I’m really asking what should i do. I’m so upset, so I’ll describe the circumstances and hopefully somebody can help. My roommate’s (who has her own room) puppy has parvo. My dog is about a year and a half and had his last parvo vaccine 4 months ago. she keeps her puppy in her room most of the time, only taking him out to the bathroom twice a day. then, he walks through the apartment. She has only sanitized his crate and some of his toys. I don’t think she is taking this seriously enough. she isn’t cleaning up his stool and she hasn’t bleached anything in the apartment. I cleaned the bathroom and kitchen with bleach solution- the rest of the apartment is carpeted. I stayed in a hotel for 2 nights, after coming home from spring break, because she hadn’t cleaned. I hate how she treats me and her dogs, but I know it is up to me to make sure this is a safe place to live for me, my dog, and the other dogs in the apartment complex. Is my dog in danger of contamination? how can i sanitize the carpets?

I just came up with this plot so I now it might be a little rough. Just tell me what you think, be honest but not rude.

The sun was falling out of the orange sky into the blood red sea. Water danced and mirrored the sun, blinding anyone who looked straight at it. Sweat trickled down Dylan’s face and spine, moving boxes into his new dorm was hard work. College officially starts in a week but now is the time to move in and start a new life.

“Is that the last box?” Mark, Dylan’s roommate, pointed to the cardboard box labeled “books”.

“Yes, I believe so.” Dylan replied as he took his box into the building.

“Of course you leave me the heaviest box.” Mark muttered under his breathe. He bent down to pick up the box and took it inside with a lot of huffing and puffing.

Mark dropped the box in front of the dorm’s doorway and kicked it into the room, next to all the other stuff. He then flopped down on a bean bag chair and moaned like he was dying.

“If you were going to act like a big baby I would have brought that damn box in myself.” Dylan said as he stepped away from the only window in the dorm. He put his hands on his hips and tried to picture were they were going to put all their crap.

“Man, I think we brought too much sh*t.” Mark stated, looking around the room but not making a move to get up.

“You can say that again…… Well, we can either unpack now and eat later or eat now and unpack later. Which sounds better to you?”

“Dinner, no doubt. My stomach is going to turn on itself any second.” Mark said and jumped up from the red bean bag chair. He laced his fingers over his stomach and leaned forward acting like he hadn’t eaten in days.

“Ok, stop the dramatics and you’re buying.” Dylan walked out and Mark followed with a smirk on his face, he loves getting under people’s skin.

Blue Moon Bar and Grill was packed. New and old students bleed together, creating a mess of bodies. Laughter hovered in the air, music from the speakers overhead were whispers in the wind compared to the chatter.

During the chaos and the push into the glass doors Dylan and Mark separated. Dylan got on his tip-toes glancing over each head determined to find his friend, but Mark was one in many that had short brown hair. Mark became the needle in the titanic sized hay stack.

“Over here! Dylan, over here man!” Mark shouted using his hands to project his voice through the noise surrounding them.

Dylan spotted him at the bar; he was sitting on one stool and had a lean tanned leg on the stool to his right. Mark was waving his arms around high above his head with such speed. He could have landed a plane in the middle of the bar with those moves.

Dylan dove into the crowd, he was pushed, stepped on, and yelled at but he made it to the bar. “I need a drink, now,” was all he said when he sat down.

Mark nodded his head and shouted to the bar tender, “two shots over here!” Moments later two shot glasses slide down the bar to them. The amber liquid was topped with white foam. They clicked their glasses together yelling, “Freedom!” at the same time. The whiskey was bitter and warm but it hit the spot.

Dylan relaxed a little after his second shot. Letting the liquor take over his body. He scanned the many faces in the bar trying to see if he knew anyone. All the faces were strangers; everyone was laughing, yelling, kissing, or texting. He rescanned the room and his eyes locked on one person. He didn’t know her but he wanted to.

details: live together in house for 2 years.
She cannot possibly make the payment on her own.
Only her name is on it so i could just go but i feel bad doing that
I also feel really bad leaving her 7 year old daughter.
Also when we bought the house i put up 3000 of my own money for downpay and payed half the payment every month. I dont think i would ever see that. I also bought just about everything in the house. Do i take the couchs, tvs, kitchen table, microwave, beds, patiio furniture, bbqpit, lawnmower, ect….?
she would only be left with one bed for her and daughter and a little tv.
the big issue is i know even a roommate would not work because she needs about 00 month from someone to make it work (i did the math)
I love her so much but i can tell she doesn’t love me anymore and has a plan to cheat on me (saw in email).
So staying with someone who wont let me touch her anymore and does nothing but bitch at me is out of the question. I posted up some issues we had on YA in the last couple days and everyone agrees to dump her ass. But what about her kid? what about the house? Should i wait till she actually goes thru with the cheating she is planning with this guy when he gets back in town in 10 days? Why do i feel so bad leaving her?

My boyfriend and I live in a 3/3 with two male roommates. I had looked around for about 4 months to find the perfect place at the perfect price. Currently we are paying 8/month. One roommate is constantly downloading stuff so the internet is always running slow, yet he denies d/l even though if I disconnect his computer from the network, it works just fine. The other roommate is just an immature, ungrateful guy who suddenly decided he wanted us to start splitting utilities in quarters instead of thirds. This may sound unreasonable on OUR part, but he knew coming into it that it would be split this way and in exchange he uses all our living/dining furniture along with our kitchen appliances, silverware, dishes, etc. He also said he would get a grill if we bought a microwave and we have had a microwave for 4 months and he has yet to make any contribution at all to the shared items. My boyfriend wants to sublease the place and get ourselves a one bedroom, but this place is everything we wanted (minus the roommate issues) and we would end up spending around 0+ appose to 0 (MAX). What should we do? Any suggestions?

Last night my roommate had about 6 of his friends over drinking under age and what not. On all MY furniture, using all my kitchen stuff, and my hookah. I woke up and my house was TRASHED. About 3 bags of garbage on the floor, two or three empty boxes of beer, food all over the kitchen, my dining room table moved to the living room with beer cans piled up on it. chairs knocked over, two guys sleeping on my couch. Then I go outside to find my scooter (parked in front of the house) was knocked over and had a good amount of damage. It’s only THREE months old! I’m sooooo pissed! I filed a police report, but they said there’s pretty much nothing else that can be done. It had to be one of the 6 people over since there was a beer can near the scooter and everything! There has to be SOMETHING I can do! Help!
I can’t kick him out, he’s on the lease. I am moving out in 12 days though. I just wish I could do something about my brand new scooter that is not damaged

I am moving out, but won’t be out for 2 more weeks. Long story short, I have an inconsiderate, disrespectful roommate and about a month and a half ago asked him to leave or else I would. This past Saturday he had a party and the next morning I found my scooter pushed over. The scooter is about 3 months old and was in perfect condition and while it’s just a scooter, still cost me over a grand. I confronted my roommate and he said he had nothing to do with it, it’s not his problem, and is disrespectful to me. So I call the police, fill out the report, and he won’t cooperate at all.

So now, legally, he’s safe. Later the same day I ask him if he’s going to fix the few things inside the apartment that got broken at the party and he agrees. Then I ask about my scooter and he says that it is outside and not his responsibility, if it was one of his guests, they can pay for the damages, if they want. At that point I tell him that he is no longer welcome to any of my possessions in the common area (I own most of the furniture and kitchen stuff) because he has no respect for my stuff. He replies with, "We’ll see."

I ended the conversation at that point because I didn’t want to lose my temper. How can I deal with this? Can I legally do anything if he continues to use my stuff without permission? I don’t want to get into any legal trouble myself but what can I do to protect my possessions?

My Roommate has IBS (Irritable Bowl Syndrome). He’s a nice guy, but often when we have guests he can be in the kitchen and his light tan khaki pants may turn dark brown in the back. The smell pervades the room, he becomes embarrassed, and we usually don’t see him again until the company leaves.

I have paid for most of the furniture in the house and he stains it often. What do I do? A part of me wants to tell him I can’t abide with his problem any longer- it is hard to live with- and ask him to move. Any suggestions? His name is Joe.

I am moving in a couple of months with a roommate to louisiana
He is saving up for the trip and security(3months rent)
And I was going to buy the furniture(bedroom set, sofa, tv stand, kitchen table & chairs and maybe a living room table)
I am probably going to save up around 4,000 to 5,000 and was planning on getting the furniture from bob’s discount store. I have a mattress from them already. But now I am reading reviews and only a few people are happy with their products.

All of the furniture from them comes out to bout 4,000 but I don’t want to spend it… if its going to break within a couple of months especially there is no bob’s discount store in louisiana so i would have to probably throw it away… anyone know if i should still get it or know of another store where i can spend that kind of money for good furniture

I will be moving from California to New York City when I’m 18. I’ve had no job experience. I’m not going to college but I will be attending Makeup Designory School (MUD). How much money should I save up? And How much do you think I’ll pay?

Here is what I have so far:
Rent – 0 for a one bedroom or 00 for a 2 (0 with a roommate) per month
School – ,200 (not sure about payment yet)
Gas –
Electricity – -0
Cable/Internet – 5
Phone – 0
Food/general household items – 0
Transportation – 30 – Day Unlimited Ride MetroCard
Furniture – 0-00 (basic stuff to start out with; bed, some kitchen appliances, desk/chair, etc)
Water –
Sewer –
Laundry –
Entertainment –

I’m not sure about other utilities such as water and sewer.
What else am I missing and approx how much are they?
Also when would be a good time to work? I can take either day classes (8am-5pm) or night classes (6pm – 10pm).
I’ll probably be working on minimum wage like at Starbucks or Barnes and Noble. I really want to work at MAC Cosmetics but I need something that is flexible.

Please give detailed answers!!
Thanks
There are no dorms. This is what I just figured on what people have told me. I’m not expecting to pay. I just want to know average on everything.

I moved in with a friend and co-worker 10/08. At the time of move in a contract was not written nor was it ever written during my time there. The verbal agreement at time of move in was that I would pay 1/3 of the monthly rent on the 10th of each month and 1/3 of the bills, nothing was spoken about giving a 30 day notice to her if I chose to leave. Due to recent events I have moved due to me not feeling safe in the home anymore. My roommate would not give me a house key as she never locked the door, she would bring home random guys from the bar, she has done illiegal drugs in the home that we shared, and she never cleaned (none of which I knew upon move in). Upon leaving there was dog poop in her room and vomit on her bed that has been there for weeks, in addition to that the basment smelled like cat pee as her cat is no longer using the litterbox as my roommate never cleans it, that doesn’t even to begin to describ how disgusting this house is. Her dog also had bloody diaherria on my bedroom furniture that I had to clean as she was out drinking, another one of her dogs ate ALL my dogs very expensive food and ruined the container that I kept the food in which she never replaced like she said she would, and she evicted my small dog due to her large banned breeded dog attacking her and she would not help with any of the medical bills (were not much as I work as a vet clinic but money still came out of my pocket). My parents convinced me yesterday to move out today. Today I moved out without telling her as she was out drinking the night before and did not come home therefore I was not able to infom her about me moving out the next day. Before I left I cleaned the room spotless. When my roommate got home she was very upset and called me while I was on my way to my parents home to unload my belongins from my car. She was very hostel on the phone and I informed her that I am giving her a 11 day notice that I was leaving. Even though I am no longer living there I am going to allow her to keep the remaining 11 day rent (approx 5) for bills that I may owe. My roommate is now threating to take me to small clams court even though there is no documentation about an agreement. I also recieved a text message from her informing me that if I went around telling everyone at work that she is doing drugs she would also sue me for slander, which I would not do as my work is a place of business not a high school. Please leave any legit referances as this will most likley go to court.

The apartment is 2 bed, 2 bath carpeted apartment. Stove, refrigerator, washer, dryer, dishwasher are already there. I already have a bed, mattress, drawers, night stand, sheets, towels and some other things. (not really concerned with my roommate’s furniture situation) Basically what we need are furnishings for living room, dining area, and kitchen. We don’t have any TV’s or major furniture. So what would be the best way to go about furnishing and what should our budget look like?

We are on rental contract with landlord. Roommate is only mentioned as name and age of other persons living in household. We only have verbal agreement with him that he pay 1/2 of rent/month, 1/3 of electric. We helped him out and covered his first month of rent. He has his own bedroom, use of washer, dryer, kitchen, etc. I assumed he would be responsible enough to help buy food or give so much towards food or just have courtesy to say he appreciates our help feeding him and will help best he can. But no. He hasn’t bought more than in 6 mths. All the furniture in his room was ours except computer desk, computer, TV and clothes. He won’t help with house cleaning, does dishes only when every dish and silverware is dirty and I bitch at him. He hasn’t caught up. Behind by month’s rent, the electric and is not being a team member at all. If I want to tell him to go, what steps should I take to properly evict him? There are no written contracts between us. Live in Oregon.

So my roommate let her friend stay at our apartment because he works at the local bar here on the wkends. She gave him her key since she would be gone. Well this morning I got up for work and went down stairs to make breakfast and get ready to leave. Unfortunately when I stepped down the stairs I got an eyeful of my roommate’s friend having sex with some girl on our futon! I didn’t even know what to do because I needed to leave for work. (You have to walk through the living room to get out of the apt.) So I tried to make a lot of noise upstairs so that they would know I was there or whatever, and they finally stopped.

I just think its extremely rude to have sex on someone else’s furniture. They didn’t lay down a towel or a blanket or anything. It also created a pretty awkward situation for me, and I didn’t get to eat breakfast so I was ticked! lol I understand its human nature, but I thought this was just plain rude. What do you think? Should I say anything to my roomie when she gets back?

Well my boyfriend visits me once a month and always spends the weekend. Naturally, we get "intimate" with each other while he is here. I live in a 4 bedroom apartment and we all have our own rooms (2 on each side of the place). I try my absolute hardest to be as quiet as possible when they are home because I know that it would be both awkward for me and them. I turn on the tv pretty loud and we try so hard to make sure the bed doesn’t make noises. The roommate that lives on the same side as me does not like me whatsoever. I have tried so hard to act nicely towards her, but she has an angry temper and has even knocked over the barstools in her anger. I do my best to tell her days beforehand when my boyfriend plans on visiting, but she still has a problem that he comes. (I pay the same rent she does and we either stay locked in my bedroom or go out). We try our best to stay out of sight. I am always nervous because she has my moms cell number.. I dont know how to handle this. Any advice?
Naturally my parents do not know that he comes to see me. Yes, we are old enough to be responsible for our own sex lives (so please, I would appreciate it if you didn’t submit answers telling me how horrible I am because we aren’t married. I am not looking for your religious insight.) Point is, we are old enough; however, my parents do not know that he comes to visit me, or that we are intimate with eachother. Which is why I am nervous that my soon to be ex-roommate has saved my moms number this whole year. Also, I am moving out and I would like for her to delete my moms number, as she should no longer need it. She is the kind of person who, months from now, even though we no longer live together, would call my mom out of spite and spill the beans about me and my bf. In addition to my previous question, any advice about how to ask her to delete my moms number would be greatly appreciated! Thanks =]
