Down On His Luck

But Marshall would soon find himself down on his luck. Howe, whom Marshall described as his ‘best friend,’ as well as his ‘drinking buddy,’ would offer Marshall a place to stay. Howe lived in a fairly new apartment complex in Southgate, London, which had an extra room downstairs. He ended up offering up the space to Marshall and his girlfriend.

Not Paying Rent

Marshall, who lived with Howe since November 2008, would soon enough not be able to make his rent payments due to his lack of funds. And while Howe originally gave him time to gather the money, months would pass without payment, and he would begin demanding Marshall to pay him.
