Today, my roommates told me they want me to move out of our apartment. We would have never gotten the apartment without my credit score, and most of the furniture is mine. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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, all of my roommates handed in their vacating notice unexpectedly. They are all moving to a new house together in two weeks, leaving me to be either homeless or forced to pay 4 times what I was paying in rent. FML
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 roommates they have to go get jobs, because I can't afford to support them or their bad habits any more. They responded by pawning all my DVDs for cash to buy cigarettes. 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, I found out my roommates spent my rent money and told the landlord I never paid. I've paid my rent and theirs the past six months. My name's on the lease. FML
Today, my mother kicked me out of the house because her new boyfriend needs my room. Evidently he also needs my credit card, passport, and wallet too, because she kept all three, while tossing everything else out on the lawn. 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, after telling my parents just exactly what I thought of them and that I was moving out, the person I was supposed to move in with called to say they'd decided they would rather live alone. FML
Today, I'm being evicted from my apartment for not paying rent. My father is the on-site landlord, meaning I now have to move my stuff downstairs into his place, and hear every day how I'm a failure. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Take all the furniture with you. If it's yours than there's nothing they can do. After that they'll regret asking you to move out.

get off the lease and take your stuff. they'll be screwed and probably out of an apartment

#38 you are correct OP needs to talk to the apartment manger/owner about breaking the lease and at what cost. When that’s arranged move the furniture when they are out. What a smile will come to your face when you think back to what their faces looked like coming back to empty space. LOL

I really want a follow-up for this FML. The roommates are screwing themselves over by asking him/her to leave. I just want to know whether OP kicked them out instead and kept living there or left with all the furniture and got them kicked out afterwards since it was because of OP's credit score they were living there to begin with.

They want me to move out, I am not necessarily kicked out... Yet. The lease doesn't end until April and we are all on it. Their credit has gone up since we moved in (we are college students, they had zero before), so that doesn't protect me because they can reapply and qualify now. The only problem is only with one of the roommates. The other just wants to stay with the apartment and doesn't care who else stays. If I leave I am taking my furniture. Its just a hassle to move (upper floor, no elevator, narrow stairs).

You can always compete with them to keep it for a new lease (just have to get roommates to cover their end). They do not get to keep the apartment just because they say so.

So...how could they "kick you out" if they wanted to? I don't see any way they could.

So they are technically unable to kick you out because your name is also on the lease. If you still like the place and want to live there, maybe you could talk with the other roommate and agree to go to the landlord and make up a deal to renew the lease with just yours and the one other roommates names on the lease. That way the other guy has to leave?

call the police and say they broke in and made your home theirs.

That's called Filing a False Report and is punishable by law. Don't lie.

Take your furniture and take your name of the lease or rental agreement.

It's your credit, so your place. Kick them out. Find better roommates.

Wouldn't it be under your name then?

Then tell them to **** OFF, remind them of this, and then proceed to shoved their high-horse asses OUTTA THAT DOOR!

Well first off if it's your credit then it's in your name and they'll have to submit their own credit scores which apparently won't be good enough. You might want to contact your land lord.

if the apartment is in your name you can kick them out and keep the furniture!
