I'm getting kicked out r9k. I have been warned about this since december last year. I need to get out by december.
Everywhere I look has some sorta stipulation to the effect of 'if the other housemates like you'. what the fuck is this bullshit? Whatever happened to 'money talks, bullshit walks'?
I can pay my rent motherfucker, ill pay it 6 months in advance if i have to.
but apparently thats not acceptable. in 2 hrs i need to be 'shown my room' and have a 'meet and greet' with my potential housemates. I've been awake all night.
Can't you find an apartment where you can be by yourself? Having housemates is the worst, and they'll start to resent you if you're not the talkative type.

living properly alone is doable, but if i do that i will be living on the breadline. Renting this single room is going to cost me 700/month (sterling) and I only make 1600/m, The single room cost is inclusive of all utilities, tax etc, so if i was living in a studio apartment on my own that'd prolly shoot into the 1.2k region. South East UK sucks.

The worst thing you can do is disqualify yourself without even responding to the posting. You need to make first contact. Everything after the initial "hello my name is" will come very easily, don't overthink it bro.

Unfortunately you are poor. Have fun with that. You need to contain your autism and act halfway normal. People don't want a hallway shitting screeching autist for a roommate.
Being quiet and reserved is totally fine, just keep your spaghetti in your pockets until you move into your room and don't act like your literal poverty tier """finances""" entitle you to literally anything.

I have about 33k in savings, which is why im prepared to pay for half a year upfront. Paying more than that sounds a bit-pisstakey and BTL landlords in the uk are scumbags so I don't really trust them with more than that.
Plus I'm saving that money for facial feminisation surgery.

I have had several roommates over the course of my life. To some it up. -Belligerent Drunks -Drug users -Mentally unstable to some degree. If you can afford to live on your own, then you should. I should have never had any fucking roommates. Find a way to make more money dude.
Angel Edwards
>-Drug users >-Mentally unstable to some degree.
i mean that's basically me. If i find out these guys smoke weed every day I'd be over the mood. Atleast then I wouldnt feel the need to get shitfaced every friday and saturday night.

All landlords in the UK are scumbags. Boomers charging obscene amounts for shitholes and fucking roastie estate agencies "inspecting" you every couple of months. The ones who let rooms are even worse and insist that in addition to paying out the nose you have to be their best freind. Fucking state of this country. I feel for you.
Maybe you're like me and you've thought about it once, but if you really think about it, you'll basically die over the winter because any amount of insulation won't help keep something that isnt designed to retain heat, at all, or just go insane because 4g internet is shit. Plus you'll cook in that box during the summer.

that wasn't so bad guys. Only one girl was home cause the others were at work. got the tour, and she left before we got downstairs again.
If I get denied over that i'll put the window through.
Nicholas Gonzalez
Actually, being a robot can help. People don't won't gross roomies, who never clean the kitchen and that make a lot of noise
Take a good shower, dress well (but casual), and you'll be fine
Yeah, don't go live by yourself. Better stay with roomies for a while, and save some money.

This is spot on.
>be me, looking for apartment >find one for cheap on craigslist >its in a nice area too >housemate sounds like a cool dude over texts >show up to look at the place >its actually pretty decent >housemate is a total chad >he says ill be living in the basement which is cool with me >months pass by >everything going smooth >chad and i drink all the time and play beer pong >one day chad says he has to move out because he's going to college >that fucking sucks >he tells me his sister will be my new housemate >mfw gonna live with a girl for 8 months >i hope shes not too ugly >week goes by >i drop chad off at the airport >drive to the apartment >i meet chad's sister >she's just as good looking as chad is >jackpot >im gonna be living with this babe she's gonna be down to fuck too >introduce myself >chad's sister does the same >she sets up boundaries right away like i can't use the shower between these hours and the bathroom toilet seat has to be down >its all good because im into the femdom shit anyway just as long as she isn't too bitchy >turns out she is >turns out she's complaining about me sitting inside all day and not going out >im not even interacting with her >it just pisses her off i get to stay inside all day and she has to work at hot topic >one day im bringing in groceries >i bought everything on the list she made >i pack it in the fridge and pantry and go to bed >wake up >see her smoking a cigarette outside >she waves at me to come out on the balcony >i do >"ok first of all you totally fucked up the fucking positions of the groceries like you totally packed it all retarded" >imagine hearing this in a cali girl accent by some dumb as bricks 5'3 blonde girl >"and second you got pretty much nothing that i wanted right sooooo you're not in charge of groceries anymore" >i tell her wtf i did everything right >apparently when she wrote eggs she wanted Dutch farm grown >mfw
Humans are designed to survive in extremely adverse conditions. Surely living in a van and having some extra insulation won't be so bad. Why not drive south? The winters aren't so bad down there. Don't be a pussy

The very first day I showed up to live with my female housemate, the first thing she said was 'if i ever see you anywhere near my room when I'm sleeping, I'm gonna stab you and call the cops no questions asked'. It made me feel bad

Been homeless before sleeping on a squalid concrete floor for weeks. OP is just not familiar with hardship and doesn't know how to utilize basic tools to survive.
Caleb Miller
No she's fat and looks like those British Wiccan witch lesbo cult girls, except she's fat. So like a 3/10 if i was being generous.
And yes she is a dumb bitch. Dude she believes in spells and power crystals and shit. Every conversation I have with her is like some tolkien fantasy
Yeah you can tell from this exchange alone how difficult roommates are. Even if everyone is cool everyone has different ideas on how you are "supposed" to act, and some people expect special treatment and unreasonable demands for no fucking reason at all. And I'm not talking about keeping the house clean, reasonable shit like that, but like weird schedule things, don't touch the toilet paper except on tuesday; people are fucking crazy man. Also good luck with the dishes situation, if you're roommates complain about dishes but never do them then you gotta RUN if you can. I basically stopped cooking at my last place because of how annoying that got, even though it's a hobby of mine and I always did the dishes, for some reason I would get blamed when it turns out it was some other guy who never did them, which was revealed when I stopped cooking. But I took all the blame for it for months. More than one roommate is just a setup for disaster if you aren't all on the same page

You sound like an entitled pussy. Man up you faggot and learn to rough it for a while so you can save money
