Got a temp roomie 6 months ago, he’s moving out, I told him we need to split all the bills that I paid before he leaves, (I do bills every few months). He got upset, said he thought utilities are included and that it might have been in the ad I posted when I was looking for a roommate. I did not have a copy of the ad so we could only speculate. I insisted cable and high speed internet wouldn’t count anyways, (he even used my own TV I let him borrow). Decided not make him pay basic utilities and he would only pay for high speed internet, (not cable TV because he claims he rarely used it). So we were both at fault for communication. HOWEVER I went back to the office where I had listed the ad, turns out that I did NOT SAY that utilities would be included. What should I do? I have a $300, should I withhold the utilities? It would slice his deposit in half, he’s a student, I would feel bad gypping him, but I want to do what’s right.
