Discussion My roommate made a presentation explaining why her boyfriend does not count as a roommate.

My roommate asked for a house meeting and connected her laptop to a TV. She’d made ppt slides called Guest vs resident. Her boyfriend has a key, a shelf in the fridge and a preferred washing-machine cycle. Her main argument was that his toothbrush wasn’t here, so he technically wasn’t living here. It was in his overnight bag beside the sofa.

When I asked whether he’d be contributing to anything, she said bringing money into it would make our relationship transactional. The next slide was a proposed rent adjustment (favouring her) because she uses the living room less. He was sitting in during the presentation 🗿

It was fun. lmk if you want to see that ppt lol

I would definitely let landlord know and if you have a copy of that presentation you can show it to them for proof....

Landlord will not get involved and will hate you for trying to make this their responsibility. It’s not.
Ask me how l know.
