After roommate abruptly leaves apartment and stops paying rent, tenant decides to redecorate the apartment, only to have roommate return months later and throw a fit at the makeover: 'You deliberately made the apartment unlivable for me'

*Waves goodbye and shuts the door…yeah, she's not coming back.

Imagine having your roommate ghost you out of the blue. Much like your experience with men, you decide that no matter how many promises they make, they're not coming back. So what's a girl to do when left alone? Well, when it comes to breakups, a makeover is always the right answer: change your hair, change your clothes, become unrecognizable.

But when your roommate packs their bags and ghosts you for a "little time away," the best move is to redecorate. And that's exactly what she did. Out with the dark walls and dim lights her vision-sensitive roommate insisted on. Name a better form of alone time than transforming a little student-budget home from a dark den into the perfect oasis. There's no need to consult the old roommate about these changes…she gave up that right the moment she stopped paying rent without notice.

That is, until she shows up months later with a baffling, "I'm back from my trip?!?"

This entitled woman can't just expect to walk back into the apartment like she never left. Once you decide to make your rent someone else's issue, they become the sole decision maker of the home, and you have no say. No say in the wall's color, no say in the grocery list…nada!
So it's important to remember, like any man, ‘a break’ will ultimately lead to a ‘break up’… That's just how it goes.
