I would like people's opinions on the following matter. Thank you in advance!
Back in the fall this girl I know lost her apartment, and therefore was homeless and asked if she could crash on our couch for a few weeks. Of course, being the nice people we are, we said yes.
During this time she kept "loosing" apartments because they just randomly wouldn't call her back.. EVERY time. It seemed really weird to me. But then, she broke up with her boyfriend and announced she was dating my roommate. Umm, ok... to me it seems like she didn't get those apartments because she didn't want to move in with her boyfriend, and she wanted to date my roommate instead. I think what she did was pretty shitty to her now ex boyfriend, and I hate it when people are not upfront with me - but I let it slide. I had no proof, but I'm wondering if anyone else thinks that maybe, just maybe she never planned on finding the new place.
When she started dating my asshole roommate, he sent me a facebook message asking if it would be ok. I said sure, if it was ok with everyone else. He did not ask everyone else, he TOLD everyone else. Soon she moved a bunch of her things in, her cat in, and her and her new boyfriend took over the main floor. The kitchen became unbearable, the place was always terribly dirty, and she placed her kitty litter next to the kitchen so that the whole house smelled like cat shit.
December 1st rolled around, and assuming that we were continuing to share rent with everyone in the house, myself, my sister, and our good roommate gave what we believed to be our share of the rent money to the asshole and his new girlfriend. He then proceeded to flip out saying we were not allowed to charge her rent, that he was going to take our money and leave, that he would start charging us rent for being in the living room, charge us money for using his xbox, which he previously told everyone to use whenever they wanted, and that he could have 18 people live in his room and there was nothing we could do about it.. and more, but you know, that sums it up. Needless to say, I was outvoted and was forced to let his girlfriend live for FREE in MY place.
I'm not going to lie, this has caused DEEP resentment with me, and with the other roommates. None of us want to associate with asshole and his girl, and they prance around like they fucking own the place. Little things I let slide before, I don't let slide anymore. I mean sure, with a friend I might be willing to overlook these things, but not anymore.
Recently I posted a note saying they had to move the kitty litter out of the main room. They did. Thankfully.
I've also posted notes about leaving the lights on, and leaving the front door wide open - as I've come downstairs many times at all hours of the day including around 6am in the morning and the door is wide open. TC and I don't leave our rooms mostly, Chris works nights and doesn't come home until around 8:30am ish, and I ALWAYS make sure the door is closed, but yet so many times the door is wide open, which is unacceptable since once already this year our house was broken into.
Today I posted another note, the girlfriend always hangs out on the main floor, it's basically her room, which she gets for FREE, but don't get me started on that again. Anyways, she often plays music and sings along, really loud. Today it was the end of the line for me. The music woke me up from my nap, and as I previously mentioned Chris, the good roommate, he works nights so he was sleeping. How rude can you be to blast music in the middle of the day when you know someone is sleeping because he works really long hours? Fuck, it made me so mad.
This is all just the tip if the iceberg with them. They believe they fucking own everything. The kitchen is always overflowing with their dishes, they use my oil, my maragarine, they drank my cranberry gingerale. They ate Chris' steaks, and then they asked him to pay for some of their food when they shared it with him. They destroyed TC's kettle, they destroyed my sugar bin, and part of the stove. They have late night D&D sessions EVERY Sunday, which keeps me up, and afterwards there is always pop and snacks, including chocolate laying around the living room, which can kill my dog. They're slobs and assholes in my opinion.
What is your opinion?

Bit of a late reply but I was beginning to wonder if I would ever see another post in your blog. Glad I did, but not glad about the content.
As I was reading I was thinking "damn, the roommates of yours that I met seemed really cool and decent, wo which one did the 180?" then I realized I only met 2 of the 3 guys, so I'm assuming it's the 3rd one who is the culprit.
I think I've heard of this kind of thing before, and I can say for sure I've heard enough stories about single people living with couples and how they 'take over' and act like they own the place. It's no better that she was brought in off the street and is getting away with highway robbery by the sound.
I may be stupid and naive here, but is there no way you can get her kicked out? Like if you are on a lease, you can't just bring someone new in without them signing a lease as well right? and that would mean they have to pay too? Or is this "under the radar" of the property owner?
I guess it's pretty obvious that she is bad news and needs to go but if it's not that simple then I don't know what to say. That really sucks... But I suppose the bright side is that when she does finally get hers... she'll get it hard. Doesn't sound like she's got anywhere else to run... so when the jig is up, she better have some really warm winter clothes to sleep outside in.
Well I'm really sorry to hear about this. For all I know things have been worked out one way or another since you posted, but I'm guessing not. I would like to know though.
