I have to disagree. Finding a rental place that is affordable (the article said he was struggling as an actor) with a pet in a large city is very tough. If you have been grandfathered into a comfortable lease/rental agreement in a place you've been living in for a very long time, you get sticker shock when just looking. We have tenants living in my building who pay $500 monthly. (includes water and gas) Similar apartments go for $800+ now. $300 extra a month and no utilities included is a huge difference, especially if you're already struggling financially. Having a pet is another handicap when looking at rentals. A lot of landlords don't want to deal with the noise or damage that comes with renting out to someone with pets, even a yorkie. (believe me, I've tried)
He had no family to lean on, ask to watch over his pet while he got situated elsewhere, or even having someone that will take them both in if they got evicted. Imagine a life like that?

Add in the fact that his pet is a pittie, he was being harassed by people that could make him homeless, I truly believe he was forced into a very tough situation where he could no longer see clearly. No one would rent an apartment or even a house to a guy with a pitbull, it'll raise the insurance too much. Way too much liability, even if the dog was well trained.

I'm sorry, the only way that he could have easily moved was if he was making good money. I understand he made a very poor decision, but I do believe he was bullied into it.
