<prompt> Human: Im a single guy with no kids. I purchased a 4 bedroom house in February, and Im living in one of the rooms while renting out two of the other rooms to friends, and my sister is living rent free in the remaining bedroom. I put a lot of my savings into fixing up this house, so getting laid off has put me in a very tight financial bind. I can last for about 2-3 months before Id need to either go into credit card debt or tap into my 401 K.One option I could consider is moving out and going into my mothers house. Then renting out my room to at least give me some income while I look for a new job.The positives are saving money by living with my mother, having supplemental income. The negatives feel much larger though. Longer commute for any potential new job, the amount of time Id spend moving the stuff, if I got a new job, its not like I can immediately move back, and most of all Im still responsible for repairs at the 4 bedroom house, so Ill have to visit frequently. Finally, this house was bought with 10 down, so that includes a requirement that I live in the house for two years. I could be introducing myself to some legal issue, though I doubt anyone would find out.I know that Id prefer to stay in my house, at least for the 1st month to see if I can find something quickly. However, Im not sure if Im being impartial or rational enough, so Id like a second opinion.Assistant: Why dont you make your sister move back in with your mom and rent her room?Human: This! Its his house, why should his sister stay rent free while he moves out?? Assistant: Because she let me stay rent free at her apartment while I was paying off my student loans, Im returning the favor while she tries to start her own small business.  <response>: Dont set yourself on fire to keep others warm Your sisters financial burden would not change if she moves in with mom, as Im gathering that would be a free stay as well. Losing your job is a completely acceptable reason to renege on doing someone a favor. Your sister will understand Im sure.
