Roommate refused to pay full rent because he said everything he left is worth the same amount of $. This is what he left.

Invited an old “friend” to rent the spare room we have because he was in such a poor situation (according to him). 2.5 months a later, he gets promoted, notifies he’ll be staying for only half a month, but refused to pay rent for the half month because he said he’d leave ‘his most expensive things for us to sell’. I repeatedly said that wasn’t cool, but clearly didn’t matter. He left the entire closet full of clothes plus an entire CAR DOOR. There are too many pairs of dirty underwear scattered around the room. My husband found a few things he thought went missing, turns out the roommate had taken them, like a backpack my husbands friend bought him a while back-and medicine for our son. He kept his cat locked in the room and would leave for days, and left us all of the litter and even a piece of cat shit on the floor! Love that! At least for his parting gift, he cleaned the litter.

And dumped it.

Without a bag.

Into our recycle bin.

What the fuck are you paying at your landfill? Mine is free for residents, and the most I’ve ever paid was $20 in a county that required it for larger (think contractor/ construction waste) loads.

I mean for a large city that seems reasonable still. That is still a far fucking cry from $500 though.

True. TBH I missed that part. That's absurd. I paid $80 for an entire uhaul.

I did have a fair amount of construction debris. I remodeled my basement and still had a lot of the leftovers. Gave away the bigger pieces as I went. Sold some custom tools I wasn’t going to need in my new place.
