Poll time fuckers: Shitty Roommate and Rent Fee
 

Ok long story but ill try to keep it short, I have a roommate who's a bit of a thorn in my side money wise.

He's in his late 30's, a daily drinker, works 2 part time jobs (counseling kids and home depot). His expenses include maybe car insurance, rent, a cellphone, and maybe some child support. He doesn't pay utilities and I can't get him to pay his half of the damn cable bill.

In this living situation I am his landlord, and he pays me rent. This is about his 5th month living here, and rent is due on the first, but I am lenient to about the 4th or 5th (the 5th is when its late to my landlord)

On wednesday the 3rd he proceeds to tell me he is short on rent and can't come up with it all. He tells me he has $100 right then, and can have another $150 on friday. His rent share is $350 which for the costs I pay to live here is very generous and cheap.

Basically when he moved in, I told him that I operated very simply, if he has rent, he has a place to live. If he doesn't have rent, he's homeless. I however agreed to make a one time exception. Our agreement is that friday he would have $250, and the remainder ASAP, with a late fee.

I now have to decide on the late fee. He is putting me in one hell of a bind this month having thrown this on me with no heads up at all. I think I want to say that in stone he absolutely has to have the $250 tomorrow (friday) and $200 on the next friday, meaning $100 late fee.

I guess I just want opinions on whether or not that is too extreme for 12 days past due.

Cliffnotes:
Roommate sucks, late on rent
Is $100 a fair late fee for 12 days late?

Re: Poll time fuckers: Shitty Roommate and Rent Fee
 

My last landlord charged $37 for being 1 day late...

So $75

Re: Poll time fuckers: Shitty Roommate and Rent Fee
 

ok, yea i vote 100, and a swift kick in the nutz... but i would rather vote "hotrex has herpes" :y

Re: Poll time fuckers: Shitty Roommate and Rent Fee
 

if he's consistently late i say 125 is fair. if not, kick the dirtbag to the curb

Re: Poll time fuckers: Shitty Roommate and Rent Fee
 

Has he paid rent on time for the first five months? I may be a sucker but maybe he's having a tough month. Maybe a 50 dollar charge would be more fair. Then give him the full 100 if he's ever late again. :-\

Kick is stupid ass out. Next month will be no different. :7

if he's ever late again, he's homeless. I'll not flex on that one.

Thats kinda what I've been thinking, every month it gets harder to get the $45 for cable/internet out of him. I finally just shut the ---- off.

Re: Poll time fuckers: Shitty Roommate and Rent Fee
 

get some of your friends that he doesn't know to stop by and show them around like they are interested in renting the space he occupies.

obviously while he is home.

Re: Poll time fuckers: Shitty Roommate and Rent Fee
 

Paying rents over-rated :8

Re: Poll time fuckers: Shitty Roommate and Rent Fee
 

That's what I would do.. but then again that's how people get shot :-\

Re: Poll time fuckers: Shitty Roommate and Rent Fee
 

You should be paying him for the first lesson in management. People will always do what they think they can get away with. If he's a shitbag month to month, it's because he doesn't take you seriously. Pay him $50 for the lesson :D and crack the whip, or kick him out and start over fresh with a new roomate. Firm from the start.

just remember, friends help you move, real friends help you move bodies

Re: Poll time fuckers: Shitty Roommate and Rent Fee
 

personally i'd tell him to get the ---- out...its not hard to set money aside for rent...you know he's more then likely going to do it again, so save the future hassle by giving him the boot

Re: Poll time fuckers: Shitty Roommate and Rent Fee
 

Didn't read the whole post, but ---- roommates :7. There is no way possible your roommate is worse than mine. NO WAY :3

Re: Poll time fuckers: Shitty Roommate and Rent Fee
 

In the end, we agreed to $100.

He gave me the first $250 on saturday (NOT FRIDAY) and all apologetically asked if I was gonna kick him out at the end of the month, to which I said no of course. So here he is Saturday all concerned about being kicked out....

...NOW he tells me today that he wants to move out at the end of the month. What a douche.
