Today, all of my roommates handed in their vacating notice unexpectedly. They are all moving to a new house together in two weeks, leaving me to be either homeless or forced to pay 4 times what I was paying in rent. FML

Should I Stay or Should I Go?

Today, after my housemate handed in his notice to vacate without telling me beforehand, I had few days whilst working to make a decision to stay or vacate. In a panic, I chose vacate. On my day off I sat down with my finances and discovered I can't afford elsewhere. I asked to stay, my landlord put up rent by 50%. I might now become homeless. FML

Today, my roommate served me with a two-week’s notice to vacate the apartment, the day before I leave for 10 days of working in a completely different city 150 miles away. 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 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 was informed that my flatmate had not handed his documents in to the new landlord like he'd told me. We are due to move to a new area tomorrow for the new job that I start in 4 days. Now we can't move for another week. Anyone have a spare couch? FML

Today, I was finally starting to relax after a stressful and expensive move, where I had to give up half my belongings and furniture, as well as my cat. All the stress came rushing back as my new landlord told me that he's selling the building and I've got 30 days to vacate. FML

Today, my roommates told me they want me to move out of our apartment. We would have never gotten the apartment without my credit score, and most of the furniture is mine. FML

Today, my roommate of a year and good friend of several more decided to move out. When I came home from a long work shift, I found all the cupboards emptied out of everything, including all the new stuff I bought to replace what she was going to take with her. FML

Today, the lease on my house ended and I finished moving in with my girlfriend. After everything was moved in, she broke up with me. Hello homelessness. FML

Wow, either they are the biggest assholes, or you have been a really shitty roommate. Even so, they could have at least given you an earlier notice than that.

Come on, you can't be this callous and still have fun on this website. Go get an account on tumblr or whatever.

All I can say is don't try to find new roommates on Craigslist.... Never works out

It can work out. I found a great roommate on Craigslist who lived with me for a year and through her I met my second roommate who has been with me the past year and will stay with me for at least another. You just have to ward off the creeps and spammers, and through perseverance can find the right person to be your roommate.

Yeah.... I don't think OP has time to sort through the weirdo's

I've found a new household on Craigslist 3 times, each within a few days. I've brought aboard new roommates twice, each within a couple days (I've had great longevity at each of these places and roommates, at least a year each). There are always other people just as desperate, if not more so, than OP. Craigslist is a fine resource. I've also gotten 3 jobs using it, the last of which I've happily been at for almost 4 years now.

I have the feeling they did it deliberately because they were afraid of Op's reactions

Short end of the stick or mutual agreement on leaving because of you determines whether or not this is an FYL or YDI...

You could ask if you could move in with them, if not then good luck finding new roommates.

I'm pretty sure if they're all moving away together from OP, they don't want to live with him/her anymore. But if they don't want to live with OP then I feel like OP did something to make them not want to stay.
