Problems with roomate and work!?

Question

I met my current roomate at work. We became good friends shortly after we started working together. I helped her move one Saturday and absolutly fell in love with the apartment. She was worried about having to pay that much rent all by herself. So we came up with the roomate idea. Things went sour right after I signed the lease. Her stuff covers every inch of the apartment. When we first moved in I could kind of understand because we work all the time, but a month later, it is still there. She refuses to help with cleaning rooms we both use, such as the bathroom or kitchen, Now I am not a neat freak, but when you are embarassed for company to use the bathroom, then you have a problem. I work hard for everything I own, including my computer. I make iweekly payments on it plus the Internet bill. She comes home after work and sits in front of my computer for hours. I feel like I have to beg permission to use it. I wouldn't mind if she used it with in reason, but I never get to. More....

Answer 1

You've got to put your foot down. Tell her straight out how you are feeling. Draw up a roster for cleaning because you are both paying half the rent. If she can't keep her part clean then tell her she needs to be paying more because you are doing all the work.

As for your computer, tell her that it is your computer and that you are more than happy for her to use it when you aren't there but she needs to pay half the bill.
