Need to confront my roommate

Oh fuck god I'm in a similar boat. Thankfully for me, the roommate has a mother that'll continue to fund him.

He sounds lazy. He needs to figure out it's not free to live there and tell him to get a job and you're not paying the other half. Also, just because you CAN pay both half's doesn't mean you should.

He's not even paying half. He's paying $400 a month. I'm covering the other 2/3rds of the house.

Then wtf are you doing. Dude i know you don't want to kick him out but that's really the only option unless he gets a fucking job

That nigga needs to be gone, son. You don't suggest shit to him.

>If this happens again, I'm starting the eviction notice. I've been polite but these incidents have been going on for eight months and either you need to fulfill your responsibilities or I'll find another tenant that can.

He's a quiet, manageable dude. At my age (30), I'm not really going to find another tenant that isn't a pain in the ass to get to know and everything.

I'd rather have the $4,800 than kick him out, even if it's late. But I'd still like to get paid, or trust that I'm getting paid.

Again, my conscience is holding me back here, too.

It's had to find a good long term job these days. I know you want the money but what if he did chores for you? 5 bucks to wash your dishes, 10 bucks to do your laundry, couple bucks to run errands? It's a start to helping him pay you back.

He's 33 years old, and has experience working in the airforce, in IT, and in retail/customer service. I actually met him at work (six years ago), which is why I thought he would be a suitable roommate. He originally moved in to save money after a divorce and a roommate that had no money. I've since tripled my income, and he has continued to bounce from job to job.

Is he qualified to work where you work? Why not try to help him find a stable job?
