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

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

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.

True, they can't kick you out like that. If they do, take all your furniture with you, they'll probably ask you to stay.

I'd leave, but take all my furniture with me, as well as notify the building manager/landlord that I was moving out, so they should do a credit re-evaluation on the remaining tenants.

That's true #16, but if they only got the apartment because of OP's credit score, then they'll probably get kicked out. Taking the furniture would just an added bonus of revenge.

If their name is on the lease then that contributes to their credit score and rental history so they may actually have a good scoring now after living there. So take your furniture and request your bond back from the real estate

Break the lease if won't affect your credit score and won't cost too much to do...

And inform the landlord. If it was your score that did it, the landlord won't want them there. You also don't want to leave people like that with a lease in your name. Take everything, OP. Everything. And have your friends help so they can't keep you from taking your stuff. Get as many big guys as you can to back you up.

@33, keeping that in mind, they might only have asked him to share the apartment with them because of his credit score. They probably had every intention of kicking him out after the lease was signed

Actually, no. Leave and take all your things with you. They'll see how much they need you after a week. Make them BEG! :)

And after they beg, still don't go back. Those assholes can fend for themselves after that.

The only thing I'm baffled about is: why would they want to get rid of their doormat? OP, start standing your ground there!

You should get new roommates!

I'd flip a table on them. My table.

Get going, take your furniture and leave them lonely!

Take the furniture to your new place and laugh when they get kicked out once the landlord finds out
adrian1910 15
Finds out what?
Dgarcia2014 13
That the tenants without the nice credit score are the ones living there! Also, I'm sure OP is the one whose name is on most of the paperwork. The roommates should be the ones to move, actually.

Move out. Take everything. Find better, cooler roommates!

If it's your credit check that was used, doesn't that mean you have to stay for the lease? Get those 'friends' out and get others in!!

Anyone over 18 has their credit and background run and therefore is put on the lease. The better the credit the lower the deposit. So all of them would be on the lease unless otherwise noted. I know this because I just got an apartment and every one we looked at did the same thing. And depending on the lease you're kind of screwed but maybe she can talk to management
