JCC Help me solve a roommate dispute

Discussion in 'Community' started by Obi-Zahn Kenobi, Jul 31, 2013.

?

Should OZK's roommate pay more rent?

  1. Yes - a lot more. He has his own bathroom and more personal space.

  2. Yeah - but only a little more. He did introduce OZK to the house.

  3. No - the same. No roommate agreement in the past has forced him to pay more. It's not fair.

  4. OZK should pay more because he won't shut up about how much he loves foreskin and fetuses and sperm.

    either that or OZK attempting to use this thread to argue a point. "see, people on the internet said you're being foolish!"

    First off act quickly. Renegotiate with him now today even. If the two decide that the big one costs more then so be it. He has to abide or else leave. Check your state but he has 30 days from when he decided not to renew. So if you decide two weeks from now he has 45 days. Work with your land lord on this. They will extend the lease if it means renegotiating of the agreement. Make an agreement for whomever has the big room as well. If he leaves and you get no one and you get the big room then work out an arrangement where you pay for it. Call your local tenants rights organization. They will help you out with this kinda thing. Trust me. I got a new landlord after the house was sold and they answered my questions.

    No, I'm trying to determine if I'm being unreasonable. I've zero intention of bringing this thread up with my roommate.

    Show them your foreskin restoration thread while you're at it.
    Maybe if they think you're using the king size bathroom to it, they'll let you have it.

    It's obvious Rogue_Ten wants to be OZK's new roomie.

    I don't see why not, they might as well be made aware the murder card is on the table. It could smooth the starting process.

    It's always on the table. That's why I always try to be very nice to everyone I know in person - especially those I live with.

    I so would like to know what this katana story is about. I gather it's not TOS friendly, right?

    Neither her name nor title have ever been spoken inside the JCC, and only twice by any JCer besides me, excluding our present conversation.

    I can't believe you gave us a foreskin update but not an update on this.

    He finally agreed to a $360, $330, $330 split - but I changed it to a $360, $335, $325 split because the other room is so much smaller than mine.

    I still don't think that's enough more to be fair . . . but I feel like the principle (someone with a room twice as large and their own bathroom should pay more) is being honored, so I feel much happier with the living situation now.
