Money, Drunk, Roommate and Cars: Today, my roommate wants to kick me out because I can't afford...

Today, my roommate wants to kick me out because I can't afford to pay my share of the rent this month. I couldn't afford to, because I had to pay for repairs to my car after my roommate got drunk, stole my keys, and crashed it into a street light. FML

Today, I told my roommate she had to pay $55 to replace a piece of the oven she broke. She told me I was being selfish and decided to illegally break our lease because I was, "making her feel unsafe." Now I not only have to pay for the oven repair, I also have to pay her next two month's rent. FML

Today, my second roommate in less then a week got a DUI. Both roommates are demanding that I drive them around for free until they get their licenses back, or else they won't have the funds to pay their rent. FML

Today, I found out my roomie has lost her only source of income. This means I'm responsible for all the bills and the rent. I would kick her out and get someone else, but she's my mother. 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, I spent my remaining cash on a doctor's visit, only to find out that at the age of 22, I'm getting major health problems brought on by stress. I came home to relax, only to find out my roommate can't pay his rent, and needs me to cover for him so we don't get evicted. FML

Worst roommate ever

Tonday, I spent the night in my car because I didn’t want to go home as I just gave my roommate a 30-day eviction notice. My girlfriend is spending the night at a friend's, and I’m too cheap to get a hotel room. FML

Today, my roommate asked me to lock the door as we left our place. I told her to use my keys, because my hands were full. Afterwards, she and her boyfriend set off out of town for the next couple of days. She forgot to give me back my keys. FML

Today, I finally got my paycheck that I could enjoy $300 for myself after taking care of my bills with so many other ones. Then, I find out that the water was shut off, which is supposed to be my roommate's responsibility. Apparently, he has not paid it in months, and they want $288. FML

Shouldn't you have made him pay for the car?

I expect you're going to be moving out shortly because it doesn't appear you're able to man up and address the issues as they arise. He was in the wrong and you're paying the repairs? he's left you cash short, and you're going to leave the house?

This sounds like it could be a court case Judge Judy would need to solve. *Insert Judge Judy Theme*

Judge Judy would say rent is rent, even if he crashed your car, you have an agreement to pay rent, and the car situation is a separate situation. If you agreed to pay for the car instead of rent, then yeah, but you still have a contract/agreement to pay rent, with or without crashing cars. Hard to accept how that's considered fair, but that's how she would handle it.

I'd move out, you don't need that dick in your life

I'd personally kick his/her ass out and find a new roommate. I have no respect for people who drive while under the influence. Call me an asshole if you want but I've lost some of the closest people in my life to a drunk driver.

Sounds like you'd be better off without him. If he stole your keys, crashed your car, and didn't offer to pay for it after he sobered up, then he has no business being in your life.
