When this guy bought the condo, he and his roommate were renting his roommate was ecstatic. Champagne in hand and a broad smile on her face she announced how thrilled she was that she no longer had to pay rent. This was when she discovered that she was actually going to be finding a new place to live.
The thread was shared by u/Tombanel to the popular Reddit subreddit r/AITA (Am I the A-Hole) where he sought to discover whether or not he was in the wrong for "evicting" his roommate.
In a decisive decision, commenters voiced that they felt he was not in the wrong.
"She immediately assumed she wouldn't have to pay rent?" questioned educatedvegetable. "Why? To me this would have been a conversation of if I would then pay rent to you or if I should start looking for a place. You gave her ample time to find a new place and offered to help look. NTA"
"I am disturbed that Caitlin's first thought was that she would live rent-free," stated sucksatchess666. "That is incredibly entitled. Did she think you got it for free?"
"If you want to do a nice gesture, you could help her look for a place or help her pay for movers, etc., depending on the severity of her financial situation. But you are not entitled to keep her as a roommate nor should you feel an ounce of regret for doing what is right for you. Congratulations on your new place! NTA."
