Besides, one of my roommates was gracious enough to let me use his bed when he's not there since he tends to work in South LA and stays with family there over the Summer. ThePeavstenator posted:Have you had to clean up bags of his own poo poo that he leaves around the place or devised an RC-car door-opening system for your own entry into the apartment? He is a pretty messy person. He'll only clean if he's going to get laid that night. He's like a combination of Master Shake and Jordan Belfort. cowofwar posted:Did you guys pay a damage deposit because lol. Yeah, I'm probably not getting it back and I'll probably owe some more by the time this is done. gently caress. Not much to say about the contract other than my roommate is full of poo poo. But it's ok! He's getting a real estate license so he's got investor friends to bail him out!  He wants to have a meeting on Friday to discuss the room. What is there do discuss? I'm already looking at apartments and I found some places that are a bit more expensive, but at least I get my own room and the people seem fine.

Those photos are incredible but I'm probably not the only one who would benefit from an mspaint of the new floor plan. I don't understand how anyone could think this was a good idea.

Can you even have subletters (not that this is even subletting)? Your room mate is fascinating. Suggest that he put it on Air BnB instead, weight bench as the bed.

Your roommate wants to have a meeting where he says he now pays 10% of the rent he used to pay and the rest is covered by the new person because he built the room.

Is there a window in the new room because otherwise it's not up to code as a sleeping room.

They likely are if this was done overnight. Sounds like the walls could collapse with just a stiff breeze.

What's even the problem? You can rip down those walls barehanded and get your lightswitch back.

Thank you for posting about this. It sucks you're probably going to get kicked out and pay damages because of this idiot, but it provided me with a good laugh. Jesus, I got in poo poo for hanging pictures with tiny nails in one of my apartments. You can't loving just start building poo poo in someone else's building.

I bet you could tear it down in a night with < $100 in tools from harbor freight and a respirator from home depot. How structurally sound could it be? https://www.google.com/search?q=csun&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=harbor+freight+northridge Also move all your stuff out first.

Ask your roommate about other construction projects he's done. If you can, get pictures and post them here. I just want to see if your roommate is Grover.

A dude in the new(er) houses across the tracks got into big trouble after building a similar structure in his flat and he owned the place. Of course he also put a millionaire heiress in the room and ransomed her for money.

codenameFANGIO posted:I like that this dude built a new room and it wasn't even for you, the guy without a room. Even better is that he cut into half the space in OP's non-room to build it. Who the gently caress decides to ruin a significant portion of common space, let alone space that is technically the sleeping area of one of the tenants, just for some half-baked idea? Also, why are there four people on the lease of a two bedroom apartment? I've lived in a college hell nest as well, 8 people in a 4 bedroom house, but even in that case we only had like half of the people on the lease. OP, no matter what happens thank you for sharing with us. I can't wait for updates.

your roommate should have built something useful like that other idiot college goon that started a thread asking what kind of fans he should buy to remove moisture in he basement, and then posted these pictures when asked why the basement was wet

The water in that first picture looks murky enough to find a dead body in 3 days after the fact.

I seem to vaguely recall he came to see some sort of reason, got ready to drain it, and met with considerable difficulty because he never thought of that part. Equally possible that's just a scenario someone pointed out though.

Well, I finally got a hold of the landlord and let her know. She was not happy at all. Apparently, she's gonna sic building inspections on the apartment and get to the bottom of this. She sounded absolutely furious at O for pulling this kind of bullshit. Now I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, but at least I got the ball rolling.
