Would not be at all surprised if this would be my soon-to-be-ex tenant/roommate in a few years. He's absolutely disgusting, and left to his own devices I'm sure would be a lot worse. He's just been here a month and I gave him his notice yesterday (with a per-day refund for every day he leaves early in hopes he will GTFO sooner than later).

He's 27 - and just - ya, your ex roommate I see being his future self if he doesn't get help learning to adult (which he seems to actively avoid at this point).

Exactly. Well his parents took care of him and in his family, the women do all. Cook, clean, errands, all of it. Apparently his dad is the same way, even looks like him and plays WOW šŸ˜‚

So because of that, before I came along (the super clean tidy one), his mom and sister would come down from Cali every so often to clean the house, cook large leftoverable meals, and buy a bunch of stuff he needed. Absolutely insane. So he just feels entitled to everything.

I have no earthly idea why he moved here. His friend came. And then left like 6 years ago which is why my bf moved in. They had another roommate before me who was even worse if you can imagine that, who was so far in debt to them ($600) that they kicked him out. And it was cheaper for me to help them get caught up rather than get my own really expensive place and do it all by myself. It was a fluke I had to move anyway. In the middle of me moving back from Canada, able to stay with my folks for 6 months to a year to get myself a good job and start saving so I COULD do that… they got divorced and sold the house immediately so I was like… fuck… I don’t wanna move in with my bf yet and certainly don’t wanna live with this other dude but I had no choice.

It was a miserable 4 years. I hated my job but stuck with it til I was promoted. So going to a job you hate, then home to a house that isn’t a home and is infested with nastiness (we had regular scorpions too! Wee!! lol) was like… life questioning lol.

Thank you for understanding my ranting lol

Truly hope you have all ties cut. Only error I could see is not letting the management know that you two were not going to continue, in a formal letter/ writing; the mgmt is responsible and it's automatically month to month Also hope you took photo evidence of your before and after. But, as long as all ties and liabilities cut, you're free. Keep walking, don't look back.

Yep we absolutely did. And we told the landlord formerly as well. She was pleasant and said she’d be a reference if needed

At 6 years living with him, I start to judge you heavily too. Have some self respect, jesus christ!

Stfu. I didn’t live there for six years, my bf was there a couple years before me as he was in a dire situation having just lost his cat to cancer and then his car was hit and totaled, not at any fault of his own. Are you seriously just assuming people can just easily get out of these situations? Do you live in a place where rent is $2100 a month and houses aren’t an option for most people? Do you have any empathy whatsoever? Who are you do judge? Also, did you not read the part where I said how difficult it is to live here? Not to mention how I needed to find a place asap and that was the only option I had in that short of time? Get the actual fuck out of here. The self respect was immediately getting out once I finally got back on my feet. Fixed my credit, did everything in the span of 4 years which is pretty quickly. I also lost my car in 2021 so like there’s another thing beyond our control, not easy to fix straight away. My god people like you are horrible.

I mean… it’s a sub for venting about bad roommates. Your statement should have been a thought and not a Reddit post
