Why didn't you just clean the pee up instead of waiting? Other stuff is shitty on his behalf.

 

[Lights and Waves]

Didn't realize he was your landlord and roommate. The deposit is not worth it. Get out ASAP. Get your friends to help you with your shit. Find a place on Airbnb to crash at or something. Find a better place on craigslist ASAP

 

[Stasis]

No he didn't, the crazy thing is, on my first night of moving in, he opened the door for me, albeit it was the weekend, a Saturday night at that.., around 11:00pm, he opened the door for me and he was pissed drunk on gigantic bottle of wine he had almost fully polished (he offered me the last drop, the bottle was in the fridge) He even apologetically admitted that he was drunk, I didn't make a big deal of it, since you know I am moving in 11:00pm on a Saturday day night, I didn't see a reason to criticize my new roommate for being tipsy that day and hour of the week.

To give a little background about this guy, he is in his mid 30's seems to come from a very wealthy family, he is the party boy type (hate to say "privileged") He works for his dad's company, a very successful landscaping business according to him... He currently owns a late model BMW M5, "I used to own a G wagon and a Range Rover"

He is a nerdy, ugly looking, eurotrash Patrick Bateman type with expensive taste in everything from cars, shoes to laundry detergent.




Yes he is my landlord and roommate.



the contract is only month to month, (Which makes things slightly less stressful) but the fucker wants a 30 day's notice, he also has $500 of my deposit money (in cash)

Time to leave. No 30 day notice. Did you sign that anywhere? If not, he can't really do shit. Just bail right before you're supposed to re-up. I don't know your financial situation, and I know $500 can be a lot, but I'd still just walk out on it rather than give him 30 days and have to deal with all kinds of shit he may do during that time just because he's entitled (seemingly) and he can.

Or give him the notice and hope for the best, really.

I think those are the two options. Instinct tells me this is going to get way worse before it gets any better.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

What would be the point of this? The OP knows it's the roommate. No one else but the roommate or someone the roommate knows is in the house.

You can almost tell the roommate is going to deny it though, so this would give OP proof.

this.

and spend money so you can proof the ass took it?

for your sake, better move out..

It's a condo on the 14th floor of a highly secure high rise, you have to go through a concierge and three checkpoints before you can even get in the elevator. Of course it is him!

You would think why some privileged kid would need to steal alcohol and need a roommate.

 

[ThatGuyAgain]

Here's an idea OP.

Get one of those small fridges for your room.

Buy a hidden camera and place it in your room also.

Stock the fridge with some beer.

Wait.

??????

Profit.

Not sure how this turns to any sort of profit.

My advice to the OP is to move on if you are not bound to a lease. If you are bound to a lease and depending on how the lease is written, you may be able to get out of it by catching him red-handed.

Hmm...

Definitely try to talk to him tonight. Stealing out of my room is crossing the line big time in my opinion. If I were in your shoes he'd need a damn good excuse to keep me living there.

Do you have other options just in case?

 

[Randolph Freelander]

That floor really tied the bathroom together, did it not.

And move out. Gracious, living with people you know is already bad enough. Living with a stranger? No way. And now they're peeing on your floor and going through and stealing your belongings. Get out of dodge.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Why didn't you just clean the pee up instead of waiting? Other stuff is shitty on his behalf.

I was looking for the mop to clean it with, which somehow ended up begin in his room than night ( I Had no access to it)

I t was sticky dog pee, paper towels wouldn;t done the job and why shouldn't I address dog pee on my bathroom floor when I see it?

Don't want to be quiet about these things..

 

[Delta Assault]

When you go to pay next month's rent, just subtract the cost of the six-pack of beer and the closet wine.

 

[Oxn]

Wait. Is your roommate just the lanlord of the apartment, or the entire highrise?

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

...I think you need to rewatch that movie.

I merely saying his personality seems to match Patrick Bateman's, if not his physical looks.

Just the apartment

 

[thefit]

Get your own place you sound like a pain to live with.

I would get out of there or put a good lock on your door. Just make sure that if you give him 30 days that you have anything worth any value out of the house already , things are likely to disappear.

 

[davepoobond]

just scream "this is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass" really loudly over and over

 

[Kaladin]

Just the apartment

Is that legal?

Is there anyone that is his landlord that you can go to?

 

[Clydefrog]

That sucks, OP.

Might be time for a guilt trip. Tell him, "hey man, I can't find these bottles of wine I had tucked away in my closet. They were a gift from my grandpa two Christmases ago that he told me to age. He unexpectadely died last year and those bottles have since become quite sentimental to me. Any idea what could have happened?"

Fuck this guy!

 

[terrisus]

I wanted to shower

Johnny Cage In The Shower
When the dog will let him

 

[StMeph]

Weeks??? What weeks? Try the first four days in.. which is why this is terrifying me right now.

So... four days in and this shit is happening. You really think another 360 will go well?

Start looking for a new place and get out.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Get your own place you sound like a pain to live with.

What the fuck, his roommate's dog pees in his bathroom and steals his beer and trespasses in the room, and OP is a pain to live with? Trollin m8?

pee in his room?

honestly, is all the stress worth it?

 

[Amentallica]

I mean, the name of the person you quoted is one letter off from spelling "theft."

 

[God Dayumm]

But he made you a steak!!

 

[soco]

set up a camera in your room, hide some more wine. use theft video to get out of lease

 

[johnny_park]

Buy a lock for your door, bro.

 

[thefit]

What the fuck, his roommate's dog pees in his bathroom and steals his beer and trespasses in the room, and OP is a pain to live with? Trollin m8?

Well if he gets his own place then gets a roomate and they leave then we'll know its him. He will also have controll of what happens in his place so he can set the rules. Its a solid plan m8

 

[Casual Gamera]

Are you living in Mega-City One?

 

[Delta Assault]

That sounds like a lot of trouble.

Just slip rat poison into the wine.

 

[God Dayumm]

First put an insurance on the guy that you can cash out later

 

[BennyBlanco]

Guy could very well be an alcoholic. I'd probably bail if I were you.

 

[Tigress]

That's a huge violation of trust if he did take your beer and wine, but why don't you call him and talk about it. Find out what his side of the story is. Maybe someone else took it? Maybe he really needed booze for a party and thought you wouldn't mind (not that this would excuse him). But talk it out before you go nuclear.

The taking it for a party and thinking he wouldn't mind I would see being kinda reasonable (still should have asked first) for the beer, especially if he planned on replacing it (which means he should have texted, I took the beer, will pay back/replace). He's still though showing he's the kind of person you need to set very clear boundaries for.

But going into his room and going into his close to take the wine? How did he even know the wine was in there? That's incredibly invasive and it's like he was searching for stuff to steal. I have a hard time seeing this guy either being an outright shameless thief (not just even misunderstanding or little willpower to not take some food he is craving that he sees) or as some one else pointed out, having some sort of issue with this guy drinking (especially giving the weird look he gave OP for the joke about being too drunk could be possible).

I'm honestly not sure which is worse. But if thief, I don't think talking is going to work, time to move out honestly. If he's so shameless he's going into the room to search for stuff, I doubt a talk is going to make it better. It's just going to make him defensive/aggressive. If the latter... that may be able to be talked out.

 

[m_shortpants]

The dog thing and beer thing are bad but these things happen sometimes with roommates until you set clear rules. However, going through your stuff is completely unacceptable. I'd move out or put a lock on your door.

Talk to him. But there's just no excuse for that.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Might be the gf.

 

[blast processed]

Move out before it's to late, he sounds like a wack job. Also, don't summarize for the lazy asses that don't want to be bothered reading your post. It's insulting! Hope it works out.

 

[Kaladin]

Maybe the GF's dog was upset that you didn't like his welcoming gift after seeing you move in and decided to steal your wine so he can leave a bigger gift in the next couple of nights.

 

[ThatGuyAgain]

That sounds like a lot of trouble.

Just slip rat poison into the wine.

That escalated quickly...

 

[PRBoricua]

I want to help, but that's a lot to read...lol. Can you summarize it or something?

Love the part where people on a message board don't want to read, lol. Classic.

 

[Straight Edge]

Just be aware you are never getting that security deposit back.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

I guess it's also worth to mention that this guy boasted about his Gf being a lawyer...

So he says she is.. and he said this the first day I moved in before there were any red flags.

All sorts of messed up.

Is that legal?

Is there anyone that is his landlord that you can go to?

He owns the condo, so yeah he can rent out a room (and a bathroom in it ) while living there, it is legal. He would be my landlord.

 

[DrGonzo615]

This is why I live alone. Fuck roommates and their shit.

 

[Tigress]

Love the part where people on a message board don't want to read, lol. Classic.

I thought there was a rule against TLDR posts (it's one reason I love this forum. All TLDR posts do is add spam so some one can tell people he's too lazy to read but not lazy enough not to post a meaningless comment).

Anyways, I really think most people here are right, move out. Hell, I think the person who suggested you do this now with no warning (especially if you haven't signed anything yet) probably has the best advice if you can find a place to stay quick enough (just don't give him warning you are looking). Oh, and lock up anything you really value until you move out.

 

[Trojita]

Why didn't you knock on his door as loud as you fucking could?

What does your lease look like? You have someone stealing your shit. Beer was bad enough but that shit happens if you are in a dorm or something, but stealing stuff in your closet is grounds for getting your door knocked down. There's no way he can keep your deposit if he's stealing your stuff and making you live with having dog piss in your bathroom every morning.

Also just be careful in case he tries to make the "steak and potatoes" text message make him look like a good roommate later on to the police or something.

 

[Ashodin]

Yeah you need to get out of there ASAP

Dude is pretty much just using you while you stay there, anything that is yours can be his basically

I'd sleep with the wine and beer next time.

That would have been a red flag in itself.



"Hey new roomie, don't go starting any shit.

It's not like I don't trust you or nothing, but I'm banging a lawyer whose dog might or might not piss in your bathroom one day."

I think you nailed it with this, it scary how accurately you describe his behavior, I am truly becoming terrified of him.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

I am seriously considering the girlfriend for these actions, she does seem to wear the pants in the relationship, and he did say his relationship has been on shaky grounds not long ago and they recently mended, also she comes from a strict Catholic background!

They aren't allowed to move into a house together until he marries her.

Sounds like this may be her doings, if not directly, maybe even indirectly, but still does not excuse the damage of trust!

 

[Koomaster]

Can you get a lock for your room where only you have a key. Because that is probably the only thing that will keep him out. It's pretty brazen to steal someone's stuff in the fridge, but to also go through their room and closet and take stuff; this dude might have a problem.

If moving is an option I would look for a new place immediately.
