And feel free to come again... Thanks for your comment. Yes, Carol came up with a great idea. I really don't want to have all of her money coming into my account, because I really don't want to end up being her keeper. That said, it's going to take about two more years for my credit report to be clean enough for a prospective Landlord to look at and not laugh as he/she rejects it, so I need to make sure the roof I do have over my head stays there. But, yeah, integrity is the easiest thing to lose, and the hardest thing to rebuild after losing it. @ Sharon – Wow, Thanks for stopping by! And feel free to come again…

It sounds like getting the rent money in your account is the best solution. Well done for having the guts to make that call. Wow, tough situation to face.

Good luck! I doubt very much that her employer will do such a deposit– but it’s possible that her bank will set up an automatic monthly transfer. Good luck!
