    To me it's 50/50 but I'll tell you this, you'd likely get laughed at, at a bank if you told them you needed a business loan to pay rent.

    Isn't the government taking care of unemployment? Sure there might be a delay but if you apply you will get it.

    They don't seem very understanding. My rental company just stated they would try to help people who can't pay rent.

    It's likely because they are a national company that has hundreds of houses in several cities.

    And to be fair there is upside in renting from a national company, if anything fucks up they have it fixed in a day or 2, they never drop by for unannounced visits etc.

    I'm not saying what any company is doing is right but this needs to be a huge wake up call to many people. No matter what you have to sacrifice try your best to have a couple of months rent/mortgage in the bank. In the end no company will truly care about you so it's up to you to safeguard yourself. Don't mean that in a dickish way just some very good advice.

    Some of this is going to be luck of the draw. You're looking for email addresses for 15 professors / researchers.

If you get someone who wrote a research paper as a grad student 15 years ago and never worked as a professor you're in trouble. If y... Read more[/div]
