Roommate Chaos: Why Im Moving Out - AITA?

A college house should not feel like a group project nobody agreed to. But one roommate situation spiraled fast, and OP is done paying for the chaos while her roommate treats it like a surprise plot twist.

It started when her roommate’s boyfriend moved in without asking, “kind of” being told he could stay. Now OP is stuck hearing constant couple-time through the walls, cleaning up after nobody, and covering $700 a month while the boyfriend pays nothing, and somehow still manages to bring home a motorcycle, grill, and guitar.

The real kicker is that OP’s landlords are her roommate’s parents, and the roommate is dragging her feet on telling them, even as OP packs and has already booked a tour for the weekend.

Original Post

My roomate and I moved into a house her parents purchased for college. Her brother is planned to move in over the coming summer along with one of his friends.

I have the hall bathroom currently, but after they move in, the two of us would be sharing her bathroom inside the master bed. The problem I’ve been dealing with for months is that her boyfriend moved in against my consideration.

I came home one day and she didn’t ask me, but rather told me that she “kind of just told him he could stay here.” I told her I was uncomfortable with this but to no avail. The two of them are constantly at it in their room and it can be heard throughout the house every time.

They don’t clean after themselves, food is left on open plates in the fridge, oh and yeah he doesn’t pay rent! Neither does she!

She pays the utilities and I have to fork over 700 a month, while her boyfriend who contributes nothing lives here for free! He has a job as well.

That money however has gone towards a new motorcycle, grill, and guitar in the last 4 months (despite her claims that he is broke). I was left here alone with him for 3 days when I had finally reached my breaking point.

I called her to tell her I was not comfortable living here anymore and very respectfully said I was looking for another place to go and planned on moving out when I found one. She has yet to tell her parents (who are my landlords) and has been giving me s**t for moving!

I’ve been packing and she acts like it’s so shocking that I have been, when I told her 3 days ago that I had a tour for a place I was solid on booked for the coming weekend. She’s incredibly toxic to live with, and to save the last remainder of our friendship (and my own dignity and sanity) I made the choice to leave.

I’m giving my landlords over a months notice formally (no contract was ever drawn up either). AITA for leaving?

This echoes the inheritance fight, where the poster’s dad allegedly planned to update his will.

OP comes home to her roommate announcing the boyfriend’s stay like it’s already official, and that’s when the bathroom sharing problem starts turning into a full-blown living nightmare.

Between the boyfriend not paying rent, the plates left in the fridge, and the utility bills landing on OP’s shoulders, the “just ignore it” plan stops being possible after the three-day blowup.

OP finally calls her roommate to say she’s moving out and even mentions the tour she booked for the weekend, and the roommate responds by acting shocked instead of addressing the real issue.

Now OP is giving a month’s notice to her landlords, while her roommate has not told her parents, and that silence is making the whole house situation even messier than the nonstop couple noises.

Nobody wants to fund a free-loading boyfriend’s shopping spree while sharing a bathroom they never agreed to.

After already tipping, this Domino’s customer still got asked for “tipping twice,” see how they handled it.
