Eviction?!
There was abuse within my parents marriage so when my mom said she wanted to escape and asked me to apply for an apartment in my name I was totally down to help her. She told me "Don't worry about your credit, I'll use our (meaning my parents) income tax to pay up rent for the whole year.
Next thing I know she blew the whole $8000 on new furniture! The lease started February 15th 2018. She paid late in march 2018 and has paid late every month since then.
Currently she's due for February AND March because she only made a partial for February on Valentine's Day. She's so late I'm surprised they haven't evicted her yet or at least locked her out. She has enough money to pay what she owes for February but refuses to pay it because "she wants to hold on to it so she can pay February and march at the same time 🙄"
I really hope she pays Friday because I'm so stressed, I don't her to get an eviction in my name but she doesn't seem to care. If she gets evicted and I explain the situation will it help my credit at all? Or am I just completely screwed
Edit: She has no credit and technically no income. Thats why I helped her in the first place. She refuses to work and lives off child support from my dad ($1200 a month) which is actually enough to pay for everything but she doesn't manage the money well.
Edit 2: I forgot to add I have asked her to move out or switch the apartment to her name. She said she wants to stay under my name for another 6 months which I find weird
