Do I deserve to be kicked out of our mobile home after losing my job?

[Joe917]

My brother and I outright own a mobile home. Im living in it, and he lives in another city. I pay him $670 a month. Its been fine for the past 5 months, but I quit my job a couple months ago. It was destroying my mental health, and I had to quit. I could always get a job fairly easily, but I've applied to about 50 jobs since then. Had only 3 interviews, and no luck. Last month, I told my brother I might not be able to pay this month. The 670 automatically goes out of my savings and in to his every pay period. He asked if it already went through, or did you stop the payments. I said yes, and no, and he was like well there's not much we can do about it now. So he knows that I might not be able to may this month. Im gonna call him today, and tell him what's going on. Im looking for somewhere else to go in case he kicks me out. Do I deserve to be kicked out? Im really trying to get a job. Im hoping that he'll give me a couple months to find another job before he kicks me out, but maybe thats unrealistic.

i understand a job costing your mental health, but now you just transferred that bad mental health at work to not being able to find another job and being unemployed, which is actually worse in this economy. it's very hard to find another job right now, unfortunately. i wish you would have waited until you found another job before quitting.

you said you two outright own your mobile home. which i am assuming you mean that it is paid off? that's what i get out of the wording "outright own". so why are you paying your brother that much? is it for electricity/water?

[Joe917]

No I was paying him rent plus the electricity and water. He said I dont have to pay rent until I can find a job, but he told me he was just charging me rent, because he wanted to teach me some responsibilities. I've honestly been very sheltered most of my life, so i see where he's coming from.

Would I be an asshole for asking my brother to pause my rent payments?

[EmmaMary]

Thank you for the MHO.

Deserve to be kicked out? Is the home really owned jointly? Is there an outstanding loan? Was it really necessary to leave the job you have before finding another? How much does your brother rely on the money you are paying? Would it make sense to sell the mobile home and split the money?

How do you own half and still pay $670 a month? it's $1300 a month for a trailer?

I would apply to disability if you can't hold down a job. But make sure you can prove your disability if you go to the doctors

[LazerBean]

Well you quite job without another one lined up, so kinda.

Of course not. And I don’t know why you’re paying him to live there if you own it too.
