A situation

So I'm cosigned onto a lease and my roomate is consistently irresponsible about the rent. It's a one bedroom apartment where I made my room in a sort of office space with no door.

After having to pay the full rent on my own I demanded we switch rooms. He refused. So I'm taking my name off the lease and he can do it on his own. I get to utilize the place for the month then I'm back to living in a tent. Fine by me. I like the outdoors and I have a whole month to find a good spot.

But am I the unreasonable one here?

I think if you’ve given him multiple chances, you’ve done the right thing.

@DaveMarx. I think in this situation it’s standing up for yourself. I hope that you have better luck with any future roommates.

@DaveMarx

I don’t think you’re being unreasonable. 

You’re setting boundaries. 

Also, you know you can live without a roommate as you’ve been consistently taking care of the bills.
