took advantage of the person helping me out and would probably help depending on who it is. There are some people looking for a crutch rather than a temporary situation so those I try not to get involved with. (sometimes its hard to tell the difference however)

Depends on who and for how long. I don't mind a friend crashing on the couch for a couple of weeks while they look for a place. Pretty much all of the friends that I have right now would be the kind to honestly look for a place of their own, and are polite enough that I would enjoy their company for an extended period of time. But, being married and living in a one-bedroom apartment, I do need some privacy with my husband once in a while!

Depends. There are certain friends that I know I could NEVER live with, and there are friends that could move in tomorrow and stay 'til I die without a problem.

As for the first type of friend, I might help them with money to stay in their own place or I might find them a place to stay with another friend who can live with them withou personality clashes. I'd let them in though if neither worked and they'd be homeless without me, but not sooner.

Whoa..."moving in" is a lot different than staying for a few days or weeks! First of all,how well do I know and like this person? Can I trust them,get along well? Are they going to contribute financially or are they looking for a hand out? I'm not saying I would definately refuse,but I'd sure think about it long and hard.Living together is not even easy with lovers and relatives....

Highly subjective. Depends on the friend and the situation.

For a short period of time, maybe but I would look for other options first. Families living together can be stressful.
