Her Roommate Started Talking About Her Personal Habits And Claiming To Hate Her Online, So She Announced She Would Be Moving Out
This 21-year-old woman currently works full-time and lives in an apartment with her roommate– who is a 22-year-old guy.
As soon as the lease is up, though, she plans to move out due to some serious roommate conflict.
But first, for background on her, she realizes that she is not home enough to do anything besides laundry, play games, and get some sleep. She is also fully aware that she has some habits that can occasionally be annoying.
For instance, she plays music whenever she cleans and leaves laundry in a basket in the bathroom. Plus, if she is too tired, she sometimes won’t complete chores.
“But I’ve made it clear from the beginning that if I do something to annoy my roommate, please tell me, as it hurts me more if you say nothing about it,” she explained.
Her roommate never wound up communicating any issues with her, though. Instead, just a few weeks ago, she found out from a good friend that her roommate had been talking about how much he hated her on a public Discord server. On that same server, her roommate also discussed her personal home habits.
Obviously, this made her extremely uncomfortable– especially because she had asked her roommate to just be honest with how he felt.
On top of that, she thought it was really disrespectful of her roommate to talk about her private life with not only his large group of friends but also anyone else who saw the thread on the internet.
“I wouldn’t mind if he was venting to a small group of friends, but my friends were able to come across it and read it,” she said.

“That’s where it seems cruel.”
And after what happened a few weeks ago– when her roommate made uncomfortable comments about her good friend’s cultural practices– this was her last straw.
So, with the lease renewal date coming up, she decided that she would just be moving out instead of signing again. She plans to move to her best friend’s place in a different city where she will start her studies.
She even gave her roommate two months’ notice of her move out too. That way, he would not be thrown off and searching for a new tenant at the last minute.
Her roommate did not waste any time looking for someone to replace her, though, and even brought in a prospective tenant to look at the apartment last weekend.
And while she was confused about her roommate starting the search so early, she decided not to question it. After all, it is his choice.
Well, that was until her roommate actually told her that she needed to move out two weeks before their lease renewal– because, apparently, he wanted to move all of his stuff into her bedroom and have the new tenant move into his current room.
She refused to do that, though, and put her foot down. She pointed out how it was her legal right to remain in the apartment– and on the lease– until the lease renewal.
“I also mentioned I would seek legal consult if he insists because this would put me in an awkward position– as I can’t leave the city until a certain date due to prior commitments,” she added.
After that conversation, she also began moving all of her personal belongings into her bedroom to get packed up; meanwhile, she left the furniture out in the lounge.
As soon as she removed her items, though, her roommate started reorganizing the whole lounge layout. And even though this would have been fine, he also began setting up a TV system on her cabinet– which her roommate did not ask to keep.
This really annoyed her since it was apparent her roommate had just assumed he would get to take the cabinet. So, instead of talking to him about it, she decided to just go ahead and list all of the furniture she bought on Facebook Marketplace.
Still, she hasn’t been able to stop thinking about all of the drama with her roommate. And now, she’s wondering if telling her roommate she’s moving out was the wrong way to handle it.
How would you feel if you found out your roommate was badmouthing you online? Do you think it’s best that she moves out? Should she feel guilty about this decision or not?
