You own an unoccupied property. You are contacted by a refugee group, which desperately needs somewhere to house a person-seeking asylum who is being unjustly persecuted in a foreign country. Your anonymity is assured. You have every reason to believe that no harm will come to your property. Are you morally obliged to allow them to use your property?

Well it depends on how nice they are and if they get a job and pay you to stay depending on how much rooms they need the they can stay as visitors until they buy a house to stay in.

Morality is taught by experiences and the people around you. Some people who hold prejudice against immigrants and refugees may believe it is against their morality to bring these people into their country. However, that is not the case with me. If I have land that I can use, I will help the refugees because I believe that it is wrong to ignore calls for help when you easily are able to change their lives. My morals were influenced by a family who is always giving, therefore, it would be wrong to go against that.
