It turns out it was option D - the option I never mentioned.
They're going to move him out, but not yet. They said he currently has a 2 week transition to the next place, but that still needs to be officially confirmed. Apparently it won't be longer.
In the meantime it looks like I'll be staying in this hotel. Although I did ask if I may be able to move to one with a washing machine because I don't want to have to handwash things.
Apparently they also told the other kid a number of my concerns I'd expressed in my email (but hadn't actually told him) and he got angry and started threatening me. So that'd probably be why I'm staying here until he leaves. Before this we were on more of a neutral footing, now he has an active dislike for me. So that's nice I guess
That sounds like a pretty good result, all things considered. As much as living in a hotel in the short-term isn't ideal, it's your own space & safe.
And not great that the kid's now angry at you, but it sounds like you won't have to see him again?
Hopefully everything stabilises quickly.
Hopefully. The timeline that's been proposed is 2 weeks for him to transition elsewhere, but only 1 more week for me here. But that's just what they're starting with, there's room for either side to change as needed
Ugghh. They mismanaged the hell out of that and actively aggravated the situation. Whoever is doing this sucks at their job.
Also this kid needs to take some responsibility - there were conditions for him living there so if he broke the rules and has cops coming around then that's on him.
Lol. At this point mishandling things seems to be their M.O.
You should read "The Trial" by Kafka if you get the chance. Great critique on bureaucracy. It's not a long book.
Couldn't have gone more wrong if they tried
Does the hotel have a laundry service you can use?
