Today, I was on my couch when my landlord walked in. He asked what I was doing there. I responded with the same question. Apparently my roommate forgot to call me and tell me that our lease ended three days ago. I am now standing in the parking lot with all my belongings, and it is raining. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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
Today, after waiting two hours for my landlord to leave so I could take a shit in peace, I sat down on the toilet. The doorbell immediately rang. It was my landlord, who wanted to let me know that he had just backed into my car. FML
Today, the lease on my house ended and I finished moving in with my girlfriend. After everything was moved in, she broke up with me. Hello homelessness. FML
Today, after my housemate handed in his notice to vacate without telling me beforehand, I had few days whilst working to make a decision to stay or vacate. In a panic, I chose vacate. On my day off I sat down with my finances and discovered I can't afford elsewhere. I asked to stay, my landlord put up rent by 50%. I might now become homeless. FML
Today, my landlord started showing my apartment, where I have lived and paid rent for over 2 years, to prospective tenants. I didn't realize that I was moving. FML
Today, my landlord sold the apartment I’ve been renting for 10 years without telling me. I found this out when the new owners showed up at the door with boxes. FML
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, my landlord came over while I wasn't home. My friend and her pets were thrown out by her husband. I'm the only person she knows in this state and she begged me to stay. I reluctantly told her fine; just don't answer the door. She did, with the animals, and told him she was living here. FML
Today, our landlord showed up with police and legal paperwork that let him throw us out immediately. Apparently my husband has been ignoring eviction notices for months and having vicious arguments with the landlord. Now we’re homeless and everything we own is in storage. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's how the FMLs are written.... doesn't mean that he is currently sitting outside in the rain right now. He is probably describing the situation when it happened. THINK!

Didn't you notice your roommate had moved out with all his stuff three days ago? And why is your landlord so uncompromising? He just made you move all your stuff out? Is your place in terrible condition or something? This is definitely a YDI.

hes probably just exagerrating, well lieing when he says in carpark but still fYL indeed, and screw the heartless landlord for throwing you like that on the spot

More importantly, how did he have NO IDEA when his lease ended? That's just irresponsible renting and pretty deserved.

He probably has an iPhone or something and stealing someone's Wifi.

No, if he was in this situation, he wouldn't just up and leave to go post it on fmylife.com. It's far more likely that this happened a while ago, and the OP only posted it today, but of course you MUST for some reason start all FMLs with the word "Today"

OR he could have a blackberry or motoQ and be using the internet that goes through the cell phone towers. most phones get that now

Landlord cannot just evict you, even if the lease ends. He/she will need to go through a court procedure to have you thrown out. So you could've stayed. Buy, YDI indeed for not knowing your lease terms.

THANK YOU! I can't believe how stupid some people are.

The problem is that the OP says "I am NOW standing..." (emphasis mine). You typically don't say now when you meant a few hours ago. However, common sense would suggest that the OP is just exaggerating about that or possibly using his/her phone.

Well, all FMLs have to start with "today," even if they didn't happen that day. It's not too much of a stretch to change the tense of the FML to *right now* even if it happened a while ago.

Could be on his phone. (;

Wow that really sucks, I hope everything eventually works out! :)

Well, FYL for that happening, but YDI, also... that's why you don't rely 100% on other people. C'mon, step up a little... Keep an eye on that stuff... Though, FYL more than anything for douchey room mate.

I was wondering the same thing. Wouldn't all his roommates stuff be moved out... and wouldn't the OP get a little curious as to why?

Maybe you should put your phone or whatever away & get your stuff in the car, (:

If all your roommate's belongings were outside as well, I'd hide them... just to show my appreciation towards their awesome sense of communication.

#13 YDI for not thinking the roommate removed their stuff earlier. stupid idiot. you're almost as horrible as the OP. i hope you choke on a cow **** and die
ForestFire0 1
hey #17, only you suck bull ****, that's not normal, no matter what that farmer says. Also, I think there's a pretty good chance that the roommate didn't move out yet, otherwise the OP would have been tipped off to that fact that something was happening. Yeah, he might be a dumb ass who isn't bothered by half the furniture being gone. But maybe the roommate hasn't moved either or the OP owned most of the furniture and didn't even notice the roommate's toaster was gone. Instead of being a a douche to random people on the internet because you're a cowardly prick in the real world, why don't you work on getting the other half of your brain, since you're clearly missing at least that much.

...If the lease is over, they both have to leave. If the roommate knew the lease was over he probably did move out already.

You know bloodthorn, I can't really deserve it if I'm not the one telling the FML. And I'm thinking if that's the way you talk to girls then a lot of them probably don't like you. And I was going for sarcastic humor to be honest, douchebag.
