I’m at university, and have rented a house for next year with three friends. We’re renting it for the entire year (i.e. including summer vacations, etc.) Two of my friends sub-rented their rooms to other people for the summer. The other two of us elected to pay the rent for the summer so we could use the house over the summer. This is fairly standard as far up to now. However, my point is this:
There are four bedrooms in the house, three are aprox. the same size, the fourth being about 1/3 the size of the others. In order to circumvent the problems this could cause, we decided to rotate this room amongst us, and draw straws on who would have this room first. OK, so I drew the short straw. It was agreed with the other people renting the house that I could have pick of the rooms for the summer. So I chose one (obviously not the smallest one).
The sub-renting persons rented their rooms out for around 1/2 of what they are paying for the place. Still fine. However, when I come to move in for the summer, I find that the two sub-renters are in fact occupying the two largest rooms still available (the third large room is being occupied by the other renter of the house, i.e. he who’s name is on the lease).
What do I do? There is one room left and it’s the smallest one. I cannot really move into this room without being pissed off, since I am paying twice the rent of two people staying in larger rooms.
HELP!!
