Anyone ever had room-mate who would run away every time the rent was due. How did u guys deal with you? He has a good-paying job but does count every penny and nickels.

Everytime I want to involve the cops, I tell myself he's a fellow countryman.

How did u guys deal with it?

uday ji! cops doesnn't charge for a restriction order.Good luck!

Dude......why are you taking such a crap out of him....if he doen't think you as a "countryman"...........why should you care.......you already stated that he makes good living.....have him live alone......somehow have a money to pay for extra month and tell the apartment that you can not fulfill the whole lease........normally they will let you out paying extra month of rent.....if you stay with him, he sure will make you more broke....apart from that........talk about the mental tension that you will endure living with that "penny pincher"

doen't = doesn't (corrected)

ask apartment manager to change lock for "security reason" .. make your own story. you will be charged $20 or so. keep key to yourself.. ask him to leave!

Uday bro,
If u are in lease and he is not then u have rights for anything. He cannot sue you at all. Like Madhesi mentioned you can ask your apartment manager to change the lock, if you don't wanna pay for the lock then you can tell your apartment manager that your car got broken into and stole your apartment keys, there is 99% chances they will change the lock for free. And also while talking with your Manager tell her/him that nobody has permission to enter in the apartment, this will prvent your roommate to get the keys from manager.

Just in case your roommate is in lease, go and talk to your apt manager again and tell them that from now you will be paying your part only, this will led your apt manager to send him letter about his part or ask him to terminate the lease.

There is nothing to be scared- if your roommate is not in a lease then you got the jackpot-you can even call cops and they will take your roommate away or get the apt keys from him/her.

Thanks all, I told the manager earlier and he wanted $30 to put on a new lock and advised me to call the cops on him. Should have used the excuse of car getting broken into. didn't think then :(

I am going to write to his parents who think their son is the greatest person on earth. Besides that I might as well pay $30 and get rid of him forever.

Good Luck U day. Hopefully you got rid of the parasite.

I wrote this story about a room mate quite a while ago.
Issue is quite different than presented in this thread.
I sympathize with you bro...

Hi, I guess he loves job rather than your room. Hence, take a week vacation, and play music all night. it is easy, he will move in a few days, once he need to sleep peacefully.
How's that!!!!!!!!!

"I am going to write to his parents who think their son is the greatest person on earth." uday plzzzz grow up!!!!the parents doesn't have to know about this !!!!

and no matter wat u say to his parents...they're still gonna say the same thing....that their son is good....i mean come on they're HIS parents...

I was kidding earlier message. don't disturb any body, I am sure you will come to negotiation after a nice debate and you guys will have the conclusion. It is not bad to ask sorry.If you lose something, you will gain something as well. Nothing is harder, he that is worm, thinks all are so (APHU KHUSHI JAGTAI KHUSHI).
Thank you,

come on guys, give him some sensible suggestions. i would go with gallant's suggestion.

if i were you, u-day, this is how I would deal with this situation:

Take my roommate out to bar or a cafe, buy him a beer/coffee or whatever he wants to drink and talk to him about it. you know, everything can be resolved with a bit of talking. Instead of living with hatred and bitterness, which in turn would make your life bitter, just tell him nicely- "hey dude, you need to pay the rent. i am a student, i need money. " then if he is a sensible person, he would understand it, and pay you, if he's not, he'll make an excuse. then you know he's not sensible and not worth living with. just tell this to him up front, and start looking for a new roommate. bekkar ma lock change yeta uta garera tauko dukhaunu bhanda, kura garnu is the best way. believe me, it works. having lived with roommates for almost 10 years (on and off) now, I am talking from my experience.

easy

talk, if doesn't work, call cops... but don't hang on to it and make your life miserable.. dude

I would suggest you attempt to talk it out with your roomate..if that fails then suggest that he leave.

Uday Uncle...
Whatta dilemma!!
Chyap Samatera Thokdeu na -- Karang bhachine gari!!! hehe...
Well, I also think you should talk before usin' your fist... eh...

U_day bro waiting to hear from you...... has he moved out yet ???

The thread's still going strong.

Yea he finally moved out (phew! a big relief).

I feel sorry for the other Nepali guy he moved in with, I think I will stick to having American room-mates. Too bad an experience. Will move with a Nepali but only after a detailed careful investigation, this one gave me tooooooo much trouble to last a lifetime.

Should I tell the guy he moved in with about his excuses when it comes to giving rent?

Yay....he moved out. Have a toast!

Its f*c*ing hilarious though that he's leeched on to another Nepali guy. This guy needs to get a life and act like a man. If I were you, I'd warn this other guy about his excuses (however, I wouldn't do anything to get him bounced back to my place)

U_Day bro wow what a reliefe ........... If you know his new room mate well then go ahead and tell him, if not then leave it. He might think that you are spreading bad rumors about his new roommate (your ex). It's all up to you........... Peace Out.........
