I answered an ad on Rightdoor, a neighborhood page; for a roommate for 6 months that turned into 11 months of Hell. I allowed two different women to move in with him, where both were useless to him and I finally had to tell him after #!GF showed up looking for money to buy drugs while pregnant at 3/am. I watched her on RIng peeping through the front window. #2GF comes along and she is just as bad if not worse than GF#!. He was being used by both and admits that he was and didn’t know how to handle it or take my elderly advice about what I saw. It only got worse from there, multiple police calls, notice to vacate, anxiety attach and finally eviction. A story worth reading if you ever think about getting a roommate, think twice. I will never do it again!
