I Want You (She's So Heavy)

Today, my flatmate has gotten so obese that she's breaking through the solid wood floors just by walking barefoot. She refuses to diet, and we're never getting our deposit back on this place. FML

I’d be complaining about the weak flooring rather than your big flatmate. A person would have to be verrry heavy to literally break good flooring just by walking on it

A damage deposit only covers minor damage. A landlord could sue you for the major damages you cause. Get some hidden camera video of your fatmate breaking floorboards so you can throw her under the bus during your trial.

I feel like the floor literally breaking under you would be ground to sue your landlord not the other way around. floors are meant to support grown men

They can still only withstand certain weight limits. No clue in the weight here but renters insurance will at least give some relief.

If your flooring can't support one fat person, what's it supposed to do if you have guests over? Your flooring is the problem, not your roommate--the floor should be able to hold all sorts of things, including a fat human. Get the landlord involved, because someone did a shit job setting your floors up.

I'd never expect to get a deposit back. Landlords are professionals in finding says to make sure you never do.

I hope you have renters insurance. if not get it.

Your roommate would have to be a literal elephant to do that. That's shitty architecture no matter how you slice it.
