    Go to your town's social services office. They should be able to find you shelter. What town are you in? I'll try and find the closest office for you. I just need your town and state.

    Hmm, well in that case, I'm not sure how to direct you. My answer was based on help in the USA. We have some Canadian members, perhaps they can tell you where to find assistance. I'll search the internet to see if I can find a place for you to try.

    thank you so much for all your help,I am not the greatest guy on a computor thats why it took me so long to thank you Rod or rapin1

    Try here...... http://www.mcss.gov.on.ca/en/mcss/index.aspx


    Or here........ http://www.brucecounty.on.ca/services-health/social-housing.php

    Why? If the law was being broken then the landlord may have some rights, if you did not pay any rent the landlord has the right, but there are no details here as to the 'why' of it...so you could provide more info or contact your local landlord-tenant board for advice. Peace. Good luck.

    rapinr
