Money, Landlords and Roommate: Insane rules

Insane rules

By Anonymous - 24/04/2024 15:00 - United States

Today, one of my roommates blew a fuse by running a personal heater on full overnight. I notified our landlady that I had to get a new fuse; she came over to pay me for it. Only as I heard landlady's horn did I see another roommate's girlfriend's car; she stayed overnight and isn't allowed to. Both roomies got evicted and blamed me. FML

Today, my roommate wants to kick me out because I can't afford to pay my share of the rent this month. I couldn't afford to, because I had to pay for repairs to my car after my roommate got drunk, stole my keys, and crashed it into a street light. FML

Today, I told my roommate she had to pay $55 to replace a piece of the oven she broke. She told me I was being selfish and decided to illegally break our lease because I was, "making her feel unsafe." Now I not only have to pay for the oven repair, I also have to pay her next two month's rent. FML

Today, I left my window open while practicing the saxophone. My drunk neighbours showed their appreciation for the music with a well-aimed firecracker that set my mattress on fire. My landlord has threatened to evict me as she thinks I set it off. FML

Today, my roommate is being evicted. Since we had some very good memories together, I was sad to come home and see all of her stuff gone...and half of my stuff, too. FML

Today, I found out my roommate has been cheating me out of hundreds of dollars when I finally obtained records of the past year's electric bills, which are in her name. FML

Today, I came home to found all of my belongings out on the street. My roommate, who is also my brother, apparantly neglected to pay his part of the rent, and we got evicted. FML

Today, my roommate found an eviction notice on our door for unpaid rent. Our apartment building caught fire and we haven't been living there for well over a month because it was legally unlivable. Today was our first day back. FML

who would ever want to live in a place where they have less freedom than living with your mom?

Reimbursement for a replacement fuse seems hardly worth calling the landlord for… OP, it wasn’t your fault you roomies were evicted, but…

You could've warned them that the landlord was on her way. But if the landlord didn't visit at 7am, the gf had time to claim she just got there. and people are evicted for blowing the fuse? was this a part of a series of other offenses or did 1st roomie do something else? why didnt all 3 of you get evicted??? I think chairman Mao allowed people to do more than your landlord.

Well good luck to your land lady because the eviction process at least in the US must be served by the courts and usually requires a minimum 30 days to be enforceable. She could get the hell sued out of her.
