A woman created a forum on Reddit this week explaining her relationship with her neighbours who she says told their illegal tenant he could bunk in her house after kicking him out.
Reddit user Starla_scarlett said her neighbour's husband had contacted her husband to ask whether he would come over to remove a man the couple was trying to kick out. At this point, the neighbouring couple had asked Starla and her partner for a plethora of favours, so she said "enough is enough" and told him to block the couple.
A few hours later, a man appeared at Starla's door sobbing. He laments how he's an illegal alien who 's been living with the neighbours for two weeks because the area is filled with income-based apartments, which require tenants to report guests who've been staying past a certain time frame.

Starla vented her problem on a Reddit forum (Reddit)The man claimed the neighbours were cruel to him, saying they forced him to clean as a way to earn his keep but kicked him out in 10 degree weather with all his possessions spread across their front yard because he asked them to clean up after themselves. He ultimately told Starla that his former landlords said he could stay with her and her husband. Starla said her neighbours had exhausted her kindness and patience at that moment because she was tired and now had a stranger begging to live with her at midnight.

Starla suggested that she knew her neighbours would be a nuisance once they began routinely asking for favours, money and help with everyday household things. "I kept my distance as I don't like getting overly involved with neighbors for THIS reason," she wrote in the forum.
The couple initially arrived with a one-year-old baby who was eventually removed from the house after family members accused them of neglecting the child, saying they cared more about drugs than caring for the baby. "All I know about that is the baby could be heard through my walls crying and crying while I could smell weed," Starla said. Additionally, she said one of them had tried to dump their cat on her without asking, seemingly guilt-tripping Starla by crying.
The cat wasn't loving toward the couple or Starla's cat, who was immediately hissed at. "I felt bad but this was really strange and I did not appreciate having a cat forced on me out of nowhere by people we don't know." She quickly had her husband take the cat back to her owners. Recently, the neighbouring husband has been texting Starla's husband desperately asking for money, claiming he's running out of food.
When the couple tried to recommend a local food pantry, he swatted that idea away and told them he needed money. Given his past with neglectful parenting and substance abuse, Starla decided to ignore the messages, saying he is probably trying to capitalise off her husband's kind heart.
