I naturally assumed that if someone from the housing office told her it was due that that individual would be familiar with whatever policy is in the housing agreement. I may be mistaken on that. If so, definitely track down a copy of the housing agreement you signed and see what it says. It could be your saving grace.

Again, you’re making pleas to our emotions. We understand that you don’t have the money. We get that your parents don’t have the money. Yes, it’s terribly unfair. But – you’re an adult, and signed a legal contract and are bound to the terms of that whether you like it or not.

If they actually demand that you pay the money that you legally owe them, you’re not going to get much sympathy from the people here, I’m afraid. It’s just a facet of “real life”.

I hope your father gets better soon and that you find a resolution to this dilemma.
