so apparently this time he lost his bank card and it got drained of funds. He's not going to be able to pay me back the money he already owed me, and rent looks unlikely as well.

This is after he still owed me part of the $500 he borrowed from me, so he's going to be over a grand in the hole with me at this point.

Needless to say I'm not really buying it.

If he can't make rent on the first, I'm going to need a printed bank statement to believe what he's said, and even then we can't keep this place on good vibes alone, I'll have to start looking for a new roommate if he falls any further behind.
