How do you leave without making a scene?

This isn't your main point, but I wanted to respond to one concern of yours. If you are worried about being evicted without much warning because your landlord is in the LC, you should talk to an attorney. Find a real estate or landlord/tenant attorney. Bring your rental contract. If you don't have a written contract but are staying there based on an oral agreement, even then there should be some legal protection for you (maybe 30-days notice). Let an attorney know your exact situation. This may seem like overkill, but it's good to be prepared in case what you fear (losing your home) should come to pass. One negative thing about the LC is that they discouraged talking to professionals (lawyers, accountants, therapists, etc.). It is completely legitimate in your situation to get legal advice. Hopefully the brother you rent from will not do anything inappropriate, but it's still wise to protect yourself.

Your state’s Housing Authority could also be helpful.

I had a tenant one time (sister's house) who went on the local Fox affiliate and alleged that we were a cult. They did a nasty segment about us and the occult on the nightly news. It was awful.

Do you mean Fox news?

Not FNC national cable news, but my local Fox Broadcasting affiliate.
