I am a foreigner and I am staying in a rented room for about 2 years, and now out of nowhere, the owner wants to rent it out to his friend and wants me to vacate the room.
He has given me a month period according to the contract to vacate. The problem is that I have sent most of my salary back home, and do not have the cash to pay a deposit for a new room.
I am looking into the options of getting a short-term loan from the bank (trying at different banks), and hopefully, I will be able to get some money to pay the deposit to move into a new room.
If that fails, are there any other ways to rent out a room or anything I can do to help my own situation? I am kind of desperate and anxious about what would happen.
If you have any suggestions, please share it with me. I work in the IT sector as a Presales Manager, if that helps.

- Do you have a credit card? Else most realistic is just to send money back to pay deposit. You should always have 3-6 months worth of salary available immediately for this kind of situation.
- Could you get back the deposit from the current landlord and then use (most) of it for the next one?
