Have you been depending on free government rent money?. Are you working? So, why haven't you been paying your rent? Or do you think that the taxpayer is responsible for supporting you? So, why didn't you pay your rent and for how long?
I don't mean to sound so mean, but it takes a lot of missed payments in order to enable eviction. And I know that millions have taken advantage of government laws to prevent eviction, thinking they will live rent free forever on the government/taxpayer plantation.

To be honest, I think you went a bit far with asking this person to explain there situation, and for you to ask is this person stiffing the landlord without he/she even stating the reason, that's if this person wants to state the reason at all. I was asking because I was concern for this individual. To "ME" you coming off as being mean.

Actually, I'm asking legitimate questions in a straightforward way. Everywhere I go I see 'Help Wanted' signs. Everyone who wants to work can find a decent paying job. But let's face facts. We all know that millions are milking the government/taxpayers for all they can get. Free rent for the last year and a half. Many deadbeats want to continue free rent for themselves and forever; of course at someone else's expense.....the landlord or taxpayer.
Whether we like it or not, there are many who just don't want to work and choose to live on the government welfare plantation.
So, it's okay to ask straightforward direct questions from a person getting evicted. You have to miss a lot of payments and the landlord has to jump through legal hoops to get one evicted.
So, I let my questions stand. Welfare and free stuff from the government only leads to more poverty and criime.

While there are some people who can work and choose not to, there are also many people who have been severely injured or have disabilities that God has not healed yet that prevent them from working. Sometimes people just have a season of need. There are many reasons why people need help.
I find it quite disturbing that you, and others, would question a person as if they were beneath you in such a judgmental way. This person asked for prayer, NOT for their needs to be met, and NOT for financial help or advice! So it’s really none of your business and you really have no right to ask them these questions. You also don’t have the right to ask someone these questions because your own bills are paid at the moment, nor does it mean you are better than this person who is in need of prayer. Let’s all pray to God that He does not take what you have away from you and put you in a similar situation.
As Christians, we are to give freely when supplying the physical needs of those in need, no questions asked, and we are to do it with a cheerful heart. Instead of freely offering a prayer, the EASIEST THING YOU COULD DO FOR A PERSON, you questioned this person as if they have done something wrong. It is not a crime to fall on hard times or to be poor and needy, nor is it a sin.
*1 John 3:17 “But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?”
*Deuteronomy 15:7-11“If among you, one of your brothers should become poor, in any of your towns within your land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother, but you shall open your hand to him and lend him sufficient for his need, whatever it may be. Take care lest there be an unworthy thought in your heart and you say, ‘The seventh year, the year of release is near,’ and your eye look grudgingly on your poor brother, and you give him nothing, and he cry to the Lord against you, and you be guilty of sin. You shall give to him freely, and your heart shall not be grudging when you give to him, because for this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake. For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, ‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.’.”
*2 Corinthians 9:7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver”
*Proverbs 31:8-9 “Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.”
*Luke 16:19-31 “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. 20 And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, 21 who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side.[f] The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. 24 And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’ 27 And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house— 28 for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’ 29 But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”

Lord, you are good in all circumstances and your glory shines through when all hope is seemingly lost. The heart of kings are in your hands and you turn it in whichever direction you please. Silver and gold, a cattle on a thousand hills belong to you. I ask that you you touch the decision-makers in @Gypsy 's situation and cause them to be favourable to her. Create opportunities for her to be able to resolve whatever issues that have caused this. Overrule as King of kings in this matter to the glory of your holy name, Amen🙏
