Hey man, I can't really help you on the housing front, but if you're concerned about personal safety, consider getting some OC spray. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them, and provide training when I'm back stateside.

I'm actually more afraid that I will do something to him. I'm not trying to sound edgy, or like a big tough guy, but I'm twice his size and he is a complete coward. BUT I don't know if he has weapons etc.

Plus I just don't want to hurt anyone. I'm not that type of person . I really don't wanna punch or hit this guy, even though he is putting us through this

That's one of the upsides of OC; it carries less potential of permanent damage than throwing hands. While the effects are quite unpleasant in the short term, there is no lasting damage, and I've seen first hand how quickly it can bring an encounter to an end.
