So me and another guy joined the same company around the same time (about 1 week difference). He found a room first since he was already near the location, and we decided to share it together.
We also bought second-hand furniture from a senior who was moving out. Important point: we both paid for the furniture together—it wasn’t like he bought it first and then sold it to me later.
Now after 4–5 months, he’s planning to move out. I told him I’m okay with that and I can just pay him his share of the furniture so I can keep using it.
But he’s saying that since he found the room first and knew the senior, he should get to take all the furniture.
I feel like that doesn’t make sense because we both paid equally, and since I’m the one staying in the room, I should get the first preference to keep it (by paying his share).
Am I being unreasonable here?
