That sucks super bad. Especially that a gay landlord took advantage of his position. Landlords are scum.
Yea. Gay landlords are still landlords. :/
Fuck landlords, homophobes, racists, creepy landlords too. So sorry to hear about all you and your coworkers' awful previous experiences on top of this horrible and unjust situation you're in right now. I'm beyond terrified of landlords, eviction, and homelessness myself, especially displacing my mother (who is also a target of serious housing discrimination); I think renting is traumatic, but especially for people who experience precarity with it.
Thank you for responding. You've no idea how much I appreciate it. I have nowhere to go if I don't find housing and if I have to spend money on AirBnB and shit like this I will probably not have money for a deposit if I ever find anything. I caved in and paid for the premium account on the website which promises to give you extra privileges. I hope it works. The stress is absolutely beyond ruining me.

But seriously you should reach out to a local homeless shelter, your municipality/social services and to friends who can lend a couch. You could rent a two bedroom place jointly with a local, as that might give you preferential treatment by proxy.
I actually moved into the current country a month ago and don't speak the language (my work is fully in English and I'm doing outrageously well, will get promoted in 4 months) so homeless shelter wouldn't really be an option. I am aware of what flatshares are, thank you very much. :)
Sorry to hear, have you tried reaching out to social services?
