Roomies and Landlady
I sincerely appreciate you letting me live here...the $400 per month I pay for rent that includes Internet and emergency phone and heat is really nice since I'm less that a 45 min bus trip to school.
However, STAY OUT OF MY ROOM!!!!
Just because I am only renting a room and there isn't a lock on the door and I am gone out of town every weekend doesn't entitle you to the rights to spray my room with air-freshener and vacuum, to enter to look at my stuff, go through my mail, sit at my computer and try to get it to turn on, to look at my fish tank, to oggle at the Asian decor I have framed and push pinned to the wall or to look at my books... (and yes I know you did because my computer monitor is turned on and my stuff has been moved, changed, and rearranged)
A closed door means just that, stay out its my private room. I told you "if I am home and my door is open please feel free to come in" " If my door is closed it doesn't matter if I am home or not, stay out"
(and a closed door doesn't mean I am angry with you or mad, its just means I want privacy and I don't want to hear you conversations in the other room, or your televisions while I am typing up financial reports and terms and conditions for my financial writing job, or writing discussions on female hygiene, or writing up advice on relationships for my relationship advising job, or maybe I am even doing some medical transcription, a closed door just means I don't want to be interrupted while I am working or studying!!)
Its not that I have really anything to hide, except maybe my bloody underwear or dirty laundry I might have left on the floor, or maybe I left some copyrighted documents face-down on my desk that I could get fired if my on-line boss knew anyone but me saw them. Or maybe you might see the hefty bill I owe to my credit card for the time I was in the hospital or recovering from a car accident and had no medical insurance.
The simple fact is, I like privacy, and I like to go out with my friends on Saturday and do my grocery shopping and community service and then stay over night and go to church and cook my friends a nice dinner and maybe watch a movie and know that I can leave my stuff out in my room without people rummaging through it.
This is my room, I water my plants, and fish, and vacuum my floors and dust every Wednesday while nobody is home...So you don't need to come in and go through my stuff and re-clean my room on the weekends while I am gone...
Please don't make me wish I stayed homeless this summer, Please don't make me move....But I will move and leave this place, and you won't get your rent money if I cannot get some privacy. (and you wont get such a quiet and respectful and reserved, well mannered roommate)
Aside from the afore mentioned reasons entering my room without prior notice or express permission from me is a violation of renters law...even though we don't have a contract.
Please be courteous and stay out of my room. I don't go into your room for any reason unless you are in there and the door is open and I have knocked and I need to talk to you. I just don't go in there while you are not there. So please stay out....
Please give me this respect....
You also swore up and down when I rented this place that you would never have guys sleep here over night and that you would never rent from a male of any kind. And the day I moved in I found out you moved a guy in on the 1st level and that you ex-husband spends entire months here......This means that I am on the verge of getting ousted from my religion for living with a man I am not married to or related to...thanks! My marriageability is now down to zero and I run the risk of being shunned! My reputation is destroyed, my good name as a chaste female in my 20's is completely ruined.
I cant afford to move right now, and I don't have a place lined up to move to anyway....I don't have a vehicle to move with and plus I am going to college 40 hours per week and working 40 hours per week....This late night partying with guys over is stressful! You are in your 50's! Grow Up!
And please quit eating my food without asking...its rude!
BTW: I will be putting a door lock on as soon as I pay this months bills....I didn't want to, but you have forced me to........and don't try to break in, you wont be able.
Sincerely,
Your 3rd level roommate who like her privacy and who you swore to "I would never do that"
(stay out of my room, stay out of my food, and quit lying to me)
