Page 6. Portland Observer. M arch 4. 1987 H< m T o Avoid Paying Rent And Still Have A Place To Live Rent does more to empty the pocketbook than any other single expense except perhaps medical bills For it reoccurs on a monthly, or sometimes even a weekly basis, and takes the largest share of your income And for what? A sometimes leaky roof over your head, or a house or apartment that the landlord doesn't take much interest in fixing up through gieed, or txrcause he or sfie thinks that if the plate is repaired, some present or future tenants might damage it So. after you've paid your rent, you have nothing lasting to show for it. and if you miss a time or two. you and your possessions will be out in the street So why torture yourself this way? Just find a way to live rent free and you II be much better off home protected from vandalism However, sometimes a place in the city needs someone to look after it If you look around, sometimes you can get an apartment with utilities out of the deal, perhaps |ust for staying there at night or maybe living there so people know that someone is around most of the time even though you might be allowed to work at your regular job or come and go as you wish Last year I needed to go to a large city to get medical treatment, so I found a free guest house conveniently located and got to live there just because the lady of the house was an alcoholic and oflen drank to excess and passed out, so the husband wanted someone on the premises while he worked, just to be there is case of emergency P robably the best th in g to do. if you takin g services for liv in g qu arters and (utilities are usually in clu d e d ) A n d th is ow ner or som eone w h o has another A t present.
