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?

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 =]
