To be nice, I said she could stay in my room (ie master bedroom) since it had a private bath and that I would stay in the guest room.
When the niece arrived, she had her (also unemployed) boyfriend in tow. Neither me nor my roommate knew he was coming. After a couple of days of them just hanging out on the couch, I finally asked what their plans were. "The plan" was to spend 2-3 WEEKS, possibly a couple of MONTHS poking around Atlanta to see if they liked it and really wanted to move there. My roommate and I immediately had a meeting where we both agreed that this wasn't working for either of us. He broke the news to them the next day that the boyfriend wasn't part of the bargain and that they had to make other arrangements. Took them a couple of days to find other friends to stay with and clear out.
