A character sees a friend or family member or encounters a stranger who is down on his luck, probably homeless and maybe jobless, and he has no place to go. The person may be an orphaned child or a teen thrown out of their home, or someone who's faced a major loss, such as divorce or the death of a spouse. The Good Samaritan takes pity on him/her and invites them to live in his home until he can bounce back and find his own place. In some cases, the person is treated like a member of the family and a close bond develops. Sometimes, though, the guest overstays their welcome, which may be Played for Laughs. This is Truth in Television for a lot of people, at least with helping friends and family. Compare Recruited from the Gutter, in which one character might invite another character to live with them in order to gain access to that character's skills, and Happily Adopted, which involves formal adoption. Might be related to Staying with Friends. Can sometimes lead to the sap becoming The Thing That Would Not Leave. Financial Test of Friendship is a subtrope for when this occurs with a rich person who has lost their wealth. See also Pretty Freeloaders. |

On Royal Pains, Hank and Evan Lawson discover that they have a half-sister who's come to the Hamptons to confront their father because she's been led to believe that he abandoned her and her mother back when he was still a con artist. After discovering that she didn't have a backup plan for how she was going to return home, the brothers invite her to live with them. Towards the end of the last season, Evan and Paige decide to become foster parents for a teenage girl and her siblings, to prevent them from being separated by child services. |

Family Guy Fanon does a few extra examples like the original show (see below): Season 1's "Meg for Mercy" has the Griffins allow Change for a Buck - a casino croupier from Geronimo's Palace seen in "The Son Also Draws" - live in their house when the casino he works at goes out of business. Season 16's "The Quagmire Housefire" has Quagmire and Kimi move into the Griffin household after Peter stupidly burned Quagmire's house down with a flamethrower. |

Backfires spectacularly in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood when the rich George Joestar adopts the poor Dio Brando after mistakenly believing that his father, Dario Brando, helped save his life (in actuality, he was trying to steal from him). A dying Dario reminds Dio that George is in his debt, and convinces him to call in the favor and get adopted. Dio repays that kindness by killing George. | |

On That '70s Show, Kitty and Eric Forman allow Fez to move in after he gets kicked out of his own home, under Red's nose. When Red finds out he's been living with them, not just coming over often, a lot of things make sense to him, such as Fez taking the liberty of using their shower. Also, for much of the series' run, Hyde lived with the Formans after they found out about his neglectful mother and Disappeared Dad. | |

The Simpsons Happened many times whenever an out-of-luck Springfielder lived with the Simpsons until they bounced back. Referenced when Kent Brockman stayed with them and Homer pointed to a wall with photos of "acquaintances who stayed with us for a short time." "Three Gays of the Condo" had Homer doubting Marge's love toward him and deciding to go live with Milhouse's father for a while, but he got driven out after getting annoyed with Kirk's (and many other lonely men) crying at night and moved into an apartment in Springfield's gay district. The trope crosses over with My Significance Sense Is Tingling in "Bart Carny." After Homer invites some down-on-their-luck carnies to stay with his family, we cut to Marge and Lisa sitting in the house, with Marge suddenly trembling uncontrollably. "Bartless" offers a What If? scenario in which Bart takes this role in relation to the rest of the family: in an alternate timeline where Homer and Marge only had two children, Lisa and Maggie, they find Bart with no memories of who he is and take him in while Springfield's police department searches for his parents. Although his chaotic presence complicates their lives, when the police announce they're transferring him to an orphanage, Homer and Marge realize that they don't want to give him up. |

When Montana Max buys the Loo Bru and kicks Dizzy out of the apartment above it, Babs and Sweetie let Dizzy stay in their dorm room. Dizzy soon proves to be a difficult roommate by keeping Babs and Sweetie up with his loud drumming, being so messy that he makes Sweetie look like Babs, and eating Sweetie's report on the theory of toon gravity. | |

School Rumble: Downplayed. Mikoto finds Harima on the streets during the Christmas break because he was locked out of the apartment he shared with his cousin while she went on vacation. She tells him he's welcome to stay at the Suou home, but his pride makes him decline. She then employs a Batman Gambit, buying a good many groceries for a "family party" and tells him she bought too much and asks him to help her carry them, which he does. Once they're at the Suou place, she tells him he can stay, just tell people he's an employee of her family (and she provides him a uniform). This comes into play a few days later, as Eri is also crashing with Mikoto trying to escape an arranged marriage, and when the Sawichika family butler tracks Eri there, Mikoto presses Harima into service, having him flee on a motorbike with Eri. | |

In the unaired pilot of The Big Bang Theory Sheldon & Leonard take in a woman they find on the street who had just gone through a big breakup with the man she was living with. She would have been Leonard's and/or Sheldon's love interest had the show continued in that direction. In Season Eight, Stuart became the caretaker to Mrs. Wolowitz. After she died, Howard and Bernadette kept him on since he had no other place to go. Raj found himself homeless after he was cut off from his father's fortune in the Tenth Season and ended up temporarily living with Leonard and Penny. |

In the Sonic Boom episode, "Can An Evil Genius Crash On Your Couch For a Few Days?" Sonic lets Dr. Eggman stay in his house while the latter's evil lair is being repaired by his robots. However, Eggman quickly becomes a nuisance to Sonic and his friends. It is later revealed that Eggman's base wasn't under renovation and he was deliberately being a nuisance to Sonic and his friends to exhaust them so they'd be too tired to stop his latest giant robot, the Obliteratorbot. However, the Obliteratorbot malfunctions and prepares to destroy Eggman's base, forcing the latter to team up with Sonic and his friends to shut it down. When Eggman's base is destroyed for real, Sonic decides to just drop Eggman off at his destroyed base. | |

DuckTales (1987): Discussed but ultimately averted in the episode "Down and Out in Duckburg, in which Scrooge has lost his fortune. The nephews suggest asking Launchpad or Gyro for lodging, but Scrooge shoots down that idea, saying that, "Now that [he's] poor, they'll treat [him] like [he] treat[s] poor people." One season later in "Super DuckTales" Scrooge loses everything again, this time to the Beagle Boys after they use a remote to take over Gizmoduck's suit and make him their unwilling slave. It's played straight here, as Launchpad is more than happy to let everyone stay at his home during their difficult time. |

Sonic the Hedgehog cartoons: In the Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) episode, "The Odd Couple", Sally's house gets destroyed by Dulcy when she crash-lands into it. Sonic lets Sally, Tails, and Bunnie stay in his house and moves into Antoine's until the storm blows over and he can rebuild Sally's. Being a homage to the series of the same name, Sonic is the Oscar to Antoine's Felix. At the end of the episode, Sonic decides to rebuild Sally's house, storm or no storm. However, a tree falls on Antoine's house, quickly turning it into a Here We Go Again! situation. In the Sonic Boom episode, "Can An Evil Genius Crash On Your Couch For a Few Days?" Sonic lets Dr. Eggman stay in his house while the latter's evil lair is being repaired by his robots. However, Eggman quickly becomes a nuisance to Sonic and his friends. It is later revealed that Eggman's base wasn't under renovation and he was deliberately being a nuisance to Sonic and his friends to exhaust them so they'd be too tired to stop his latest giant robot, the Obliteratorbot. However, the Obliteratorbot malfunctions and prepares to destroy Eggman's base, forcing the latter to team up with Sonic and his friends to shut it down. When Eggman's base is destroyed for real, Sonic decides to just drop Eggman off at his destroyed base. |

Tiny Toon Adventures In the cartoon, "The Weird Couple" (part of "You Asked For It, Part II"), Dizzy Devil gets washed out of his cave by a rainstorm and goes to live at Hamton's house, staying there for two months. The cartoon is a homage to The Odd Couple, with Hamton and Dizzy in the roles of Felix and Oscar, respectively. In the cartoon, "Maid to Re-Order" (part of "Best of Buster Day") Buster lets Grovely and his family stay in his burrow after Montana Max fires him and kicks them out of his mansion. Of course, they are used to the high-class accommodations of Monty's mansion, and Buster decides to help Grovely get his job back. In "Save the Loo Bru" from the reboot Tiny Toons Looniversity, it's revealed that Dizzy lives in the apartment above the Loo Bru. When Montana Max buys the Loo Bru and kicks Dizzy out of the apartment above it, Babs and Sweetie let Dizzy stay in their dorm room. Dizzy soon proves to be a difficult roommate by keeping Babs and Sweetie up with his loud drumming, being so messy that he makes Sweetie look like Babs, and eating Sweetie's report on the theory of toon gravity. |

An episode later, Asami's father has been arrested for aiding the equalists and his assets seized, so Korra invites all three of them to live with her and Tenzin's family. Bolin goes on to proclaim in season three just how much he loves being part of Tenzin's zany sitcom family. By season four, after a three-year timeskip, Asami has regained control of her father's assets and has since invited Mako and Bolin's entire extended Earth Kingdom family to live on her estate, after they lost their home in Ba Sing Se. Prince Wu, Mako's employer, goes on to join the household after Kuvira's coup derails his coronation. | |

Kentaro was kicked out of his house for wanting to be a musician instead of following his parents' wishes but failed to earn a living with his passion, Suguri is a naive Country Mouse who has never lived apart from her parents before and doesn't know how to navigate the city on her own. Momoko lives with her Domestic Abuser and has to move out when the latter tries to harm her dog. Teppei eventually rents another unit in the apartment building to serve as the girls' dormitory (the rent is cut out from their wages), although Kentaro still stays with him. | |

A famous episode of Spongebob Squarepants had SpongeBob let homeless and jobless Squidward Tentacles live in his house until he found the courage to get a job. He thought it would be about a week, but Squidward ended up taking advantage of his hospitality and stayed with him for months on end. A later episode has SpongeBob offering to let the Flying Dutchman move in after his ship is wrecked. The Dutchman not only takes advantage of SpongeBob’s hospitality, but repeatedly scares him to the point that SpongeBob becomes completely desensitized to it. This leads to the ghost losing the ability to scare anyone, and the rest of the episode involves SpongeBob trying to help him get his confidence back. |
