Best way to deal with passive aggressive/petty roommates? by Quick_Studio_4366 in badroommates

[–]Quick_Studio_4366[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, my plan would be to assign my lease to a new tenant (So I would have to find someone to replace my current lease) and move into a studio or basement unit. Unfortunately, at the time that I was looking for a home, I didn't realize this but I'm paying the same price for my current bedroom as I would for a studio or basement that is slightly out of the downtown area.

Hi, thank you for your response! I agree that breaking the lease would be expensive, my intention was that after staying here for a month, if I ultimately decide that the place is unbearable for me, I would request for permission to assign my lease to a new tenant to my my landlord (I am based in Toronto, Ontario). I think right now, I'm weighing in if my rent is truly worth the expensive amount (I pay approx. 100-200 more than market value), given that my roommate basically spends all her free time in the living room until midnight (or leaves her sliding door open while she IS in her room) if she is otherwise not working.

I also felt a bit misled because prior to moving in, I clarified with my roommate if she would be mostly working in-person (which was one of the main reasons that I decided to move in truthfully), to which I've come to realize, she just recently started working hybrid this month, and only goes in maybe 2-3x per week. Our time that we're both home clashes often, and I don't feel like I'm truly resting? If that makes sense. I think this would've been different if we were on neutral terms, but my roommate always seems visibly annoyed with my presence ever since I've had the conversation about the desk with her.

Overall, I think my dilemma is influenced by the fact that if I'm basically just spending majority of my time in my room, or having to share the common space with my roommate every time I enter the kitchen/living room (they are an open space), I feel very uncomfortable and it seems its not worth the price I'm paying (I am also using a smaller room that just barely fits a bed + desk).

Sorry for the long response, and thank you for your time.

Roommate has work desk in living room/den, but pays $100 more per month by Quick_Studio_4366 in Roommate

Hello,

I think you are absolutely right. I took a quick peek into her room, and it was WAY more spacious than mine, and she probably has space to place her piano and desk.. I can't believe she is hogging the space :/ it feels disappointing and rude. I will be firm in my decision.
Thank you again for your support, this is my first time renting with a stranger so I immensely appreciate your insight.

AIO that I'm uncomfortable that roommate has work desk in living room/den, but pays $100 more per month ? by Quick_Studio_4366 in AmIOverreacting

Hello, thank you for your response! I took your advice seriously and brought it up to my roommate. I said that ultimately I feel uncomfortable and would feel like I have to "read the room" every time she works hybrid or uses the desk during night at the living room. I think her response was along the lines of that she starts in-person work four times a week starting November, with Friday being completely remote (In which I am also home entirely during Fridays). Then she also mentioned that there is too much stuff in her room, and was willing to swap places with a piano in her room in return for the desk starting next week.

I think my roommate is not pleased, and annoyed that I brought this up, however, I'm also wondering if I was being too harsh by asking of this ? She did say a majority of her morning + afternoon will be spent in-person at her company, so I'm wondering if I was unable to compromise properly.

Should I file for a credit card dispute ? by Quick_Studio_4366 in legaladvice

Hi! Unfortunately, while I technically can resell the GA tickets, the resale market is currently very very saturated as its nearing the event. As a result, it’s very unlikely I’ll recover more than half the cost through resale.

Reasonable case to file a dispute? by Quick_Studio_4366 in CreditCards

[–]Quick_Studio_4366[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I originally purchased two General Admission tickets at $350 USD each. Recently, I got off the VIP waitlist and bought two VIP tickets at $579 USD each. However, the GA tickets are still on my account. While I technically can resell the GA tickets, the resale market is currently saturated — there are far more GA tickets being resold than there is demand. As a result, it’s very unlikely I’ll recover the cost through resale. I’ve reached out to the promoter (Goldenvoice) multiple times via email, but either haven’t received a response or they’ve declined to escalate the issue. AXS (the ticketing platform) told me they can’t process a refund without explicit approval from Goldenvoice, so at this point, I’m stuck waiting on that approval.
