Ick, my story isn't as bad as some of the others but still a bit horrid in my terms. My husband and I are helping one of his female friends by letting her live in the spare room of our apartment. It was supposed to be his office but she needed a place to live so she can get resettled and find a new job. Anyways, she's been helping us with the groceries and all which we both really appreciate since our finances are tight as it is. She doesn't pay rent, bills or anything, save her own cell phone and college bills.
The only complaints that I have are her cleaning habits. Her room smells so bad that every time that I have to walk by it, mind you this is a small apartment, it smells like moldy, dirty, BO saturated clothes! It's awful!! Worst of all, you can smell it throughout the house slightly if her door is open. Good grief, our two cats' litter box smells better than her room! She's into gaming and rp so she practically lives in her room, including eating. There's always a bowl from her last meal or so by her computer. When she's out to her job, I always close that door just so that I don't have to smell it. My husband even notices the stench and talked to her about it but I have yet to see any attempts on her part to clean up. Her rooms a mess and a hazard for our kittens. At least she has okay bathing habits but she always leave a clump of hair on the shower walls. EW! Throw that away, please?! Her hair's already clogged up the shower once.
I'm the one who keeps the apartment clean, do the bills, laundry, cleans the litter box and etc. My husband works, she works and I take an online college course. We've agreed that I will not clean her room or do her laundry and she's had plenty of time to do her own clothes. So disgusting! I'm even afraid that when she leaves that her odor will not come out of that room.
Should I put down some rules about the food and the smell even though I don't bring in the dough?
