    Font - CartoonThinking OP. 18h Frustrating is a word. I prefer to use the terms "self worth crushing". It really feels like I'm just being used to do household chores and pay bills while I'm trying to get on my feet 7.5k

    Font - ArtemisMoon666 17h Oh you definitely are no doubt being used! I get why you'd want to move, it's not worth dealing with at all. With you leaving they'll be forced to do it themselves or have to deal with the consequences of not doing it at all. At least you sound more hopeful of your new roomie! ... 2.3k

    Font - Today Time Deux After a few "hey please do your dishes" talks I asked a roommate to move out. She said my requests were unreasonable. I then rattled of a bunch of times I came home to do her dishes or clean food she threw on the kitchen floor missing the trash. It didn't click for her. Some people are so in their own world they can't even understand why other people don't want to be their maid. 17h ... 4842

    Font - CartoonThinking OP. 18h The most annoying part is, if I don't wash them I'll get kicked out of the house. I'm the only one in this house who works a real job, the owner of the property just collects unemployment and state assistance for her and her 2yo daughter. The house is constantly a mess and I'm the only one who cleans anything even though I stay in my room and go to work. Luckily moving out of here at the end of March, new roommate is infinitely better than this 42.2k

    Font - cacope5 +1 17h As a person that has been in this situation, let me give you some advice that worked for me. Take what is yours (plates, glasses, silverware, pots, pans, food even) and keep it in your room. When you cook, clean it and store it back in your room. Let them pile their nasty mold dishes up and let them deal with it, you'll always have clean dishes in your room. Or, spend a few extra bucks and buy paper plates, plastic cups, etc.. do NOT be their personal cleaning slave. Let th

    Font - EzraMeeker53 +2 17h I did that to a roommate once. He had a dinner party for his friends on Friday night and then left for the weekend. He left every dish and pot in the sink dirty. I put them in a box and put them on the floor in his room. When I got home on Monday he had returned and instead of washing the dishes he dumped the box on my bed and started yelling at me when I walked in the door. Lol. I owed the house and was renting to him. He was moved out the next day. ... 500

    Font - _Mr_Hyde_33 18h • Lived with roommates most of my life, we developed over the years what we call the mark method. This is when you take all of the dirty dishes and throw them into the backyard, then you go and buy yourself utensils and yourself plates and yourself pots and pans. You will then take those wash them after every use and lock them in your bedroom. I've seen this work firsthand it is most effective. ... Reply 716

    Font - CartoonThinking OP. 17h So my situation is a tad.. scuffed. I came to my landlady in April of last year because I had been kicked out of my mothers house (our relationship is rocky) and there was never a formal rental agreement made, only a verbal one. I needed a roof over my head and offered to pay her 50% of my checks to let me stay there. She agreed and so have held up my end of the deal. Soon after she was asking me to do everything around the house such as but not limited to: ● feed

    Font - I was fine taking care of some household chores. Mowing the lawn? No sweat! But after she (Roommate 1/ Homeowner) lost her job in august it has been my "responsibility" to take care of every basic household task. Due to their being no written rental agreement, she can lie to the courts about what my stipulations for renting are, and have me thrown out within 3 days 4142 ↓

    Font - D CartoonThinking OP. 18h The excuses are as follows: Roommate 1 is a single mom who 'can't do it on her own' (I took care of her daughter and cleaned the house daily for 6 months, yes she can) ● ● Roommate 2 pays more than I do in rent. (Unsure of how that affects her ability to clean up after herself) 594

    Font - xfalinex +2 17h They're making the area a safety hazard and simply being lazy with their own mess. Keep all the pics, take before and after photos of your handiwork. If you've been threatened with being kicked out if you don't clean, ask for that in writing and make sure there's a copy for the other roommates too. A copy taped to the fridge even. Keep all your evidence in a folder or somewhere safe even after moving out. Glad to hear you're moving out soon, it sounds like a nightmare. 23
