Ok, here’s the situation. My girlfriend was roommates with this other girl last year in the dorms at college. They decided to get an apt. this year to help save on costs.
They moved into the apt at the beginning of June, with the other girl moving in the last part of may. Ok, so she got there first, and pretty much took control of the apt. She moved in her current boyfriend without consulting my girlfriend. “Chris is moving in with us, is that ok?” This really cheesed my g/f because her and I had talked about sharing an apt, but the other girl said no, because she didn’t like me, and would feel awkward. No biggie, we consulted and came to a decision.
I didn’t think of it at the time, but the boyfriend was a violation of the lease. Also, boyfriend has an iguana. Another violation of the lease “No Reptiles.” She had moved the boyfriend in under the guise that her ‘friend’ just moved into town and is looking for an apt. No biggie to the landlord, he can stay for a couple weeks until my g/f moved in at the beginning of June.
My girlfriend had to get the power and the phone turned on, because the other girl was lazy and broke. So the electricity and phone are in her name, if they don’t get paid, that’s a strike against her. Not the other girl. For the month of June, everything was ok, except everytime I went over, it seemed like it was winter in there, because the A/C was on about 65 or so ALL THE TIME. We’d get bitched at if we moved the temp up to a comfortable level, say 74. “If you keep it at one setting, it’s more efficient” was the comment made.
Other girl made statements about not wanting the full phone package like she earlier had, so my g/f had them removed, no biggie, she didn’t need all that crap anyway. Then the wrath comes, ‘why did you do that without consulting me?’ She had, and it was pretty much a done deal.
Oh, and then comes the day when the boyfriend and iguana have to go. My girlfriend, who had been told that it was quite alright for ‘Chris’ to live there, mentioned something to the property manager about him and the iguana. OOPS. Prop. Mgr. calls roommate - “Boyfriend and iguana are to be gone by the end of the day!” So who catches hell for that? My g/f, because she ratted them out. Not true, all she did was say something about something that she was under the impression was ok to begin with. So what does the other girl do? Take the mattress she was letting my g/f use until we could get one moved into the apt. Nice, thanks, nothing like a nice hard floor to sleep on. “Chris needed a bed!”
And it doesn’t stop! Electric bill comes in. BOOOM! That’ll be $190+ dollars, thank you for shopping. Who gets to pay it? Yep, you got it, the person’s whose name it’s under. It’s due, and where’s roomie’s money? Dunno. It gets paid and now roomie owes my g/f $130 for elec. and phone. I say, just give her the money for rent, which is 230 - the 130 for bills = 100. Easy right? Not for her roomie, the math major.
Roomie is mad because no ‘consulting’ was done on this ‘financial’ issue. I figure it’s easy, pay your bills when they are due, and that’s it. Live by the rules and you’ll be happy. Unless you’re looking for a free ride.
So roomie goes to Prop. Mgr. and gives the rent money, less $130. Telling the ast. Mgr. (prop.mgr. not there) that my g/f isn’t paying the rent. So roomie gives mgr my number to talk to my g/f here. Oh, someone didn’t mention anything about the OUTFUCKINGRAGEOUS power bill that was due. The asst mgr just left it as, “I don’t want in the middle of this, talk to prop. mgr. tomorrow.” I don’t blame her.
Now, I have wanted to talk to the roomie and point out that if you break rules you have to pay. But, because of my g/f, I’m ‘biased’ and whatever I say isn’t correct. Yes, I am going to side with my g/f, naturally, but if she does something wrong, I would let her know, and have in the past. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it. Hell, my mother never took up for me if I did something wrong.
Any Ideas? I looked for the revenge thread that was here a while back about putting toothpicks in car doors and stuff. My g/f suggested that they get a mediator to talk to, but I have no idea on how to get that done. Personally I think the bitch should die a slow rotting death, but I’m told that won’t solve anything.
Thanks for listening, and I know that plenty of you will have good ideas. And if perchance you want to do something bad to the roomie, I’ll buy you beer after it’s done 
hehheh IT’S A JOKE, OK?
-great, now she’ll die and it’ll be my fault.
Oh, a couple more things - roomie is charged a $300 pet violation fee and is going to be evicted as soon as my g/f can find a replacement… that is tough to do.
