Fallout 2 Hints
Collect on overdue rent.
1 of 6: If you're at a high enough level, the sheriff of Redding will hire you on for a bit, since he can't seem to work with his broken leg. If he won't hire you, just wait until you've gained a few levels and come back for work later.
2 of 6: The Widow Rooney (who lives just to the west of the jail) owes the mayor some money on her rent.
3 of 6: Talk to the Widow, and see what she has to say.
4 of 6: It looks like she can't afford to pay her rent, and nothing you can do is going to change that.
5 of 6: If you want to solve this peacefully, your best option is to help her out.
6 of 6: Go to the mayor and agree to pay off her rent.
