They ran a temporary copper line to hook it all up.

May I suggest:It could be temporary.

an interior drain tile system is going to take the pressure off the basement walls and under the floor and sounds a lot more cost effective especially compared to the crack repair job that seems like an expensive temporary patch job.

Give them an allowance on how much they can spend on a hotel for a temporary living situation?  

My first thought is the renter believes they cannot move out--no money for a mover, too weak//or lazy// to move their belongings.My second thought is they have no money to rent another place--either tapped out of CASH and credit or their circumstances have changed, wife lost original job now makes min wage or something.My third thought is the will stall the move out as long as possible to avoid being couch surfers who must abandon many of their belongings.If they believe they are between a rock and a hard place, they seem to set still on the Rock.For some, Temporary Employment could help them out (provide some cash for expenses).This kind of thing comes with owning rentals (in some areas) for some people, some times.As has been said before this business isn't just Sunshine and Lollipops.https://www.youtube.com/watch?
