it's us 3 girls living together. I haven't seen Jen do the dishes once since we moved in, she's had these boxes sitting in the hall since June, and she never cleans anything. She insisted that everyone do their own dishes so I made separate areas on the counter w/ tape and she let a huge pile of dishes sit in her area for 4 days after her party and they wreaked of beer. They spilled beer all over the carpet. The next morning instead of cleaning jen was watching a movie! so I cleaned her mess up. A couple days later she has another party which she didn't tell me or the other roommate about!! more beer spilled. When I got home I asked her about the boxes (for about the 4th time) and she rolled her eyes so i dumped them and threw the boxes away. Then I yelled at her about the dishes and never cleaning. The next morning she still didnt clean- so I cleaned it again and shampood the carpet. My dad wants her to pay him $5 for the shampoo & she refuses. She denies being a slob!! Help!

Unfortunately, an ingrained slob really can't be reformed by anyone.
I recommend not being her roommate when the lease expires. In the meantime, maybe have a big plastic tub, and fill it with her crap (including dishes) and stick it in her room if it's been sitting around for more than 24 hours.
The carpet you'll probably just have to keep doing yourself, since she's clearly not going to. There's clearly no hope for her - if she won't even chip in for the shampoo on a carpet that she (or her guests) were responsible for soiling.
If it gets bad enough, maybe you and your other roommate could give her a clear ultimatum, and ask her to move out. (of course, you'll need to find a replacement for her then)

Does she have her own room? And do you have your own room that you can lock? lol. If so, start dumping the stuff in her room.
If you want to take a more adult approach, have a house meeting. Schedule it at a good time for everyone. Allow it to be an open discussion so that anyone with any issues about the house can address them. Don't gang up on her though. Just state the things you believe are reasonable.
Use the schedule to setup house rules that everyone agrees on. Things like "all housemates should get an OK from the other hosuemates to have a party at least 2 days in advanced," "all dirty dishes should be cleaned within 1 day" Stuff like that.
That way when doesn't do it, you can point to the house rules that everyone agreed on and you're not just making it a you vs. her issue.
If that doesn't help, ask her to leave. Even if her name is on the lease agreement, you can work with the leasing company to remove it and replace it with another one. Not that you should do that as a way to kick her out...just letting you know you're not stuck with her. If you're miserable with her, she's probably miserable with you and it might just be best for her to look for a living arrangement more suitable to her lifestyle.

Everytime she leaves her dirty dishes in the counter and she refuses to wash them, instead of you cleaning after her, you should put all her dirty dishes on her bed. Then she'll have to wash the plates AND her bedspread!!! Throw all of her mess into her side of the room, not in the hall. Or you can always MOVE OUT!!!!

Take her dirty dishes, and toss them on her bed. Don't clean up for her anymore.
Write up a bill for the services you performed, and tape it to her door (make a copy of it). Write down any chores you did for her, and any time that you ever spoke to her about it. If she doesn't pay within 30 days, take her to small claims court.

BE annoying! don't sense sorry. i can inform you're an enormously bright individual who in basic terms choose to get via college very honestly, no longer something incorrect with that. the subsequent time you notice her, tell her! There continually could be an equivalent quantity of area interior the dorm for each individual. If she is uncooperative, pass to admissions and tell them her issues are rather area ingesting and which you're rather uncomfortable in the dorm in any respect circumstances. If no longer something works, the two change dorms, kick her out, or bear it, i assume.

Tell her that you and your other roommate are tired of living in her mess, Your not her parents and your not her maid and if she doesn't start taking responsibility and cleaning up after herself, then she's going to have to find another place to live. Im sure you'll have no problem replacing her.

If her names not on the rental agreement kick her out.
Give her 2 weeks ( or end of the month) to find another place, and also see if the rest of you can get a replacement.
Ya and paper plates work great when your single....

you are enabling her to be a slob stop doing her chores for her and, if her name is not on the lease kick her out, or move out if her name is on the lease and find a more cooperative roommate

Be strait forward ... sometimes it is the best thing to benefit everyone. Tell her to clean up or go.
