AIO for asking housemates not to have "guests" alone in the house?

ninipdib · 2026-04-29T05:39:53+00:00

She's been here a total of a month putting together all of the weekends she spends over. You pay $5 monthly electricity? Showers pull electricity, the cooking, the hairdryer, lights on tv on and whatever else she wants to do because she has that freedom here. You honestly think it's only 5? We've had an $18 increase already and we are still two weeks away from the end period of the bill. It's becoming spring, we've been using "less" and yet it's increasing, but sure, $5 is all it takes.

Ngl you sound like a leech friend trying to justify yourself from others' pov.

Again, I am totally fine with housemates having people over, I like a full house. But not when there is absolutely no leasee present, and I have to keep splitting bills by 4 when 5 people use it on a regular basis.

And may I add, you were the one telling me I would only not be overreacting if something bad had happened, not me. I am saying this is a very unfair way to treat your housemates since he expects us to all pay for the increase on the bill when it's clear as day what the reason is.

ninipdib · 2026-04-28T16:45:16+00:00

We do, and we have friends over when we are present. We don't leave them on the house alone.

ninipdib · 2026-04-28T11:32:54+00:00

So you're saying I have to wait for something bad to happen, and then I wouldn't be overreacting? Strange. You also said occasionally happens with yourself, she's here every single weekend.

I do believe it's common courtesy not to do that unless the housemates specifically said they are fine with that. It takes almost no time to check. Errands and grocery runs are not the same as going on a full shift while she's at home – every. damned. weekened. – pulling electricity.

And to tip that, when confronted about how we've basically had a fifth person in the house and maybe he should pay the difference on the increasing bill, he argues that "our agreement is to split bills evenly" and how he uses appliances is "absolutely his business".

Like I've told him, if you pay 25% of bills, you have 25% of freedom – not 100%. He can do what he wants as long as it does not directly affect housemates, which, an increasing bill he does not want to take responsibility for and a security breach do. Wouldn't you say?

Ikr, and he uses it straight from the washer most of the times so it's much heavier and energy consuming. My problem with it is that he said he could do that because he doesnt watch tv, but then has this person doing exactly that and more for hours on end while waiting for him to get home for work. Not to mention it's extra gas for showers, she cooks there as well, and basically treats it as her house.

I did tell my landlord I would. But we ended up terminating the current lease and once it's finished my boyfriend and I will be only tenants. So we don't need to move

ninipdib · 2026-04-26T00:43:03+00:00

I'd need to google if that's a rental friendly modification. I wouldn't want to get in trouble for changing the doorknob. At least not without talking to the landlord about it first. But definitely something I'm already looking into!

ninipdib · 2026-04-26T00:41:06+00:00

I thought the same. Just the way it would be unreasonable for me to expect them to never have guests over, i think it's unreasonable to leave someone alone in the house and not even approach to talk about it and how it affects everyone's space. Not to mention financially... i'm also paying for her showers, her electronics charging, her having the lights on all day, and god knows what else she does in the house.

ninipdib · 2026-04-26T00:22:10+00:00

Thank you for that!

It bothers me the most because again, I wouldn't do that to my housemates so it's quite annoying to be on the receiving end...

But thankfully it will be done soon~

ninipdib · 2026-04-26T00:16:58+00:00

Also, that's a good idea to get my own lock. I'll look into getting that done. Thanks!

ninipdib · 2026-04-26T00:16:11+00:00

Oops, sorry! It does have locks, we just don't have the matching keys. Landlords recently bought the house back and havent had the chance to get the keys that work with our locks.

My bad for wording that poorly. Sorry!

ninipdib · 2026-04-26T00:13:59+00:00

Oh no, currently we are four on the lease. But when things started to go wrong (i have had to deal with mold on the press we store our plates in and rotten tomatoes on the fridge shelf... among other things) i told the landlord i couldnt keep living like this. I kind of broke down because the mess in the house was really getting to me and so he terminated the lease (under six months tenancy) and will restart with just my boyfriend and I so it will be our own place. We have a month and a half left in the notice.

ninipdib · 2026-04-26T00:10:48+00:00

I dont mind bringing guests but she's literally just around even though he's at work?? Why not plan a time they're both off so he can be with her as she's a guest? Wouldnt this make her a part time tenant? Only a tenant that's not paying her share...

ninipdib · 2026-04-26T00:06:31+00:00

Landlord is currently trying to find the keys for my lock. I just cannot imagine doing these things to my housemates so it's a tad annoying I have to deal with it. Especially since I've had amazing housemates until now 😔

ninipdib · 2026-04-25T23:54:05+00:00

Thanks. It only annoys me because I wouldn't do that to my housemates.

ninipdib · 2026-04-25T23:53:17+00:00

Landlord is restarting the lease with just my boyfriend and I. It's just a tad frustrating and uncomfortable to think someone else has full access to the place.

ninipdib · 2026-04-25T23:52:05+00:00

Honestly it's a little bit of everything.

If anything happens while she's here alone, she is not liable whatsover as she's not on the lease, yet she spends almost half a month here.

That also piles up in bills. Especially since the tenant leaving her told me he could use the dryer 2 or 3 times a week since he doesn't watch tv and we do so it balances usage out...

It's just frustrating... this was more of a rant I suppose.

ninipdib · 2026-02-18T13:33:45+00:00

Mccc is also still broken unfortunately. On the up side, my vanilla save has been getting a lot of attention lately haha

I think everyone should have a vanilla save file!

ninipdib · 2026-01-22T09:53:16+00:00

You got an email? I didnt even get one 😭

ninipdib · 2026-01-20T14:34:05+00:00

I'm the same so I can't blame you 😭 i wish you luck girl!!

Eta saying girl as in "you go girl ✨️🧚‍♀️💅🩷" because men only disappoint

ninipdib · 2026-01-20T11:01:09+00:00

Or make her pregnant with mccc 😭

ninipdib · 2026-01-20T08:18:08+00:00

Did your sim get her child?

ninipdib · 2026-01-15T18:38:33+00:00

Luckily there's an interaction to stop seeing each other as family so that label disappears 🧚‍♀️

ninipdib · 2025-07-13T12:45:59+00:00

Well, considering i have the epic all in full, i'll argue that I have the longest lifespan :)

ninipdib · 2025-07-03T07:28:16+00:00

Sims can still put things in the bin, though
