<prompt> Human: Im posting on behalf of my boyfriend, who I am extremely worried about. His family is very abusive and they have forced him to give them every paycheck he has gotten all summer as living expenses. His parents kicked him out of the house because he left the sink dirty, and only gave him 200 to start over. He is moving to live with his cousin, where rent is 200 a month for him. He needs to find a new job, because his current job will now be hours away. His cell service will be shut off and his cousins apartment has no WiFi. He has no car and weve been discussing how to get him out of this tough spot. Im honestly at a loss for words and he has to move out tonight. Any advice on how to make it out of this situation, how to budget to be able to afford food and basic living expenses off of 200 until he gets his next job and paycheck? Im a college student with no income, or I would try to help him myself.Assistant: Actually if they have been forcing him to pay rent, then he is most likely covered by tenant laws. As such they cant just throw him out Depends on the city so check local laws or if they do have to give him quite a bit more than that. This isnt true everywhere obviously, but it is something to look into. Clearly he wouldnt want to stay in a toxic situation, but hey if they are going to be dicks..fight fire with fire. Human: I agree but he is worried because his dad is an upper in the FBI, the police dont really bother with him. Thats our main concern, hes immune to most police action.  <response>: If it gets that far, you could go to the press. If his dad is that important, Im sure at least the local press would be interested.
