I would hope a female with a child would think long and hard on moving in an excon who was a habitual criminal that hasn't shown signs of valuing his chances at a better life by huffing glue while he is on probation. Blaming his problems on a probation officer, and a landlord, and not his own behavior makes him dangerous and disruptive to anyone he latches onto, or latches onto him.

He goes down, you go down. He is headed down, not up.
