My ex roommate was one of those. I did not kick her out. Instead I was the type that left notes on the fridge.

For an example... (please pick up after yourself and your friends. P.S. and all the beer bottles that YOUR company left) I am not your mother.

Went to work. Came home she was pissed!! Claiming she was not a child. Then I told her if she was not a child then pick up after yourself.

about a few months later after me hassling her. She moved.

I was like

**KarissaMann05** · 02-23-2009, 06:01 PM

I would kick him/her out for sure.

I had a similar problem with a former rommate, too. =/

AlleyCat · 02-23-2009, 06:25 PM

I have a roommate right now who is borderline crazy. I'm about ready to kick 'im out.

What are they doing to you?

Throws a hissy fit when any of my hearing friends (he is hearing himself) talks on their cell phone. They've been reduced to going out to the garage if they wanna use it. Of course, same said roommate talks so loud on his own cell phone I can hear him 2 floors away in my house (and I'm deaf!) Picks a fight if any of us want to use the coffeemaker in the morning before he does. Heaven forbid we should get any coffee first. I finally went out and bought my own coffeemaker. Tells us "absolutely under NO circumstances can we touch his laundry" even if it's been sitting in the washer or dryer for a day already and we're waiting our turn. Tells us to shut up after dark. "If this were the white house, total quiet would be respected around here." Excuse me? This is not the white house.

AND, last but not least. I am one of the OWNERS of this house. He is not. Yet he feels like he gets to dictate terms around here. Other than his hissy fits and demands, he's actually nice when he wants to be which is the only reason I haven't kicked 'im out yet. But think I'm about to give him his notice and replace him with a less-hissy person.

That is when I take their load of clothes and throw it in a basket.

I used to have a roommate that did that an let their clothes sour in the washer.
The same one would let their clothes set in dryer. I would toss that too in the basket.

They get pissed. but "Oh Well"

They have to understand other people have to do laundry also. The world does not revolve around them. especially when they do not consider others.

AlleyCat · 02-23-2009, 10:09 PM

Then all that happens is a big fight. And I hate that. We're all supposed to be mature adults. He has the mentality of a child, sometimes. It's easier to just shut up and wait it out. But ultimately we'll end up kicking him out.

Ooohh!

A fight! I did not allow my ex roommate to argue with me. I just told her. That she can let her clothes rot in the basket instead of in the washer!

And that it was not fair! She would leave them there thinking I would put them in the dryer for her. "NOT!" I threw them in the basket. Told her I am not her maid or her mother. She wants her clothes washed she can do it. If she was at home tending to her Laundry like a responsible adult then I would wait it out. but once she leaves. and the clothes been setting and souring. I take them out to wash my own.

Their is no way in hell that I would sit and wait for her. She sometimes did not come home for a few days. So I just wash my clothes, and leave hers in the basket rotting. No different than letting it sit in the washer rotting.

Christer · 02-23-2009, 11:16 PM

I will give a chance to my roommate then not work out I will kick roommate out. That's simple.

You put them in the basket?? THat's better then I did..I threw them on the floor..LOL

missywinks · 02-24-2009, 12:27 AM

INCREASE the rent! that will drive him out.

***VamPyroX*** · 02-24-2009, 02:08 AM

If you and your roommate were on the same lease, then you're probably stuck. If it's just you on the lease, then you can kick him out.

Yep, I am the homeowner. He is just a renter and without a lease. All we have to do is give him 30 days notice. YAY

**Oddball** · 02-24-2009, 08:27 AM

That's why I have no roommate at this time. I'd prefer to be alone in my apt because I value my privacy and peace. I don't need any hissy fits from any roommates.

Yup put them in the basket and set them on top of the dryer.

Did not throw them on the floor because then the clothes would be in the way.

Been tempted to toss them in the garbage a few times.

Me, too, I prefer to live alone in my big townhouse without any haggles from any roommates except my two cats.

Byrdie714 · 02-24-2009, 04:35 PM

Sorry to see that everyone had issues with their roommates.

The only problem I had with my roommate was that he walked around naked!

Holla!

Deploy the artillery and fire some sense into his head!

Plan B: Eviction or move out.

Tousi · 02-24-2009, 04:43 PM

AlleyCat for sainthood! Espcially since she has the legal upper hand!

**Dixie** · 02-24-2009, 06:03 PM

The solution is simple - kick him out on the grounds of incompatibility and the lack of taking responsibility to keep his things locked up and secure. (not locking the front door)

Tousi · 02-24-2009, 06:21 PM

Way I see it AC doesn't need grounds....

Byrdie714 · 02-24-2009, 07:38 PM

Just a 30 day notice.

You guys would all be right

I do hold a real estate license so I'm familiar with the real estate laws in Minnesota relating to tenancy. And I, as the homeowner, do not need any legal grounds, especially since there's no written lease. But to avoid any legal hassles I will give him written 30 days' notice. I just heard that a friend is interested in being a roommate at my house so I just might kick out my hissy-fit roommate in a matter of days
