Anything I can do???

Okay...here's the situation.

I approached my roommate today in class because I needed to tell her what her portion of the bills for this month were. (short history...we NEVER talk...she wanted to break the lease, but agreed to stay until May...she does not even LIVE with me...)

She proceeded to tell me that because she did NOT have the money...she wasn't going to pay for anymore bills because she didn't "live" there. The bills are in MY name...therefore...she is just flat out screwing me over. I have found another roommate to take her place, but not until the end of April...so...she is not going to pay 120 bucks worth of bills for the two months she has left.

She said, "Well...my name is on the lease, so I will pay the rent, but because the bills are in YOUR name...I DON'T have to pay them." Somebody please tell me there is something I can do.

I was so mad at her...as she turned around to walk off I started following her because I really felt like punching the crap off out of her. One of my friends stopped me...I WAS FURIOUS!!!!!!!!!

She has to be the most cold-hearted person I have ever met?? I mean, really...what kind of person would just flat out screw you over like that?

I AM SO MAD RIGHT NOW. I'll say one thing...she sure better be glad my friend stopped me because I would have laid her ass out right there in front of everyone for sure.

:mad: :mad: :mad:
 
Does she have any of her stuff there still? You could hold onto it and not let her have it until she pays her half, or you could always sell it and use it pay her half.

Sorry, but that's all tired, lunch induced self can come up with right now.
 
Actually as far as getting money out of her in the situation you described no you can't really do anything.

BUT, you take any or all of her belongings that are left in the apertment and either
1.piss on them
2.burn them
3.trash them

or you could just kick her ass, and then piss on her
 
This one's simple. She's on the lease, you're on the bills. So each month pay her your share of the rent minus her share of the utilities. She has to make up the difference.

Have a huge man in a ski mask, who looks just like B Fold with a ski mask on mug her for $150, The B Fold looking dude has to get gas money to drive home right... Or you could wait untill she gets drunk throw her in the back of a friends car and put the bitch in chains and throw her in the river. this might not pay the bills but you will feel better.
 
This is why roommates should sign contracts just like you would for any other business aggreement. But you can take her to small claims court and argue your case stating that you had an oral agreement. I'm guessing both your names are on the lease so Joncrane's suggest probably won't work because you'd just be screwing yourself.

I'm confusing. Is she still leaving there? Either way. the fact she signed a lease showed her intent to live there and be good enough proof in court.

Okay..

Whole F'N show...she does not 'live' here, physically, but her stuff is still in her room...and she has this gosh awful Hello Kitty crap in the guest bathroom, too. So...her stuff is here, but she is NOT.

Steroid Virgin...that would be a good idea...but too easy! :)

bigschweeler...I could hold her stuff...but she did say that she was going to pay a third of the rent for April...which will be the last month that she is going to be living here. BUT...if I screw with her stuff after she has paid her portion of the rent...that would be screwing myself because she could take me to court for vandalism or something crazy like that. Believe me...I just want to set her crap outside the apartment and let it rot.

Peyote...see my response above...

GLADIATOR...she gave me no deposit....we got lucky and did not have a security deposit on this apartment. So...that's a no go.

Joncrane...that WOULD work...but we each write our own check to the apt. office. She is basically screwing me over...like I said.

I think I am going to call her mom because she and I are way more likely to have an adult conversation that her daughter and I. I plan on making it known to her that her daughter is being difficult and if she continues to be stupid about it...I will not hesitate to take her to small claims court.

Whole F'N Show...we did make a verbal agreement...and also...she wanted out of the lease before we signed a new one in December...but she somehow...failed to mention that then.




:rolleyes:
 
Yep.... Just take somthing that belongs to her.. also change the locks so when she comes back.. you can give her the choice to pay or leave her stuff.

I like the changing the locks thing....That's a good idea. I am going to talk to the office right now and see what I can do. I don't want her to get out of this without losing something...do you blame me?
 
Night Fly,

It may make you feel better, but she more than likely is going to have legal recourse against you if you take her stuff.

I would place her on notice that you are going to sue her for breech of your oral agreement. Either she pays x amount due upon her moving out or you will file suit in the appropriate court. Do it with a letter and make it as professional sounding as possible. It may scare her into coughing up payment.

Whether or not you actually want to follow up on it is up to you.

Night Fly:

Just make sure you have a good reason for changing the locks, like you lost a set of your keys or something, don't make it sound like you did it to spite her, again that may weaken your legal position.

Yeah, I've changed my mind about doing that. She would slap a lawsuit on me in no time. All I want is the money...can she just not swallow her pride and pay me the 50 bucks??? Geez....
 
You could just walk away from it and consider the $120 a small price to pay for her to be out of your hair. I realize that $120 when you're in college is like a free trip to the Ft. Knox vault, but small claims court and changing locks and verbal sparring and all that other crap just prolongs the pissing contest ... and no one has ever really won a pissing contest (and even if someone has there was no satisfaction). I say let it go. You prolly have more important things to deal with ... like studying and finals.

YOu know...I was going to do that...I really was. But then...I woke up and realized how I just don't have 120 bucks to throw away on bills that aren't even mine. I know that I would have to pay court costs and what not...but ...well....shoot.

Can't I at least tell her that I have spoken to my lawyer and if she doesn't pay then I am taking her to court (to maybe scare her a bit)???

I really really want her out of my hair, like you said.

I wouldn't tell her anything. Send her a certified letter. In the letter make a statement to the effect that if she does not remit payment within 10 business day of reciept you will commence with legal action.

You may have better luck "scaring" her that way.

As a thought, since she no longer resides at your residence you could send it to her parents address. They will probably open it for her and help put the pressure on.

The fake, legal-sounding letter with empty threats is a very common tactic. I think it's called boilerplate. Companies use it all the time. Try it, it's pretty much free (ok 20 minutes writing and printing out a letter plus 35 cents). It definitely won't hurt to get her rents involved in this either.

Last I heard...your lawyer actually was drawing up a letter to be mailed. Way to go girl. If you go to small claims court...she will have to pay for everything:).

Did this chick use the the services you're trying to collect? In other words, are you trying to collect of phone/cable/water/electricity/etc that she didn't use? If this is the case, you can threaten all you want, but I wouldn't expect to be paid. She didn't use them ... why should she? If she did use them, the certified letter to her and her parents could be a useful tactic. If that doesn't work, I say you drop it.

She used them all for about 5 minutes when she came to the house...but I really dont' think that is the point.

When you sign an apt. lease does that not say that you basically agree to pay a 1/3 of the bills, also? This is just ridiculous.

OH, I was going to call her mother, but can't find the number and it's unlisted...I don't know what to do. :mad:

Small claims court.

Night Fly... send her a SEVEN DAY LETTER OF INTENT TO SUE. This is the first step in filing a small claims case... then file in Small Cliams. The judges see this stupid shit all the time.
