as I have been evicted, and basically that means I can't rent anywhere in the US for at least two years.

There are an increasing number of sublets and private rentals in my area, that don't check rental history. Everything is fairly under the table, month to month with no binding leases, for better or worse depending on your situation. Just bringing it up as a potential avenue to consider, maybe there are options in your area too.

Can you like dm me where this place is?

I am basically bound to my current roach motel that just happens to allow month to month rent, without kicking you out after 3 weeks.

I have been using a shit tier 4g phone for months now trying to find no credit check apartments. Everything is a scam, and none the shady apartments seem to actually list online anywhere.

'Look for private rentals!' Is good advice but... with what search engine, what rental website actually has a private rentals filter that actually works? Ive not found one.

Craigslist is bone dry where I am, and the few times a listing pops up, either they don't respond or they don't allow evictions or , again, its a scam.

I bussed halfway across the country to find the cheapest motel rates I could.

Im not a resident of the state as I do not live in a residence.

I dont qualify for rental assistance as I do not live in a residence.

And I don't qualify for homeless assistance as I am not homeless.

Its fucking wonderful.
