Imagine renting an apartment with a roommate, but then your roommate lets his girlfriend move in rent free. Would you be okay with that, or would you argue that she shouldn’t be allowed to live there since she’s not on the lease?
In this story, one man is in his exact situation, and he keeps getting more and more annoyed by his roommate’s girlfriend.
Keep reading for all the details.
WIBTA if I reported to my landlord that my roommate has moved his girlfriend in?
It’s a drastic step I know, but I’m not sure what else to do.
About two months ago she got into a huge fight with her roommate at her dorm and my roommate told(not asked) that she would be crashing here for “a little while”.
She’s really obnoxious to live with, I can see why her and her roommate got into a fight.
He has a long list of reasons he dislikes the roommate’s girlfriend.
She’s loud as heck, she’s been stealing my food, I’m pretty sure she’s gone through my stuff, because stuff in my room has been out of place, she hogs the tv, she’s a total slob, she cranks the heat to ungodly levels, I could go on.
There’s just no break from her either, she’s always here.
At first I would go for long walks or hold up in my room so I wouldn’t have to be around her as much, but I’m sick of avoiding living spaces I pay for.
He doesn’t know what else to do besides telling the landlord.
I’ve been complaining about the situation to my roommate a lot.
He’s getting visibly annoyed now when I do, but he’s not doing anything about it. Besides telling her about it I think, she’s been really cold with me.
It’d be one thing if she had no where to go, but she has a dorm room. She’s just refusing to suck it up and make up with her roommate.
I know reported the situation to the landlord is basically lighting a drama fuse, but it’s one that might get results.
I can understand this person’s frustration. Perhaps he should talk to his roommate again and warn him that he’s going to go to the landlord before actually doing it to give him one last chance to talk to his girlfriend.
Let’s see how Reddit responded to this story.

Another person is on OP’s side.

Here’s another vote for going to the landlord.

But perhaps the landlord would be willing to tell a small lie.

The girlfriend shouldn’t be living there.
