Hmmm…well, these folks didn’t get off on the right foot, that’s for sure!

And I can tell you from experience, if you get off to a bad start with a roommate, it’s only gonna go downhill from there.

Trust me on this one, okay?

In today’s story, a woman went on the record and complained about a roommate who made herself right at home…before anyone else had a chance to move in to the place.

Doh!

Let’s take a look!

AITA for asking the girl who moved into my room to move out?

“I (F21) am moving into an apartment for the first time this upcoming fall.

I recruited two of my friends to room with me and at the end of April, we signed the lease for a four-bedroom apartment (lease beginning in August).

However, we were unable to find a fourth person to fill the remaining room. I asked the leasing agent, Kyle, if he could find someone for us, and he agreed.

Nearly three months passed and I hadn’t heard anything about the fourth roommate from Kyle, so I reached out to him again and asked if he found anyone to fill that spot.

He ghosted me.

This was weird…

We only found out we had a fourth roommate when one of my friends moved in a couple weeks later and found the mystery roommate already living in the apartment.

My friend assured me the roommate was chill, but that she had moved into “the nice bedroom”.

For context, the rooms are labeled A, B, C, and D.

I asked my friend if the “nice bedroom” was A as I had suspected, and she confirmed it was. In my lease, it states I was assigned to room A, so the mystery roommate had moved into my room.

I reached out to the roommate over Instagram (she had somehow found my account and requested to follow me) and told her she accidentally moved into my room.

And this was getting complicated…

The roommate informed me that Kyle said there were no assigned rooms, and that as long as it was one person to one room, the tenants could switch around rooms how they like.

Kyle never told me or my friends this piece of information. I responded back telling her that and asked if she could move out of room A, as that is the room legally assigned to me per the lease.

I also offered to help her move as well as deep clean room D because that’s what she did for room A.

She responded with a very long message that essentially said she appreciated the offer, but even if I cleaned and helped her move, she would have to do it over again because she’s very particular with how her personal spaces are, and she’s too busy with her sorority stuff to have time to re-clean and move everything before the semester begins.

Now what…?

She brought up Kyle again, mentioning how he said it was “up to us” regarding the rooms. She said if she had known from the beginning that I wanted the room, she wouldn’t have had any problem with it.

I found her bringing up Kyle’s words again a bit incriminating; if Kyle told her it was “up to us” regarding switching around the assigned rooms, why did she not try to consult us before choosing a room?

Other friends of mine are encouraging me to push for my room back, but the roommate seems really settled on the staying there (she’s been living there for nearly 3 weeks now).

Would I be a jerk for continuing to push her?”

She definitely has to stand up for herself and reclaim that room.

I know I would!

This is not a good start, folks…

This roommate situation has turned into a mess…
