I have a problem and I don't know how to go and fix it. My brother had a motorcycle accident in june 2005 and he lost his apartment because he couldn't work. He has healed and now he's working and he's been here for almost six months now. I have given him until then end of December to be out but he's not putting in any effert to look for a place. I some advice to get him out with out making him hate me. I am married and have three children to take care of. Plus since he's working he's not giving anything toward the rent and stuff like that. Hope someone can help.

You brother is taking advantage of you. It's time to stop being nice, or worry about hurting his feelings. He is obviously not worried about yours.

Give him the newspaper or book of apartment listing. Maybe even circle some good choices. It's time to let him know you are serious. Continue to remind him that end of December IS the deadline of when he has to be out because you can no longer financially support him.

Good luck!
