Dear Alice,
My cousin is moving to my city and I made the mistake of inviting her to stay on my couch while she is looking for an apartment. I thought this would take a few weeks, max. So far, it's been a month and it doesn't seem like she's making very much progress on her own place. She IS trying, but her budget is very limited (which I only found out once she arrived) and so she's having a hard time finding something she can afford. It's not about money. In fact, I don't want to try to charge her rent or anything because I feel like it'll just eat up her savings which she needs to get a place. I'm just really tired of having someone in my space all the time. She's nice and cleans up after herself, but my place is really small so it's getting to be stressful and I'm really ready to have my privacy back. She also doesn't have a job yet so it's 24/7. But she's already here; I can't just kick her out with nowhere to go. What should I do?
Sincerely,
Hating Being a Hostess
