How much rent should they pay?
So me and a very good friend of mine moved in to an apartment togather and since the beginning it was established that he didnt really know if he would be staying or not so i made the contract under my name and got a cosgner and covered the whole deposit by myself. we split the regular rent straight halfway. then his girlfriend moved in with us from out of town and when we talked about the rent he said we would go three way on the bills but the rent would remain half. from the beginning i didnt like the idea but i said ok cause he needs time for his gf to get a job or what not and he doesnt make that much money anyways. then she got here and i was already uneasy about it and what i feared happened. we dont have any furniture so we always used to chill in his room and i dont feel confortable chilling there anymore. then ifound out i might be leaving the country in 4 months and i asked him if he wanted to take over the apt instead of moving out and going thru the deposit and cosigner

circus again. he said not really because his gf doesnt like the area. i told him it would be convenient for him because i would start buying furniture and they could keep everything. he said no because he had told me from the beginning everything was iffy and he didnt know if he would be staying or leaving. its hard for us to chill at the

If they want to live there then get something in writing! In some states it takes at least a month to evict someone and a judge may consider you letting them live there as a gift. They may see themselves as 1 person but they are 2 and should each pay 1/3 of the rent and utilities. If they don't want to do that it isn't fair to you and you should ask them to sign something to document their plans to leave in 2 months.

If you're leaving the country for sure, just let him know. I assume the lease will let you out fairly easily?

You have no requirement to keep the lease if it's that unsure.

Just be upfront and say you're leaving and ending the lease. You'll find a place when you come back.

ok hunny,
first thing you have to do is relax and calm down because everything will get better trust me. Truely in my opinion i dont believe you are being unfair at all i think that he is being selfish for telling his gf she can live there without asking your permission and evern if you got suckered into it cause hes your friend and you feel bad for him you still need to stand your ground and show him that you both went into this thing as a partnership and he needs to pay both 3rd's of the rent since he took on the responsibility of bringing his gf to live there in the first place. I know you feel bad about asking so much from him but he made that choice and if you know he is good for the money then set up a payment plan like every week put 150 into the apartment or whatever payment would even out for the full payment. Now when you talk to him include his gf because thatll relieve some of the pressure and make her feel shes a member of the household(cause she is) and let them know in a nice and sensitive voice that you were sorry for getting so upset and that you just want to work everything out and then work out a payment plan with them that works for all of you...

Hope i helped hun ...good luck sweets

things always end up wrong because friends end up taking advantage of their friends. As soon as the g/f moved in, you should have told him they had one or two months to get situated, and that is if you wanted to be nice. It would piss me off to have someone else come in my house living for free and then say "i don't even like the area". I think your friend is really ungrateful and you should just stay there for the last month you will be there and not pay rent. And if you buy furniture to just end up leaving there, that will be a stupid move of urself. You really need to know what it is that YOU want to do and stop worrying so much about somebody who doesn't really care about you or take you into consideration.

Classic story happens all the time to roomies in early 20's. Things that are not agreed to generally become things that are disagreed on later. As a former college student 19 years ago i went thru this activity several times before getting a friend that i trusted to room with.
Roommates only work if you agree what happens when another opposite sex person comes into one persons life.
You had no agreement and because of it this other guy has decided to use you for your security deposit and has encroached on your space with his girl.
He is over the line but there isn't anything you can do besides move out. What I did when this happened to me I never came home except to sleep and then when it got unbearable war broke out. I never again went into leases with people I didn't trust or have agreed to what happens when boyfriend girlfriend stuff is part of arrangement. If this guy isn't on lease thats not good cause if he damages something you are liable. This is whats called being jointly and severally liable. The problem is he can damage the place and not have to worry about losing a deposit.
If its me and you are on a month to month lease you should terminate this asap if you can. If other living arrangements cannot be found I guess you just get everything you got into your bedroom and get a lock on the door. That is easy enough. Then you can get your furniture and put a nice lazy boy in your room and put the tv on the dresser and get a nice
night stand or fancy tv tray to eat on when you cozy up in your bedroom. I sure hope at least you have bedrooms or a bedroom. Well its yuor security deposit and if they dont wanna play ball by paying 2/3 the rent and utilities then I am leaving if its me. They eat up 2/3 the space so they can pay or go.
PS: I know this I would not pay last months rent since you may not get security deposit back with this joker being in your unit. The other thing is if they move to evict you it takes almost 30 days to evict. This way you got back the deposit whether they wanted to give it to you or not. As far as landlords suing you maybe they will maybe they wont. The real problem is getting out of the situation. Ya the landlord might get pissed but oh well. Its pretty easy to fight evictions and lenghthen them out. just show up to court and you get more time un til next court date. Just claim you paid the rent. Then it goes to trial by then you are long gone and have stayed a free month .
In the business I call these poeple professional tenants.

It's been said never to borrow or lend money (or whatever) to a friend if you value the friendship. Your rental arrangement needs to be a business in which the two of you are partners. Forget about friendship... that has nothing to do with the girlfriends, moving in, moving out, whatever. You have to consider the financial facts of your agreements and either accept or change the situations. Put everything in writing... everything!!! Otherwise, you have no contracts to represent you. This is a business arrangement, not a personal one.

This is a very simple equation - it comes down to the lease agreement. You signed it, and so you are solely responsible for the apartment. You need to work something out with the landlord to break the lease prior to you moving. It would be a very bad idea - leaving a property in the hands of someone who has ZERO liability for maintaining it or paying the rent.

What you can do is sign a person lease agreement with your friends - that would only work if they decided they want to stay. If it were me, I wouldn't want to leave an apartment I signed for in their hands. They don't sound like the most responsible of people.

A quick solution but you might lose your friend:
wait till he leave get all of your family members together remove his stuff from YOUR apartment have landlord change lock immediately. If you knew that he wouldn't be staying then more then likely i would have hoped you knew you were gonna be able to cover rent, if not talk to your landlord about sub leasing the apartment (with a valid contract) but you might lose your deposit in the end.
As for you removing your room mates stuff unless he was on the lease or had a notarized copy of an agreement with you, its not against the law, since he really did not legally live there in the first place he was only "technically" paying you a storage fee for his stuff while you able to allow the space.


On the other note you could always tell him you found a better offer for a room mate that meets your needs and you need him to move out immediately or he needs to be put on the lease and pay you half of the security deposit.


crystal
be fair, do what ever it takes to make your roommate happy you don't want to share a place with someone who is angry for something stupid. don't lose your friendship over money the root of all things evil.
