is this “weekly rent” worth it? opinions please

so I’m coming on here for my bf (22m) who is renting basically a bed in his friends girlfriends moms house. I’ve been there only a couple times and the place is a disaster.. the woman who owns the home is basically a hoarder, just to give a picture of the environment without going into details. I hate that he has to live there but with the renting crisis and everything that has happened to him in his personal life, this is what he has right now. So basically she began charging him 100$ for the space, which is an old mattress in the corner of his friends bedroom. Every month she’s been asking for more money, to borrow money, etc. recently she’s asked him to start paying 50$/wk to make it “easier on him and her” since she’s got bills and shit to pay for. The thing is, so does he. And with prices the way they are we can’t do much but work, eat, doordash, sleep and repeat. We’ve been sleeping in the car for the last few weeks to save on gas instead of driving home while doordashing together. He doesn’t even want to go back there, he would rather pay for a shower at the gas station then take one there and I understand why lol, but we can’t do that bc its 15-18$ to spray some water on yourself. It’s been hard on us, and 200$ isn’t a lot but spread over 4 weeks has seemed to put both of us in bad positions. We both have bills, we both have to eat, we also need gas which what used to be 25 is now 50 to fill my tank. I got pulled over and had my car towed for having a suspended license earlier this week while doordashing. It had expired at 12am… they pulled me over at 2am. My insurance wasn’t updated in the system, I never got a notice, and I’ve been working constantly so I didn’t know. They towed my car and we were left stranded at 3am in a random town, it was 220$ to get it back and so all the money we made just got thrown away over something I could’ve fixed on a 5 min phone call. All this to say, shit happens and this woman is pressing him over this 50$ he owes her every week now, and I love him to death but he doesn’t want to speak up for himself because he’s afraid he won’t have a roof over his head. How do I explain to this woman in the nicest way possible that he can’t do that right now. So much shit happens and you never know if you’re gonna be broke by the end of the week sometimes. Especially right now, even getting paid weekly. We don’t have a savings, it’s been so long since I’ve even been able to put something in savings everything just disappears. I’ve become anemic bc of the lack of cheap, sustainable food. I feel like I’m going insane trying to keep any job, I have such bad burnout and I can’t even just afford f.cking shampoo that doesn’t have some chemical in it to make my hair fall out. I’m sick of this shit. I was making just the same as I am now over a year ago and I had a whole ass apartment, one job, college, worked out and ate right. I did not work this hard to have a place 2 years ago. I’m working harder, making less. Neither of us have any time to take care of ourselves, I can’t even pause for a moment to center and refocus and try to find something better than this right now. This turned from a question into a rant, would love to hear opinions. Thank you.
