Im moving out and ever since that’s been clear, my roommates are trying to make my life miserable.
I’ve already moved most of my valuables into my bfs studio apartment and try to stay there as much as possible but sometimes I have to go back to the apartment to grab things, and needing a quiet space when I’m working from home etc.. every single time I come back I have a stomach ache…
The biggest issue is that my one roommate (Marc) wants to move into my room and rent his room out instead (mine is wayyy bigger and has a balcony). I’m leaving some furniture behind and we also made some big purchases (TV, fridge, dryer etc) so I asked to be compensated for my share. Usually the my next tenant, so Marc, would compensate me and then just get the money from his next tenant, but after he refused, I even offered that he’d just pay his share for the furniture and I’d get the rest for the shared big purchases from his next tenant. He also said no and it honestly feels like he just doesn’t want me to get any money at all.
On top of that, I recently found out that one roommate has been withholding money from electricity payments for more than a year. We (or I) have been paying more than necessary, he never said anything and just pocketed the money. That adds up to a few hundred dollars.
The financial part isn’t even the worst part but the atmosphere is. The walls are super thin and I constantly hear them talk badly about me, getting really personal. Idk if they also talk about me whenever I’m not there and they’re just doing it to bug me whenever I am there, but they never say anything to my face, just behind my back.
They’ve also really started to act passive aggressive: they’re ignoring me (like literally not responding when I’m speaking to them), being unnecessarily loud at night (slamming doors, talking loudly in the hallway etc), playing loud music only during the times when they know I work from home.
Seriously at first I thought I was being paranoid, but it’s too obvious.
My room has no lock and there’s no way for me to install one, it’s also not worth it since I’m moving out soon. It sort of makes me uncomfortable because I don’t trust them to not go through my stuff whenever I’m gone.
I started moving my things (like laundry detergent that was usually in the bathroom) into my room because somehow it was getting used up whenever I wasn’t even there. Same with kitchen stuff: they damaged one of my pans and didn’t say anything.
It just feels like constant low level psychological stress, like they’re trying to provoke me, but in a way that’s not direct enough to call out.
I still have 3 months left on my lease and i genuinely don’t know what to do, especially since I sometimes HAVE to be there
