roommate situation and idk if im being unreasonable
my roommate and i are random assignment roommates in a new apartment near our school. she signed her lease in june and i signed mine in july.
there are 2 sides to each bedroom, one with the window in the back and one closer to the door. i genuinely don't care THAT much which side i have, but when i toured the apartment, my parents really wanted the window side, so we asked the leasing staff like 50 times if it was available and if anyone had claimed it. they repeatedly told us no one had it yet, so i signed my lease believing i had it. and obvi a window would be nice.
my roommate recently told me she got the window side. she said when she signed in june, they also told her it was available, and she specifically wanted it too. both of our emails also somehow said we had the window side, so clearly the apartment messed something up.
i called them today and they confirmed that i have the window side and she has the side by the door. this is also documented on my lease, that i have the window. anyway, she was thankfully really understanding because neither of us caused this.
i offered to switch sides every semester, but now i'm wondering if that's actually fair or if i should just keep the window since the apartment confirmed it's mine on paper?
i don't know exactly how her leasing process went, so i don't want to assume anything. i just know that on my end, we specifically asked multiple times about the window side before i signed. i dont even know if she toured the room in person, because at that point the apartment would've still been under construction.
i was honestly excited to have her as my roommate, so i don't want this to make things awkward. what would you guys do?
