[MF] How we’re paying the rent during COVID. March-April 2020

Me and my girlfriend are on our early 30’s and we ‘ve immigrated to another country a couple of years ago. I was legal to work here but she wasn’t. I worked as a waiter in a restaurant and she worked remotely from home to a business in our homeland.

COVID has ruined everything for us. My gf was fired and I couldn’t work as long as the restaurants were closed. Our financial situation was horrible, and I was desperately trying to find a new job, but times were difficult for something stable. The rent was running.

I offered my landlord to significantly lower the rates and he refused the first time. The second time, he refused again as I more desperately begged him. He’s a 50-60 year-old bastard that doesn’t even work, he gets money by the houses he ‘s got. He’s creepy, one day I opened the door to go to work and he was standing right behind the door, pretending he was about to ask me for the rent, but I’m sure he was listening to the conversation I had with my gf. Anyway.
