Theoretical Scenario II

Janet is a Christian landlady. She rents out two rooms of her house to a couple of young brothers, John and Fred. Fred has a well-paid job and always pays his rent on time. John, however, has a poorly paid job and makes different lifestyle choices. John’s rent payments have become later and later. For a while, Fred paid on John’s behalf, but recently John’s portion has completely stopped.

On explaining that the brothers risked eviction and court action, Janet comes home one day to find the rooms empty and the brothers gone.

With a substantial debt owed to her, what should she do?
