A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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

Get back here!
Today, I texted my flatmate to ask him when he would be paying his portion of the rent, since he has told me he would be late this month. He wrote back to inform me that he had moved out last night while I was away, and that he won't be paying me anything. FML

Today, my roommate and I received a non-payment notice from our landlord, over a dishonored check that was used to pay the rent. I give my roommate money for my share and she handles the checks. Apparently, her trip to Puerto Rico was more important than paying rent. FML

Today, my roommate found an eviction notice on our door for unpaid rent. Our apartment building caught fire and we haven't been living there for well over a month because it was legally unlivable. Today was our first day back. 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, my roommate and I were watching TV, and he ordered a pizza. After it was delivered, I took a slice. He yelled at me for taking his food and told me to stop mooching off him. I had to cover his rent last month and he still hasn't paid me back. FML

Today, my roommate played a crazy April Fool's joke on me by not paying his rent this month. Good one. FML

Today, my roommate admitted he spent his half of the rent money on a tattoo. It's all good though, we're just gonna get evicted. 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 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

Either he's a freeloader or he's trying really hard to cough up the money for the rent.

Move out? Really? You know usually when you sign a lease you are there for a Year or what ever is agreed upon. One month at his/her new living arrangement and move out is your brilliant solution? Problem solved...

Keyword "usually" - I have friends who pay month to month on a decent looking place well below value, they've been at the location for about 6-7 months now with no interest in signing a lease and neither does the landlord. The solution is still stupid, though. The first thing you do is pay your half of the rent and ask your landlord to give you 2-3 days extension for your roommate and if he doesn't show that you'll pay it for him. This does a few things for you, it shows your landlord that YOU are responsible [should you choose to remain living their] and that you're attempting to take responsibility for your roommate. If your roommate doesn't show up [who knows maybe something just happened] you pay that portion of the rent and than sell off some of his more expensive BUT REPLACEABLE items to make up what is owed. If you sell his TV its his own damn fault, but, if you sell his antique pocket watch from his great grandfather you're probably going to get your ass beat.. Once this is settled you use the time to look for a new roommate. Should your roommate reappear with an excuse that isn't incredibly amazing, you tell him you would like him to move out. If you signed a lease with both your names on it you're in a stickier situation but i'm sure you can find some way.

Throw a towel or sheet over it next time. Don't be such a moron who is subconsciously begging for a moral compass.

Throw his stuff out the window & then move out ASAP so that you're nowhere to be found.
