Living with roommates can be a good way to help split up the bills so that it is easier for everyone to manage their money.

What would you do if your roommates were constantly late on their half of the payments, and even failed to pay the gas bill so that it was shut off?

That is what happened to the couple in this story, so now they are moving out, but they’re also getting revenge via the internet.

Was that the wrong thing to do, or do the roommates deserve it? Let’s read the whole story to decide.

AITA for disconnecting the WiFi and blocking my roommates while we’re still technically living together?

I (24F) live with my boyfriend (27M) and another couple we’ll call Bum and his girlfriend. We’ve all shared a rental house for the past year. Let me just say, this year has been bad.

Kick them out if they can’t pay their bills.

From the start, Bum and his girlfriend have had money issues. Not just “tight budget” problems—more like, we cover their bills or we all get evicted problems. They constantly asked us to float their part of rent or utilities. It got so bad we almost got kicked out once because they didn’t pay their share of the rent.

Bum hasn’t had a job in over two years and mooches off his girlfriend, who’s recovering from addiction and alcoholism. It’s sad, she’s trying to get her life together, but he contributes nothing.

This is unacceptable.

Recently, our gas was shut off because they couldn’t pay their share. No hot water, no cooking, nothing. His girlfriend tried to scrape together money to fix it but couldn’t afford to get it turned back on.

It’s been off since July 16th.

We’re living in a house with no hot water and a bunch of financial leeches.

Thankfully, my boyfriend and I signed a lease for a new place. We’re not moving until August, but we’ve been showering and cooking there already. Since we’re basically being forced out by their nonsense, I reached a breaking point.

If anything, this is very mild.

I disconnected the WiFi (which we’ve been paying for).

I’m done.

They’ve taken advantage of us for too long, and I’m not making life easier for them while they burn this place down.

So…..Am I wrong for cutting them off early even though the lease is technically until August 6?

AITA?

Not in the least. They cut off the gas and have been making you pay their rent. Cutting off the Internet is nothing compared to that. It should have been done months ago.

I’m sure the people in the comments on Reddit will agree. Let’s take a look.

I agree, get out of there ASAP.

This is a good way to look at it.

They aren’t legally obligated to provide internet.

Tell the guy to get a job.

This commenter went through something similar.
