Woman sublets her room but insists on sleeping on shared couch 2x per week, doesn’t run it by roommate: ‘What does the landlord think of all this?’

We heard you liked sublets so we subleased your sublet. This is one of the realities of modern renting, especially in a big city with a competitive market. It’s also especially popular with students, who might only need a room for a couple of months at a time. It can be a wonderful thing. If …

Married couple asks their 30-year-old roommate to leave the apartment for a week so they can have a «staycation» while their kid is at his grandparents: ‘They want me to stay at their parent’s house’

Most people have roommates during a very particular time in their lives. College students have to share a room with a complete stranger in their first year. This person will either be their future best friend, a fatal enemy, or a distant memory. In later collegiate years, having roommates not only makes your off-campus apartment …

Having roommates is pretty easy when you’re young and single. Everyone has a rotten apple in the bunch, but designing your life around sharing living spaces with one or more other adults is not that hard in most cases.

‘We don’t have a signed agreement since we’re friends’: Inconsiderate roommate lets her family of 4 stay in homeowners house for 3 weeks, refuses to pay utilities like he asked

I have lived with friends for 3.5 years of my life. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a great way of living with roommates and far superior to shacking up with a bunch of randos. When you live with people you know and love, you feel responsible for ensuring their living space is a happy, …

Student athlete sleeps through her constant morning alarms from 4:30 AM to 8:30 AM, wakes her roommate and misses practice every day: ‘I have to scream her name until she finally gets up and turns it off’

American college students are put in the unusual predicament of staying in the same room as their roommates. In most cases of the word, roommate doesn’t mean that you’re sleeping in the same room, but unless you have a unique circumstance, you’re likely going to be sleeping next to a complete stranger for your first …

‘I’m not your safety net’: 26-year-old mooch begs her roommate to use their emergency savings fund to pay for rent after spending her money on a ‘weekend getaway,’ frugal friend refuses

Living with someone is the quickest way to see their true colors. With their guard down, Q-tips scattered on the floor, their dishes undone, and the bedroom door left ajar, there’s no room for secrets when you share an abode. However, when you move in with your best friend, the unlikeliest character reveals can often …

28-year-old boyfriend keeps stealing his girlfriend’s roommates food, girlfriend refuses to tell him to stop even after roommate insists: ‘He’s just comfortable here, it’s not a big deal’

There are so many different arrangements you can make with your roommates regarding food. When I was in college, I lived with my four best friends, and we bought and shared all of our food equally. It was such a low-stress way of living, but sometimes you chose to sacrifice getting something you wanted from …

Careless roommate leaves moldy food and moldy rice cooker in the kitchen for weeks, scolds her roommate for throwing her moldly things away after she already left for Christmas break: ‘She complained I was disrespecting her space’

When you live with other people, you often have to ask yourself, «How much responsibility should I take for their mess?» Some people think that they should only clean up after themselves and that doing any dishes more than what they dirty is an affront to their personal liberty. In my opinion, most households only …

Controlling European roommate tells roommate not to use the oven because the electricity costs too much despite the electricity costing €20.37 a month split between 3 people: ‘I was using the oven for exactly 10 minutes’

Sometimes, the controlling roommate is right. I really don’t like telling my roommates what to do or vice versa, but if the monthly AC bill is $400 for a small apartment, that’s worth discussing. Regarding bills, chores, and the general atmosphere, it’s the responsibility of all roommates to contribute positively instead of taking advantage of …

Malicious roommate throws away 20-year-old single mom’s baby formula for her newborn because she thinks she should be breastfeeding instead: ‘She pointed to the trash can and I opened it up and saw the powder’

There is so much pointless discourse about the difference between breastfeeding and formula-feeding your baby. It seems pointless to me because how you feed your baby doesn’t have much impact on whether they grow up to be a doctor or a serial killer. It’s true that breastfed babies get different nutrients and bond with their …
