a pig of a roomate is living in my house and i dont know how to tell him to clean up without hurting feelings?

Question

okay this guy is the definition of discusting. he wont clean. and he dosent take the hint. were even getting evicted because hes so messy. hes the biggest packrat and hes very hardheaded. he doesnt want anyone to tell him what to do and he gets his pantys in a bunch any time some one tells him to clean and do it right. for ex. the kitchen is the dirtiest place in the house cuz he cooks and then leaves wrappers and food in the pan and theres always flys. so i scrubbed it but it got gross again so i scrubbed it again. right after i finished i went up to him while his fat but was sitting on the couch with his box of cereal and asked him to mop the floor. he really didnt want to but i gave him the look that said. get your ace up and do it and dont wait until tomarrow. so he got up grabbed the mop and started. he didnt use ay chemical and he basically threw a fit because i told him to go in there and do it again. how can i get him to shape up and clean. hes making problems 4 everyone.

Answer 1

If you are getting evicted because of him, then are you planning on renting another place with him?

I wouldn't and if you do, set some boundaries. Tell him that he needs to do his part in cleaning or you will get evicted again. Or that you simply will not tolerate the mess and you will have to find a new room mate if he doesn't shape up.
