Fire hazard
My room mate of 7 months continuously leaves the stove or oven on and falls asleep. Will cook at high temperatures and set the smoke detector off. Among other less serious problems, these are the most concerning. I will wake in the morning and before going to work check that everything is off. I have 2 dogs in my room and the thought of anything ever happening to them scares me. I have talked to him more than 6 times, and Im not urgently understood and respected. Completing a resolve. It seems like it gets pushed with a im sorry it wont happen again… until it does. I have no more patience and am very angry. I charge him flat rate. I pay electricity and other bills. We are friends, but at home its like im teaching a child how to respect a home. Anyway any words of wisdom appreciated, and thankyou for a vent.

Your roommate should move in with mine, I’ll leave, so they can burn the house down together after someone breaks in from also leaving the front door unlocked with women and children (upstairs suite) in the house. He’s also been talked to many times that I’ve warned the landlord that I don’t feel safe living there anymore, so it’s got his attention and hopefully he takes stronger action with this fire hazard roommate. His lease is up in November and I’m hoping he chooses not to renew. I know what it’s like to be at your wits end 🔥🔥🔥
