Ouch…
Nobody likes to get bad news…
And what makes it worse is when they dish out the bad news at the last minute!
What’s up with that?!?!
Well, we hear these kinds of stories all the time…
The woman you’re about to hear from is pretty ticked off that her roommate told her she’s not going to renew her lease with her at their apartment…and it probably would’ve been helpful if she shared this information sooner.
Get all the details below, and see what you think.
Roommate just told me she’s not renewing the lease.
“Roommate just told me she’s not renewing the lease.
My lease ends August 15, so we have until July 15 to let the landlord know if we’re renewing.
Back in April my roommate (will call her Bridget), told me to let her know my plans by April so she could make plans for finding another roommate or finding a place she could afford living alone.
I figured that was fair and told her I was probably going to stay if she wanted to continue to live together.
They had a deal…
We both agreed we would either renew this lease or find another place for one more year.
She has this boyfriend who she has been wanting to move in with but he has always shut her down on the topic, and she said in April they both agreed she would live with a roommate for one more year so he “could live by himself for another year.”
Cool, everything seemed fine. We have even been looking at places together.
She was about to get blindsided!
Fast forward to tonight – the night of July 11 – four days before we have to communicate our decision to the landlord, and she corners me in my room to tell me her boyfriend asked her to move in with him and she’ll be doing that.
I’m furious.
She went out of her way to give me a deadline of April to make **my** decision, but apparently had free rein to make **her** decision whenever she pleased.
She’s pretty frustrated.
I’m not even mad about losing her as a roommate – my finances are okay and I’ll either move in with family and save for a bit or get my own place if I can find one cheap enough.
But I’ve put up with her annoying (and *nasty)* behavior for 2 years, and this is how she ends it.
She’ll be paying the moving fees.”

Roommates…they can be so darn frustrating to deal with.
Her roommate definitely didn’t handle this very well…
