I moved into my apartment from a skilled nursing facility on November *, * with assistance from a local transition agency. They gave my new roommate $* for 1st month rent and deposit as sublease. I found out he is 3 months behind in rent and spent my money. He (and I) are facing eviction. Do I, as a a disabled 62 year old, have any protections?
