About a 1yr ago I had to move home since I was having issues with finding a roomate who would actually pay rent/bills. I could not afford rent on my own. Recently my good friend of 10 yrs. tells me her lease at her place is up in Jan'07, and we should get a place. So we started looking and found a house to rent. I have already started to move in when she tells me that she now has to stay another month at here current house, but now I doubt she is moving in at all! She will not give me a definate answer wether or not she will be signing the lease in March. So, I am basically screwed-I can almost bet she won't even call me at the end of February! I do have another person who may be able to move in right away. My question is should I just have this other friend move in if she can or should I give my friend a chance to see if she will sign the lease in March? I don't know what else to do, I am very upset my "friend" would do this to me. Or does anyone know how to find a roomate?

If your friend can't committ to an answer that you need, and you have someone else lined up who is more reliable, I would initiate a committment from the other person. You don't want to mess around with broken leases and the inability to pay your rent. You could end up losing your shirt over a stunt like this. Your "friend" sounds like she's looking for a way out.

If you cannot get out of the lease and move in again with your parents, I would ask the other friend to move in. Especially since the first friend won't give you a definite answer. You had the right idea about moving in with your parents. Roomates can really mess things up. It is so much easier, I think to live on your own or with family if your family doesn't mind you being there and you pay them rent. Family is less likely to tear up your stuff and less likely to send you into financial ruin. Good luck.

Explain to your "friend" that you need an answer immediately or you will have to let the other friend move in because you don't have time to wait. If you still can't get a roommate try putting an ad in your local newspaper or put flyers up around nearby college campuses.

If you have a friend willing to commit & move in now I would go 4 it. Just explain to the other girl she was so undecided that u were concerned & had to get a roomy right away.

Meet your friend in person and explain the situation to her again. Tell her that you really need to know by Monday and if she doesnt give you a definite answer youre going to have to find someone else to live with.

if i were you id take in my other friend since that will help you with the rent and other bills,otherwise youll be stuck with all the bills and your friend will probably end up not moving in with you.just call her one more time and ask her if shes moving in or not.thats alot of bills from here to march,think about it.

tell her you need to know by a certain date or your gonna let your other friend move in. that way she will know that your sure you want to do this and that your serious. tell her the truth...if she doesn't give you an answer by that date then your gonna let this other person move in. she should understand.
