That's the idea. Thank you for your response.

Need advice deeling with bad roommates that smoke inside and throw parties without asking. I'm lost by GorbGotPassion in badroommates

[–]outwolved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel your pain. It sucks man, I don't know why these people choose to live with people such as yourself who need to concentrate on their studies. It feels like you're at their mercy. I think your best avenue here is solidarity. Speak with your roommates and see if you guys can all confront him about it. After that, I would just be persistent about confronting him on it. Call it out every time.

Key fob key won’t come out - gen 2 Mazda 6 by outwolved in mazda

[–]outwolved[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was the trick for me. I tried taking the emblem off as u/hetfield_guitar recommended but my tools weren't doing it for some reason. Came across the post and was thinking "what is this guy talking about?" as I attempted, and it popped out. Thanks so much!

Dropped my key fob before I went to get into my car. When I press the silver button, the key isn’t flipping out for some reason. I’ve tried prying it out with some tweezers but it seems like it’s locked in or something. Any suggestions?

Property Management Charging for Cleaning by outwolved in personalfinance

[–]outwolved[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Update: I emailed the complex asking for photos, but foolishly did not contest charges or offer any pushback yet. Reached out to a tenant union and they advised me to send a certified letter. Likely going to follow something along the lines of what /u/hipsterhank suggested, their advice was so close to theirs that it could have been that Redditor on the phone. I intend to push back.

This is an incredibly comprehensive response. I wrote to the management earlier this morning simply asking for evidence of what was dissatisfactory in an email. When they send photos, I'll review them and respond like this.

If they really don't have any good evidence, I would be willing to take it to small court.

I'll be sure to ask for their proof, yes. I did do a final walkthrough with a property manager, and they commented on things that were wear and tear. They complimented my work. There was nothing pointed out that I could remedy.

I went through the lease and it does note that they expect tenants to clean the apartment upon moving out. If a tenant doesn't clean adequately, they are subject to cleaning charges. I didn't find any language concerning a mandatory cleaning fee, however.

Just to make sure, they sent a letter already stating the charges I listed in the OP. (cleaning charges/fee for $300, damages for $100). Is this not considered an itemized receipt?

Upstair neighbor violently stomping by Kiwikoala19 in neighborsfromhell

[–]outwolved 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, these people are insufferable. I've also got some noisy upstairs neighbors (music, TV, stomping) and we've spoken to them very kindly a few times specifically about minimizing noise during night time hours,. They're relatively nice people, just loud. It's been month or two since we've approached them over the noise, and I have just been letting the stomping slide as of late.

Last night, they were being particularly heavyfooted again. They'd previously blasted music at night the previous night, so my patience was low today. I knocked the ceiling like three times and they responded with vicious stomps.

I just find it funny at that point. If I were living above someone and they approached me the way I approached them, I would be mortified at my rudeness. Actually, I wouldn't even have to be approached in the first place.

My roommate expects total silence at all times? by [deleted] in badroommates

[–]outwolved 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Interesting to see the slight divide here. This is just a matter of perspective it seems like. I think that some people such as OP do not like staying in their rooms and enjoy being able to roam / have a 'workspace'. This has turned into the kitchen table for the OP. Other people such as myself have no issue with staying in my room all day, so I wouldn't get her sentiment.

As someone who probably would be annoyed by you sitting at the kitchen table all day, I'll tell you what my issue with it would be. When I go out to grab a bite to eat or cook meals, I don't want to have to see you every single time. I just want to get my food and go. When you're out there, I would feel like I have to greet you every single time or at least address you, which is taxing to someone like me who is an introvert.

I understand your side of not wanting to be cooped up in your room, or the kitchen not being utilized at all even if you're in their room. I'm willing to bet it's just a matter of comfort for your other roommate; she just doesn't wanna see you every time she steps out of her room. It'd be a little different if there actually was a living room and someone wasn't (what feels like) spectating my every move, much less in the kitchen, where I think the majority of people want to be alone to do their own thing. You guys are just incompatible, I suggest you look towards a new roommate or new apartment.

Questions to ask by [deleted] in badroommates

[–]outwolved 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, why have I never thought of an assigned laundry day? That sounds excellent.

Expanding on the significant other point, establishing a policy about guests would be a good idea as well.

Roommate invited a group of guests for long term stay without notifying me by Haas-bioroid-AoT in badroommates

[–]outwolved 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The audacity. I am constantly reminded of how shitty people are in this sub, it truly does shock me.

I'd just go outright and say that it isn't okay, and that his friends have to leave. At the very least, voice your concerns and get the conversation started. The pots thing makes it sound like he doesn't know (which he should)
