If the mooching friend is there more than someone who is actually on the lease, it's definitely a problem. That's what this Redditor learned the hard way after moving in with her roommate and discovering that the roommate's "not girlfriend" Abby was there every morning, every afternoon, and every evening. This became a significant problem and not just a harmless nuisance when the first utility bill arrived.

Of course, it was higher than what is typical for a two-person apartment. That's because really three people have been living there. When the Redditor confronted Abby about this and demanded that she pay ⅓ of the utility bill, she refused. The roommate, Mason, also tried to defend Abby's constant presence, but thankfully, OP put her foot down. If she's already there this much at the start of the lease, it's only going to get worse.
