pimpdaddys4 | Roommate's guest at at the apartment ALL the time!!? |
I had a roomie move in with me 2 months back, she is not on the lease and her boyfriend is over all the time. She does not pay any utilities and I pay a 100 bucks more on rent than she does. Her and her bf are quiet and keep to themselves, but everytime I come home hes there. He stays up to about 6-8 hours a day but always leaves by midnight. He is at the place more than I am cause he barely works. He stays in her room pretty much the whole time and doesnt make any noise, however he is still occupying the apartment a lot more than a guest should at least in my opinion. Do you all think its fair that he not pay any utilities or anything to stay here as much as he has, regardless of how quiet he is? What is your opinion on what I should do regarding this?
Additional Details
Also, he does not eat any of my food that is for sure. But he is over EVERY DAY for at LEAST 6 hours. Lately he has been there when I get home from work (at 4pm) and he stays until midnight. |

You're right, if that is his 'home away from home', then maybe he should start helping out with little things, such as replacing the food he might eat while he's there at the apartment. Maybe not so much the rent....but on the OTHER hand, your roommate needs to anny up and pay her fair share of the bill. I think it should come down to her paying her fair share and her boyfriend helping out with buying items he might have had an impact on using. |

In my view, he should not be paying utility bills..cause he's a guest..sorry!
But, your room mate should pay utility bills anyway! Also, If I were you, I would speak with my roommate and let her know that an occasional visitor when you are in room is fine, but that having a visitor everyday affects your privacy and that she should either have him visit when you are not around, or search for another room! |

6-8 hours is too much. I'd speak up about it. Not sure if you should charge him though. I'd rather just get a more respectful roommate. |

It depends, if he was showering there and sleeping there I would say you should talk about her rent going up and possibly paying more than you. It could be good for you because it could help you financially. For instance if the rent is 1200 have her pay 1/2 the utilities and 725 in rent and you could pay the remainder of it. If he is not showering there and sleeping there than there is not much you can say. She rents the room from you and is entitled to do as she pleases within it. But I would request that she split everything 50/50 rent and utilities. But like I said if he was showering and sleeping there then she and he should split a portion of the rent which should be more than you are paying because there are two of them. Hope that helps.....goodluck |

If she's not on the lease, tell her to pony up more money (to cover the extra expense of her b/f) or kick her out. |

Ug, I’ve been there!
I hope you’ve reviewed your lease to see how it deals with occupants that aren’t on the lease. I’ve lived in places where allowing someone not on the lease is grounds for eviction. Be careful about issue like that.
I had a roommate who moved in her underemployed bf too, but I made those two pay 2/3 of the bills. But they were both living in my apt fulltime. Your case is a little different. Before asking these two to pay more, you need to figure out what resources are being used by bf that wouldn’t otherwise be used. I.e., if your roomie is watching TV in her room, she’d be using the same electricity whether he was there or she was alone. However, if he’s eating half your (paid for by YOU) week’s groceries every time he comes over, then you do need to address this and ask that roomie pony up more money. |

I'd say as long as he's not being disespectful and doesn't spend the night all the time it's no big deal. If he starts moving stuff in I'd have a problem. It could be worse. He could be loud and eat all of your food. I'd say leave it alone unless it is really getting to you. If so, have a talk with your roomate. |

simple call the police hes trespassing.
if the roomate is not there he has no business being there, your the lease holder.
simple as that
if she bitches about it to bad
he has no legal right there
trust me the police will arrest him.
no legal authority for him there |

As far as him not paying and utilities I wouldn't expect him to since he doesn't live there. You may want to re-negotiate the amounts you and the paying roomie pay seeing as she pays less. What you have to take into consideration is will you offend your rent-paying roomie if you bring it up and will she move out? If she does, is she easily replaced, as in someone else willing to pay rent? |

I think I would be having a word with your roomie if you are unhappy with this situation. I'm a bit undecided about the length of time he is there - from what you say, it's not like he's staying over all the time, or there all day or anything, just sounds like evening visits. But at the end of the day, if you are basically in charge of the house then it really should be up to you as to who is there or not. After all, you say you are paying all the utilities. Maybe you could come to an arrangement with her to see if she could contribute something towards the bills? |

If he's not spending the night, there's nothing you can do about it.
If he's showering and cooking, etc - you might be able to ask her to pay more rent. |
