<p>Ok, here's my story, it may be a bit long but please read. Over the past week since returning from spring break my housemates have been giving me problems. The 1st Monday night one of my three roommates destructed a wall in the house, for the second time this school year. Because of him I probably won't be getting back my security deposit in excess of $800. (He had already done it once before this year but fixed the wall for the most part) While this was going on, my two other roommates were pretty much just laughing and not stopping him or anything. It was 2 AM while this was occurring and I was just in my room minfing my own business trying to sleep. Well when I heard what was happenning downstairs, I went downstairs and pretty much just told them they were being disrespectful and immature, they did not seem to care. For the next few days i pretty much just didn't talk to any of them and made barely any contact with any of them, minding my own business. Fri night I didn't go out and before they left to go out, they hid the wireless router that I use to go online with and left the tv on at its maximum volume among other things. Ok, i leave a note sayin who da f*** took my router and its in front of my bedroom door the next day. All of Sat. I ignore them and don't make any contact with them. When they went out Sat. Night they again left the TV on at its max volume. Now when 2 of them came back at around 2 in the mornin they vandalized my bedroom door with ketchup and then went outside and threw a football at my bedroom window. </p>
<p>I've kept my feelings inside me to myself, but have grown too frustrated. I go downstairs and ask them why they are doing this as calm as I can and tell them to treat people that way u would want to be treated, but they pretty much act like they have no idea what i'm talking about. I'm at a point where I don't feel 100% safe anymore and am thinking of, and probably leaning towards moving out and commutin from my home for the rest of the semester, which is about 25-30 mins away. I was friends with these three guys when the school year started, and I can no longer say the same. I've done nothing but try to be respectful of everyone and they have not done the same. Please give me whatever advice you may have and thank you for reading all of this.</p>
<p>I would have a talk with the landlord. I would let them know what’s been going on and that you are unable to control the destructive behavior of the other people in your apt. Don’t do this however until you have a truck parked outside to load and move your stuff out of the apartment. Do not just leave the apartment without taking your stuff with you because it sounds as though the jerks you’re living with would think nothing of destroying your stuff.</p>
<p>So, move your stuff out. Then, talk with your landlord. Tell your roommates that you’ve decided to move back home because of some make believe circumstance. Don’t come out and say that you’re moving because of them because that’s exactly what they’re waiting for and don’t let them know that you’ve spoken with the landlord. Ask the landlord to respect your need for privacy because you don’t want these jerks to harass you for the rest of the time at that school. You’ll probably have to pay out for the remainder of the months on the lease but at least you’ll have some peace living in your home for the last 5 wks. or so of school. Definitely, find another place to live now for next semester.</p>
<p>Be sure to take dated digital photos of your room before you leave the apt. Keep a copy for yourself and give a copy to your landlord as proof that your room was left in good condition when you moved out. I have a feeling they’ll trash your room when you do leave. So, make sure to take those dated photos for proof of the condition of the apartment when you left.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice nysmile. My plan was to move most of my important stuff out and then nicely tell them that for financial reasons I’m moving out and that they could use my security deposit which they will most likely not get back to pay for my final 2 months rent, as that deposit for the most part covers my share of that rent. I was not planning on notifying the landlord partly becase my name is NOT on the lease, nor did i ever sign the lease. Any more advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>The fact that your name is not on the lease is even better. In that case, move ALL of your stuff out at one time, tell them that you have to move back home for whatever random reason you make up, and be done with it. Just be vague about your reasons so they don’t feel compelled to be jerks to you for the rest of your time at the school. No need to speak with the landlord if you’re not on a lease and you haven’t signed any contracts.</p>
<p>Good luck and enjoy the peace for the rest of the semester. Start looking now for housing for next year.</p>
<p>hava, if you can’t get help from your landlord I suggest you commute from home. 25-30 minutes is not that bad. Also, it’s better than your failing at school thanks to an emotional breakdown induced by your housemates.</p>
<p>Talk to your landlord about having their evicted. It’s possible for landlords to evict individual residence on a case to case base, especially if they are damaging the property or making neighbors complain.</p>
<p>Also, if he’s damaging your property or apartment, you have every right to take him to court and sue for damages.</p>
<p>Dude, can’t you just leave?
I mean you aren’t on the lease…so basically they are illegally subletting you.
Obviously, they don’t give a flip about you, but since you are around they get cheaper rent.
And why did you pay a security deposit if you aren’t on the lease??</p>
<p>Like the other poster said, tell them you don’t have enough money and need to leave, or that you got a new super hot boy/girlfriend that you have to move in with…haha.</p>
<p>They sound awful. And things will just get worse.</p>
<p>These guys sound like total a-holes, and don’t sound like friends at all. Find new friends. Better friends for christ sake.</p>
<p>I certainly wouldn’t take this much abuse, but then again, I understand that when you’ve living with three other guys you have to try to be diplomatic. That being said, all of you guys suck at being diplomatic or respectful whatsoever. You’re passive-agressive note with profanities probably made them laugh and revel at their achievement and only encouraged them further.</p>
<p>Anyhow, the fact that you’re not on the lease for whatever reason is a huge blessing. Move out, and on the final day, leave your room a complete mess with garbage and food, etc. all over the place.</p>
<p>Also, this notorious ‘Tucker Max’ scheme: remove the back lid of the toilet, where all the water is, and take a massive dump in there. Replace lid. Not only does this have the effect of giving off a rancid smell, but everytime someone flushes, **** water comes out, again and again. Roll some toilet paper still on the wheel into the toilet and flush a couple times. This will add to the mess. Leave the house and don’t look back, lol.</p>
