    Font - AITA for kicking my roommate's "not" girlfriend out? Around the same time we were in the process of moving in, lets call him Mason (M24) started hanging out with this girl, Abby (F23). She is cool and I (F25) like her as a friend, but I am wary around her since she doesn't want a boyfriend, and Mason is the boyfriend type, but none of my business.

    Font - The problem is, whenever I wake up, she is here. Whenever I sleep, she is here. Whenever I get back from work, she is here. I pointed this out to Mason, he said he would handle it. I told him, utilities are not included, if they come high I am not paying 50%. He said its ok.

    Font - Fast forward to today, first utility bill. Surprise! It is high. I asked the receptionist if she has seen this utility bill for 2 people, she says its more common for 3 or 4 people.

    Font - I go upstairs and GUESS WHO IS THERE... NOT MASON. I tell Abby how the bill is high for 2 people and considering she has been here every day, we are splitting it 3 ways. She says no, she doesn't live here, to talk to Mason.

    Font - And I explode. I tell her, "You have been here every morning, day, night. You are here more than Mason. You are freeloading and you are not even his girlfriend. Get the out and don't come back unless you start paying rent. And take all your clothes you have everywhere."

    Font - Mason later sits me down and talks about how inappropriate that was and he was going to pay for 75% of the bill from the start. I tell him, "I pay rent. This is my apartment too. She is NOT living here for free, I don't care if you cover for her."

    Font - He says I am being unreasonable, that I am still paying whats fair. I say I don't care. AITA? Tldr; roommates "not" girlfriend has been freeloading in our new apartment, utility bill came high, I demanded she pay her share, she refused, kicked her out. Roommate said he would cover for her, but I don't care, I do not want her living here for free. AITA?

Mason should've addressed this with you once it became apparent that she was basically going to be living there. You agreed to live with one person, another one hanging out there a significant amount of time changes the dynamic significantly. She needs to start paying rent, utilities, and food. 2.9k Reply Share

    Font - StephWith HerCats - 8 hr. ago NTA. You said it perfectly, she's freeloading. If you're "not the girlfriend type" that's fine, but it doesn't give you a free pass to hang out all the time and act like you would expect in a relationship but without financially contributing because you're "not his girlfriend". Kick her out, and hopefully your friend catches on soon that she's using him. 1.4k Reply Share

    Font - lord_buff74 7 hr. ago NTA, it's pretty inconsiderate of your roommate to "move" someone else in without okaying it with you, the fact that she had clothes there is a real standout that she wasn't just visiting 608 Reply Share

    Font - thefanciestcat. 7 hr. ago ΝΤΑ Your rental agreement/lease agreement probably has something about guests they're violating, and you definitely didn't agree to take on another roommate. 386 Reply Share

    Font - inFinEgan 8 hr. ago Certified Proctologist [21] ΝΤΑ You moved in with one roommate, not two. He doesn't have the right to move a second roommate in regardless of how much he pays. Having said that, as long as she is there, you should demand he pays 2/3rds of the rent as well. 214 Reply Share

    Font - Silver MoonSpring - 12 hr. ago NTA, constant presence of non-roommates is not ok, not even is she was his gf. You didn't agree to live with her, it's not that hard to understand, so Mason should stop playing dumb. Him paying most of the bills doesn't address her irritating constant presence

    Font - NJtoOx 10 hr. ago ΝΤΑ And even if she was his girlfriend you'd be in the right here. He essentially moved this girl into your shared apartment without talking to you about it.
