Today, my boyfriend moved out and took all his things with him. He also took some things that didn't belong to him, namely my rent money. My landlord comes tomorrow. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I returned from a week-long vacation. My landlord told me he had let my boyfriend in my apartment to get something. I don't have a boyfriend. Everything in my apartment is gone. FML
Today, I came home to found all of my belongings out on the street. My roommate, who is also my brother, apparantly neglected to pay his part of the rent, and we got evicted. FML
Today, my asshole of a roommate finally decided to move out. Not only did he take his belongings with him, he took some of mine as well. Including my dog. FML
Today, I received an eviction notice taped to my door stating my landlord is selling his property and moving out of the country in 13 days. My landlord is my boyfriend. FML
Today, my roommate of a year and good friend of several more decided to move out. When I came home from a long work shift, I found all the cupboards emptied out of everything, including all the new stuff I bought to replace what she was going to take with her. FML
Today, my roommate is being evicted. Since we had some very good memories together, I was sad to come home and see all of her stuff gone...and half of my stuff, too. FML
Today, my landlord's control issue got out of control when I got a call telling me I have "too much stuff" and have to move out of the apartment. I sold all my furniture when I moved in and all I currently own is a scratch post, a chair and a pair of curtains. FML
Today, my boyfriend moved. He moved from my room... to my housemate's room. FML
Today, I came back to my apartment after moving most of my stuff out. Upon returning, I learned that my now ex-roommate drank all of my alcohol and threw away my things, thinking that I had forgotten them. FML
Today, my newly ex-fiancé, the father of my 5-year-old child, moved out of state with no warning. I just spent my last $500 paying off his car, and the rent is due tomorrow. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

How cheap of him!

Would the Keystoner Cops consider this a civil matter though? I feel for OP and that's so low to do something like that. As much as it sucks, better to find out now what a Loser POS he is than later.

(I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice and what are you doing taking legal advice from some rando on FML anyway?) Theft of her property (i.e. the items other than the rent money) would be considered a criminal matter and at the very least the police will assist her in getting her stuff back if possible. If the boyfriend's name is on the lease then he's responsible for coming up with his half of the rent, and that's a civil matter. Small claims court is probably the appropriate venue for that, depending on the limit for small claims in OP's state. (If OP lives in a place with expensive rent, and the lease and/or applicable state law make the tenant liable for the rent through the end of the lease term, and it's early into the life of the lease, the amount at issue could be into five figures.)

I hope there's an "x" somewhere in there. Like the "Patient X" they're going to put on his chart after you and your buddies have beaten him up.

If your landlord's coming tomorrow, that might cover your rent for the month. ;) Call him "Big Daddy" and you might find a way to stop using money for rent altogether.

That would be extremely awkward if the landlord is a women. Unless she's a bull dyke...

#41, unless you have an addiction to Mary Kay cosmetics and can't have a paper trail showing where all that money is going. There are exceptions, right?

FYL and everything, but there are still people who pay their rent in cash?

AIUI it's not uncommon in the Boston area. Much of the rental housing stock is located in 2- and 3-family houses (the 3-families are called "three-deckers") that are owned by small-time individual investors. Often, the landlord lives in one of the units. In cases like this, it's not uncommon for the tenant to pay rent in cash, especially so-called "unbanked" individuals.

It's fairly common here too. A lot of people work can jobs in the side, or day labor, plus many these days don't trust the banking system, so they do most or all of their transactions in cash. My landlord with take direct bank transfers or cash only, as checks don't clear immediately and deadbeat tenants are known to write bad checks to buy themselves time.

my step mom pays rent and bills in cash sometimes, because she gets most of it from tips at work. its easier to go home with $80 in cash rather than run to the bank at 3am.

my apartment complex requires tenants to pay in money order or the landlord won't accept it
