Paying rent on time is an important part of being a responsible roommate.

In this story, a woman and her partner repeatedly covered for roommates who could not pay their rent on time.

This caused the roommates to receive multiple eviction notices.

The landlord wanted to rent the home to her instead, leaving the evicted roommates furious.

Well, that sounds fair and square, right? Check out the full details below.

AITA for staying when my “roommate” is being evicted?

My roommates are being evicted from the shared accommodation they invited us to live in with them.

It’s simply because they cannot, for the life of them, pay their rent on time.

They have received multiple 10-day or 30-day notices for missed rent.

This woman had never been late to pay her share of the rent.

My partner and I have covered for them countless times.

We have never been late on our portion of the rent or bills.

This is important to note because the landlords like us as tenants.

Even though we were never added to the lease officially.

The landlord demanded that her roommates vacate the place.

Now, the landlord has given the roommates 30 days to vacate.

The landlord would like to move forward with renting the place to myself and my partner.

But my roommate is livid, and I don’t understand why.

They have lied to us, stolen from other roommates, and have been rather unpleasant to live with at times.

But I still sympathize because life can be tough.

Now, she’s wondering if she was the bad guy in this situation.

They prioritize fun over bills and don’t pay rent on time, if ever.

This is causing them to be evicted, and now, I’m the bad guy.

Help! Am I the jerk?

Seriously? OP is being blamed when she was the one paying rent on time?

In fact, she and her partner had even covered for their roommates countless times, so being treated like the villains seems pretty unfair.

I think it’s only right for the landlord to kick her roommates out of the accommodation since they were not being good tenants.
