Room Mate - Give Me Options

[Ace-Ace]

Okay, so this apartment situation...I've been in it for around 8 months. I moved out at the last moment (before school started) cause I thought it sounded like a good idea, and someone was looking for a room mate - friend of mine for about 6 months at the time). After 5 other people rejecting him, he decided to 'settle' for me.

After 8 months of bickering and bitching, he's still having people over here EVERY SINGLE NIGHT smoking pot and hanging out. I have a girlfriend, I'm paying for half this aparment, and I own 95% of the things in it (microwave, washer/dryer, DVD player, receiver, 53" TV, blah blah blah). These people refuse to leave because it's "his place too" and he can do as he pleases.

What in the fuck should I do? What do you recommend...

[High Quality]

stick a black dildo in his ass while he sleeps.

That or lace his pot with something fierce.

That'll teach the fucker.

[Tala]

It's his aprtment too, but it's completely your stuff. Move out. find a decent roommate, and get your own place.

Yah, I respect it's his...which is why I wouldn't even mind people over, 3, 4, 5, 6 'nights' a week. With the current situation, they're over 7 days a week, ranging anywhere from 4 to 12 hours a day.

I already informed them to not touch any of my stuff again, including my couch, TV, and all the shit I mentioned. I guess I will move out and find a new place. It's sad they've had the disrespect to go this far, as far as to force me out of my own apartment.

kick him out and make your bitch pay half the rent

[Muff]

Is it your place or did you rent from him? If it is yours kick him the fuck out!

We rented together...I pay the bills, he writes me a check for half the rent. Went into this cooperatively (little did I know what I was in store for).

I don't even mind paying the full rent, money isn't the issue...but what real justification do I have for "kicking him out". What I've done is told him not to touch any of my shit (95% of this place). So hopefully that's enough incentive for him to get the hell out.

[jake2000xp]

Go to the surlplus store, buy some miltary gear. Come home in uniform, armed.

Then tell him and his friends the have 72 hours to "flee the apartment" into exile or face military action.

[WiredGuy]

Really want him out? Tip off the cops when he's smoking the weed. Hide your stash if you have some before they arrive. We'll see how long he wants to live with you then.

Yep, that's exactly what I'm doing. I used to do some drugs (shrooms, pot) only beacuse of them (the whole shit your parents tell you "Choose your friends wisely" is very true). They've said "We've done nothing wrong". So I just said "Okay, if you've done nothing wrong, your parents wouldn't mind being informed about this situation, right?"

One guy said "Eh, mine already know, so whatever." I said "Well if they don't want to help me in my little predicament here, I'm sure the Fairborn City Police will be more than happy to help."

Just a few seconds ago, he said "Fine, I'll never set foot in your apartment again."

[vapewiz]

If you got the money just move out and save yourself the trouble. Let him keep getting stoned with his friends that are just using him and you'll be happy you did it.... it sucks but its the best and easiest solution.

Defiantly better then the alternative of being there when the cops come the time YOU don't call them you getting busted for just being there.... and putting up with his bullshit until that happens... sorry to sound like your mom but bad roommates suck and will just get you caught up in their bullshit if you stick around with it long enough. I know all to well from experience.

[MaxDent]

I'm in the same situation.

If there is another problem I'm just going to take all the 'community property' which is mine and put it in my room, end of story.

Or move. I'll probably move too.

[Theo]

move to a shelter

[DarkJedi]

Put his shit (5%) outside the door and change the locks.
He'll get the hint.

[Pornwolf]

Grow some balls and commence to whooping ass. Warn them one good time. It sounds like they are looking at you and laughing behind your back calling you a stiff dweeb. You can only talk so much. If they sense you are all talk and are no real threat nothing will change.


Or...


Just start pinching his stash. He will get tired of that and move. Nothing is worse to a pothead than a roomate who pinches his stash.

[Pipecrew]

Fuck dude, I've bitched many times before on GFY, I know the exact situation.. It seems like people are fucking squatters in this world, Its like they werent born with that gene that informs them they are being ignorant or outstaying there welcome.......

We have 4 people (paying) living at my place right now, I dont think there has ever been a single time we have had under 8 living here, this shit happens atleast 6 days a week, they never fucking go home.. When i freak out, they make me look like the bad guy..

So I decided to fuck em, I got a real estate agent and have been looking for places the last week, I am gonna jump ship, take ALL my shit that they rely on daily and get the fuck out of here!

[Herb Kornfield]

Whos name is on the lease?

IF just you, he has no rights to be there....

I've had 4 lodgers in my house over the past few years - never again. The lasses were the worst too - one of them bitched at me for coming home after working away for 9 months because she didn't feel comfortable with me around!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get your own space chap and keep it yours.

[Scully0325]

if his name is on the lease with yours..not much you can do - if not, change the locks

[B40]

I have 8:30 class every day this semester, and my roomie who is above my room is always up every day till 2-3 at least...

I can hear him talking and shit and smoking....rolling around in his chair...

Funny cause in 1st year he used to bitch about his roomie smoking in the house, but now that he's started to smoke, I guess there's no problem with him smoking in the house when the other 4 guys are all non smokers..

There's better ways to go about with this....after all he knows where you live

[tony286]

I think if you can afford it, leave alone. Most roomates I had sucked. They would have loud parties during the week when I had to get up 5am for work. Another one who I was paying the rent to him and then he informed me we have to move out because he hadnt been paying the rent for six months and we were getting evicted. I lived for a while in a 200 sq ft apt in NYC with the bathroom down the hall and I was happier there ,then when I lived in a three bedroom high rise on broadway with roomates. lol Also I forgot you cant just throw him out if he is getting mail there you have to evict him or he can sue you. Look up on the net what the laws are in your state.
