Today, I found out that my best friend is being sacked. He's also about to rent a new apartment which he won't be able to afford when he loses his job. I can't warn him or I'll breach confidentiality and lose my job as well. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my best friend was fired from the place we both work at because she's a bad employee. After they fired her she said, "If I go, I'm taking my best friend with me." So they fired me too. I actually liked that job. FML
Today, upon applying for a new job to leave my old crappy job I was informed by my new potential employer that he was unable to hire me because he is friends with my current boss. FML
Today, I found out that a coworker and I may get laid off soon, all because my boss's niece told him she can do both our jobs all by herself, and for less money. FML
Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML
Today, I found out that my girlfriend has been cheating on me. I also found out that my best friend knew about it all along. When I confronted him, he tried to justify the betrayal by saying that she paid him to keep quiet. FML
Today, after moving in with a friend I've known for 9 years, I found out he's going to jail soon, and refuses to work or get a new job, making me unable to pay rent as he eats all my food. FML
Today, I found out that after three years of telling my boss our strategy wasn't going to work, that I was right - it didn't work. I also found out that because it didn't work, I lost my job. My boss still has his. FML
Today, I found out my best friend has been stealing hundreds of dollars from me and my fiancé. My wedding is tomorrow morning. Guess who my best man is. FML
Today, after finally getting a job offer after months of unemployment, I found out that the person who was going to hire me got fired. Which means I'm not getting the job. FML
Today, it's been five days since I started my new job in a new town, and just signed the lease on my new apartment too. Now I find out the company's closing down, and since I'm still on probation, I'm told I'm not entitled to any kind of severance. FML

Try your hardest to talk him out of the apartment maybe offer to let him move in with you.

I'm sorry but if that happened to my best friend I would tell them and if they won't be able to afford it they can crash at my house some way some how till they get back on their feet

Can your friend not keep a secret, if it's going to happen anyway, he may as well be on his feet when it does and not owing a shit load of money

A true friend knows what to do

Not so subtly tell him you think it's a VERY bad idea to sign his renters contract.

Call his bank and tell them to call his work? Maybe his employer can let them know so he is no longer approved for the loan?

Tell him not to rent the apartment. Don't give a reason just tell him to trust you if you're that good of friends, or better yet, if you're best friends why are you worried about telling him to begin with? You should have faith in your friend.

Just tell him that your not supposed to tell him so he has to keep it a secret, because he is helping you so he won't rat you out if you tell him

OP, I think you already feel what you want to do. You seem like a good man to have this conflict in you. I won't tell you what to do, but just consider carefully the effects of telling vs not telling him. He trusts you. Do you trust him not to give the secret away? It's ok if he guesses, right?
