<prompt> Human: Thanks everyone for your replies, theyve been helpful. My friend found a temporary situation that will work for his family and pets, hopefully for long enough that he can find a place to live more permanently. I brought up all your points with him and prepared to answer some of your questions, but at this time I think he would rather keep his situation private.Thanks so much for your time and your thoughts.Edited: Removed the original content of the post asking for advice and assistance with my friends situation because things are now more under his control now.  <response>: Why cant they stay at the previous residence? It takes months to evict someone in New York. Id stay put unless a sheriff is coming to literally out them out.
