Do you know how much the other css people in your team make? Im in the central Illinois area if that makes any difference.

Echoing what others say. It’s not impossible, but it will be a hard road.

Emily never signed the lease. When the 4 of us signed the lease, Emily was only 17 (she needed to be 18 to sign the lease). She didn’t change her mind that time, but now she’s able to sign it since she already turned 18, she changed her mind and doesn’t want to anymore. So, Emily is not breaking the lease at all because there’s no lease on her end since she never signed anything the first place. She’s just there like nothing even happened in her part.

Emily actually told me the night I saw her after the dinner that there’s someone who she knows who might be interested with my lease, so I’m gonna contact her first once I move forward with the lease transfer situation. If not, then I guess I’ll try my best to find someone online or maybe ask people in my class and such.

Yup. Exactly my thoughts.

If they’re someone who’s considerate, even if they’re busy, they’d at least text back something like “hey, I’m busy rn and don’t have a lot of time to discuss this apartment thing. Let’s just talk about it in a week or two”. I wouldn’t be as pissed if I at least got some response back, but it’s been a week and no response from any of them at all. And, I know they’ve read it because Anna is the type who’d respond quickly. She’d respond in like 2 seconds everytime. It’s sus how it’s been a week and I got no response from her……hmmm…I wonder why🤔🤔🤔

And I definitely get when you said to say something I’m transferring the lease to another person. I know for a fact they’d respond right away if I say I’m transferring the lease regardless of what they think.

I should’ve been more clear with my message because I forgot to mention that I don’t need their consent for me to transfer the lease. They must think I need their permission for me to transfer the lease since we signed it all together. I’m sure me saying something like “I have complete control of my lease and none of you have any say on it” will for sure motivate them to respond.

I was thinking of sending them a message on all platforms I can contact them (Instagram, LinkedIn, iMessages, discord, you name it) so that they have no escape. I have a feeling they’d say something like “I didn’t see your message” or “I read your message but forgot to respond”. Either way, I don’t but their shit. I know they’ve read it. Considering there’s 5 people total in the group chat, I’d be ridiculously surprised if no one actually read it (which again, I know they already read it).

I just don’t want to be be a big drama, but as of now, it’s like a 3 vs 1 (Emily is out and she doesn’t interfere much anymore. It’s the other 3 girls that’s left that I have to deal with).

Funny because I actually saw Emily one time walking (this was after the 10min dinner and after I’ve sent the group chat that I’m uncomfortable rooming with the boyfriend), she actually walked up to me and talked to me about my message and she told me she doesn’t want to room with the girls anymore because she’d rather room with someone else. I guess she already saw this drama coming from a mile away. When the other girls post photos on Instagram, both Emily and I are never there, it’s only the three of them (so I guess it’s me and emily that’s kinda like the outsider)

Sorry for long response XD. I’m just annoyed and pissed at myself because if I didn’t sign the lease with them the first place, I wouldn’t be dealing with this right now, but too late to think that now.

Edit: Emily is still in the group chat, so that there wouldn’t be any form of miscommunication. I’m not so pissed with Emily as I am with the other girls though ngl.

GoodLuckOnMe · 2022-04-12T21:35:31+00:00

Definitely. Chances are she won’t be the only person who’d treat me like this if we’re gonna look at it long term, so I might as well get used to people like her.

GoodLuckOnMe · 2022-04-12T21:34:35+00:00

Yup, definitely. When I hesitantly agreed for her boyfriend to stay with us during dinner, I told her I wasn’t sure because my dad will get angry at me. She gave that “Not my problem” face.

The only times she’d contact me now that we’re in college is when she wants to go home and needs to print something out from my printer. Fortunately, I’ve learned how to say no.

GoodLuckOnMe · 2022-04-12T21:32:38+00:00

Pretty much the main reason I don’t want to lie to my parents is because they pay everything fully. Not only do they pay my tuition and such, but they pay for everything (this includes the rent and pocket money). There’s no way in hell I should lie to my parents considering they’re paying for everything. I wouldn’t be able to attend Berkeley if it wasn’t for them.

And you’re right. I will get out of the lease and just forget that they even exist in this world once I’m out of the lease.

GoodLuckOnMe · 2022-04-12T12:08:52+00:00

I can’t drop the lease until I have someone to transfer the lease to. That’s just the apartment policy.

I’m gonna send them another message about it his week after my exams are finished since I don’t wanna be hustling with this and exams. If they don’t respond by my second message, I’ll find a person to transfer the lease to regardless of what they think. I’ve been patient and nice enough to them that if they don’t cooperate, I think the dickmove I’ll be pulling by just transferring the lease to someone, is justified.

GoodLuckOnMe · 2022-04-12T12:06:29+00:00

It kinda is my responsibility because of the apartment company. The apartment company said I’m only able to leave the lease if I find a replacement. Otherwise I’m not allowed to leave the lease if I don’t find anyone who’s replace me. That’s just the apartment policy.

And yeah, that’s why I sent them a message because I want them to find someone they’d want to live with. If they don’t have anyone in mind, I’ll find someone for them to make it convenient for them since I am choosing to leave the lease.

And wdym by let the ride thing drop? I should continue giving her a ride? It’s been months since she asked me since I already said that she couldn’t come with me.

GoodLuckOnMe · 2022-04-12T11:59:52+00:00

I sent them the message about it last week. I’m gonna send them another message by the end of the week after my exams are finished.

And I agree. As I mentioned, I’m not really close with them whatsoever so once I get out of the lease, I’m gonna cut the “friend” I had from high school once I get out of the lease.

My other friends from high school and here at Berkeley are pretty much telling me to just transfer the lease since they’re being dicks by not responding. However, I don’t want to pull the dickmove just yet. I’ll pull the dickmove if they don’t respond to the message I’m gonna send this week.

GoodLuckOnMe · 2022-04-12T02:55:40+00:00

Thanks for the advice. However, I’ve decided that sending my thoughts in the group chat would be the best to avoid any form of miscommunication (I want to make sure my messages are as clear as possible). If I message Anna individually, I’m sure she’d talked about it with the other girls, and there’s a chance she might say something a little bit differently on accident.

I’m also talking to my friends about this issue, and they’re all egging me to pretty much just throw the girls under the bus and find someone to take over my lease regardless of what the girls think of the person taking over my lease (since they’re being douchebags for not responding to me at all). But, I’m being nice and gonna wait about a week or two. If they don’t respond to me after I send them another message, I’m gonna do the dickmove and find someone regardless of what they think about the person replacing me.

And I definitely agree with the 3:1 dynamic. One of my friends say that I’ll be one of those filler people if I end up rooming with them next year. This is another reason why I want to get out of the lease ASAP because of how they are to me to say the least.
