I let a coworker stay at my house and house sit for me. He was leaving a bad relationship that was abusive. He ended up costing me $1500 in damages and water for staying 2 weeks. He broke my washer hoses and leaked water all over the basement. He didn't notice the hoses were no longer attached. He used my garage and rammed his car into the items stored in the garage. He forced his car to fit damaging the wicker furniture set that he ran into. He ran over boxes of tile in the garage. He moved a cast iron sink that was stored in the garage and dropped it and cracked it. He moved a antique kitchen table and broke the legs. I have to rent a dumpster to throw out all the broken items. He broke every item in the garage. If your gut is telling you don't do this, please dont. I regret it.

He was the reason for breaking the relationship. Sounds like trashy

Also, usually family is better Plus its only 6 hours

I got roasted in another post for commenting that I would have told someone leaving an abusive relationship that no they absolutely could not stay at my house for a "single night". Anyone who has ever actually offered someone "leaving an abusive relationship" knows how that actually goes - exactly like you've just described. There's often drugs or alcohol involved at the end of the crappiest relationships, and I'm not up for putting my family or my belongings through that nonsense again.
