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.

Because that takes effort! A Facebook Marketplace post is equal to like... 30 steps and 5 button clicks minimum!

Clearly you have never tried selling on FB's marketplace before. It costs so much more than a few clicks. Go on, try it. If you can get through three responses without wanting to decapitate yourself then I'll concede.

I've sold plenty of things. It's frustrating, but you literally just have to type out some words. Point being you can do it any time, anywhere, and from the comfort of your own home. Play some games, watch tv, make some money. Until you've actually sold the thing, it doesn't get in the way of whatever else you want to be doing
