Need advice.. I'm letting a friend crash at my place while they get some personal affairs sorted out. I made the offer thinking it would just be for a few days, and it's now going on almost two weeks. How can I politely tell them it's time to move on? Also looking for budget-friendly housing options that they can move into ASAP.

Just be honest and tell them, no need for you to do their homework

Honestly, A few days is not long enough to get personal affairs sorted out, considering that he/she crashing at your place. I think a month

Let them know that they need to find somewhere else to stay and give them a timeline to depart.

And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?
