    Angry My Roommate Must Die!!

    I am so sick and fucking tired of roommates. In the past year we have gone through a couple of cokeheads, a Mormon actress who wouldn't take paying jobs because they interfered with her unpaid acting, and now we're on a general flake. We've known him for years and were happy to have him move in, because he always seemed responsible and we know his family is loaded, so they'd have his back if anything happened. And he worked steadily, too.

    WRONG. WRONG. WRONG.

    The fucker has not paid his rent on time ONCE since he moved in last June. But at least he always had an excuse. He went home for Christmas to visit his wealthy family, and came back with some girl and we have only seen him once since. His voicemail box is full and he's not answering phone calls or texts.

    He owes me $750 now! I just want to lie around and cry now because I work 80 hours a week at a job I don't like, and then I go shake my naked ass around all weekend and during holidays, and it's all for fucking nothing. My phone bill, credit card payment, and vehicle registration are due this week and I don't have the money. A movie I worked on back in the spring is getting a huge release this weekend and I can't even go see it because I don't have the ten bucks. I don't even have anything to eat but generic chili. But I'm still covered in bruises and sore from working and dancing so I can pay HIS fucking bills!!!

    I swear, I would feel less violated if he stuck his dick in my ass. I can't believe people can treat other people this way. We can't throw him out either, because then we'll never see that money.

    He has a lot of expensive things in his room and he never comes home anymore. I'm seriously thinking about pawning his fancy tool kit, his pimped-out electric scooter, his DVD collection, and his furniture. Maybe then I can pay *my* fucking bills.

    ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!

    I would call the cops and see what you can do, then look at your lease statement (if he signed one) to see how you can get the stuff.
    Then, if the cops let you, I'd lock the door and window so he can't get his stuff, leave a messge to that effect saying it will be sold in two weeks, and if he doesn't come for it/give you the money--sell it.

    You know I had a problem with a roomate who wouldnt pay rent.

    If you are both on the lease you can give them a 3 day pay or quit notice. F-that mess. This is why I dont have roomates.

    I finally got to the point where instead of having roomates per se, I would just rent rooms... only my name on the lease...get a deposit from them and all that...

    Neither of us are on the lease. The lease is in my bf's name and his old roommate's (one of the cokeheads). They lived here for several years. I moved in last January, and this fuckwit moved in back in June.

    I doubt the LAPD would give a shit. Everyone in Los Angeles has roommates because you can't afford to live here without them, and most of them don't pay rent. If they spent any time on this, they wouldn't have any time to gun down black teenagers. The LAPD's gotta prioritize, you know.

    I just want to buy a little condo so I can build equity and not deal with this shit anymore, but I can't afford it in L.A. It's too expensive. My bf is responsible enough to pay HIS rent on time, so he and I are talking about getting a place, but it would still cost way more than here. And I can't live in the Valley because of my asthma, so I have to live in the city where it's even more expensive.

    I just feel like I'm on a hamster wheel. I do nothing but work, work, work, work, work, and I don't get to enjoy a single fucking penny of it. And I have nothing to show for it - no equity, and I owe $13,000 between my credit card and my car. And I'm not even paying that off because I wind up paying this asshole's bills for him so he can go to fucking VEGAS with his girlfriend!!! (I just found out that's where he's been!)

    It's a really good thing I'm not armed anymore, because I really want to kill him. I can't stop crying.

    Well, he doesn't have a lease...so why are you not kicking him out? Sell his shit...if he's got a problem with that, you've been trying to contact him for a month. He's never paid rent...he's not paying utilities...

    I've been there and it's not fun. The important part is getting him out and getting in someone who will pay the bills. And for future reference, never ever depend on someone's family to bail them out. Speaking of which, go talk with a lawyer and see if they will call his parents...send them a certified letter and tell them that he owes x amount of $$ for unpaid bills and rent. If it's not paid by x date, then you will proceed with your lawsuit against him and his parents (how old is this guy??). They will, at that point, not only be held liable for all unpaid monies, but also any and all lawyer and court costs. See what happens.

    We're going to kick him out, but we're trying to get some of that money first. I really need it.

    VenusGoddess, that's a great idea but I can't afford the lawyer and I don't know who his parents are. They could also afford a much better lawyer than me, if I could track them down. The guy is in his mid-thirties anyway; I don't think the courts could hold his parents liable.

    And the main reason I can't stop crying - once we do kick him out, it's just going to be another fuckwit who can't pay his rent. We've been through four in the past year. It's so expensive out here, I have to work two jobs just to make my own bills. Most people aren't willing to do that and rent is the first thing they flake out on, especially since they know they're not on the lease anyway and we're going to have to cover it for them so we don't get kicked out too. I'm tired of being fucked in the ass this way.

    very sorry this is happening to you! i hope you get the $$ from him. after you do, and before you kick him out, consider sprinkling a few of his clean unmentionables with itching powder. sweet revenge

    This is why I dont have roomies. I dont understand - where in LA are you living? There are places that arent sooo expensive. Are you in a house? Cant you and your bf get a 1bdrm apartment? There are parts of LA that are nice and if you look you can find nice 1 bdrm places for not much and just not have to deal with him.

    You should log everytime you call him. Call any friends of his and tell them that he has 2 weeks to get his stuff or it is going to be donated. Pack his stuff up and if he doesnt get it in 2 weeks just get rid of it... (minus what you keep/sell)

    Yef, I say pawn his shit off. But only after you try to contact him on last time.

    That way if he does try to get your for "theft", you have the phone logs to prove that you in fact did try to make contact. If nothing else take him to small claims court, and show them the phone records and such.

    You haven't said how your bf feels about this, so I will "assume" he feels the same way you do. That's even better since you will have another party in your claim to back up what you are accusing him of.

    It sucks, I know but hang in there and it will all get better! If nothing else; hit Adam up for the money. (He never likes to see one of us in need, lol!)

    After my last roommate experience, I swear on my great-grandmother's grave that I will never repeat it. Most of my roommates (4 of them) were in fact pretty responsible, but when everyone is living paycheck to paycheck, all it takes is one asshat not paying their share of the rent/phone/utility bill to ruin everything.

    Yek, I'm sure there are people in the same boat as you are. Why not kick this bum to the curb and search for another reponsible person so you both can benefit.

    We're in a 2 bedroom apartment, but my bf has lived here so long that the rent is the same as most 1 bedroom apartments in the area. I can't find a 1BR for less than $1000/month, and this place is $1200. There are some one-room studios and efficiencies for $700 or so, and it looks like we're going to have to suck up and move into one soon. I just wanted to stay here for a little longer so I could get a house or a condo and stop renting! I hate paying rent; I have nothing whatsoever to show for it and all I'm doing is making other people wealthy off it.

    There are some cheaper places in the Valley, but I can't breathe in the Valley with my asthma. The smog is much worse there and I have horrible asthma attacks whenever I'm there. (Please note that I never had an asthma attack in my entire LIFE until I moved here to L.A.)

    We've had other roommates before him and they didn't pay their rent either. We've got another guy lined up to move in soon, but I'm sure he'll flake out on us too. It's not that I mind kicking him out; I just want my damn money.

    I'm just so sick and fucking tired of living here in L.A. I'm so miserable here. All I do is run and run and run, but it's a treadmill. I never get anywhere. And I feel like shit all the time, and I have to work so much I have no life whatsoever of my own. I'm surviving, not living, and only just barely. I don't know how much longer I can do this.

    You know...you CAN write a lease that would be legally enforceable with anybody that you choose to live with you. Your boyfriend would be on the lease with the landlord, and he would, in effect, be the landlord to whoever moved in.

    Also, there is nothing wrong with getting first and last month's rent and a deposit from whomever is moving in. It won't cover everything, but it sure as hell would give you some wiggle room!!

    Take his ass on Judge Mathes and sue him! Or if not, try regular small claims court. He owes you money. You had an agreement. He broke it.

    Would it really be that hard for you and your boyfriend to just pay the rent and not have a roommate? I don't know what your day job is and how much you make dancing but I would think in LA it's possible to make enough between two people to pay for a $1200/month apartment but I could be very wrong about that if you have a lot of other bills. Maybe you could try to find a different day job that pays more or your bf could make more somehow. Anything has got to be better than having a shitty useless roommate!

    I understand about the Valley - I lived in Woodland Hills for a year.

    Im curious WHERE in LA you are... its a very big place. There are areas (other than the Valley) which arent super expensive. Studio isnt so bad... if youre wanting to buy the best thing would be to live in a studio ... somewhere super cheap and save save save for a down on a home... if you cant afford $1000 a month rent how are you going to afford a morgage? Esp in Los Angeles... itll be a lot more than $1000 a month even on a small condo...

    If your splitting the rent with your BF, $500 each for rent each month really doesn't seem like that much. Trust me the extra money is worth not putting up with roomies.

    If you havn't gotten money from him yet your not going to, sell his crap and move.... let him figure out what happen to it.

    I know. My bf says he'll pay me back the $750, but it sucks that it's even coming to that. I'm mainly just feeling hurt and violated. I swear I feel like this guy just made me suck his dick at gunpoint or something - THAT is what this feels like. He knows the situation and he's just ignoring us this way! I can't believe people can do this to each other.

    We're putting on a deadbolt lock tonight so he can't get in, and then we'll give him a couple of weeks to call us if he wants his stuff. If we don't hear from him, we'll sell it off then.

    This sounds to be a really great e-bay auction in the making. I know that your situation sucks, but you can list his stuff on ebay with the story that you just shared with us. You'll get a lot of people who have been there and will bid on his possessions in a suedo revenge on the injustice done to them.

    He can even check in and know that his stuff is still safely in place while the auction is going on it's merry course. When your winning bidders have paid his rent for him, then simply ship his stuff out and be done with it.

    I would start with small electronics like iPod's and psp's and the like as shipping expenses aren't very high, and those items can be easily misplaced by their owners .

    Humiliation works pretty good too. Call him at work and leave messages with his bosses that if he doesn't get his rent paid that he will be evicted. Nothing worse then getting a message like that from your boss!!

    Wow, good thing I'm a nice person with a very strong belief in karma, because I could be really evil if I put my mind to it!!
