Help! My roommate needs a good kick out the door and some therapy!?

My lease is not up until June of 2008! My roommate is insane, she has random men over every day, most of them i fear for my safety just being around them. She leaves her used condoms all over the floor and my dog has almost eaten one. She is the biggest pig ever, i am always cleaning up after her. Every weekend she lets random people sleep in our living room while she leaves for work or has sex in her room. She gives her keys out to her guy friends to come over to the apartment and pick things up for her. They eat all my food, trash the place, use my things, have put scratches in my new 42" plasma. Nothing i say to her changes things. I need to find a way to make my landlord kick her out or transfer her to another unit. Why should i have to be the one to move? Almost everything in this apartment is mine, i can't afford to hire movers again to get all my stuff out. And I'd have to uproot my dog and my cats, whom she constantly yells at and abuses. Please help me! We have separate leases so i can't kick her out, we each rent a bedroom in a two bedroom unit. I am talking to the manager tomorrow, i hope they reason with me or let me out of my lease this is horrendous! I can't just leave, if i leave before my lease ends i have to keep paying rent even if i don't live there, my lease contract says so, i can't afford to pay to live somewhere else and my old apartment. Candy i don't appreciate your attitude i don't have a problem Guys...Moving out is NOT an option. I cannot afford to pay rent to two apartments, my lease will only let me move out if i continue to pay the remainder of my owed rent till the lease is up, which is thousands! Please stop telling me to move i wish i could For the person who said they needed more details: We were friends last year and we decided to rent a place. I left for the summer to see my family in NJ, then came back to Indiana for school. She became worlds biggest slut over the summer. She never goes to classes, works a dead end job. Each day becomes more awkward talking to her as we have nothing in common anymore. I know she uses me, but i cant just not clean the apartment, i refuse to live in a mess and will not put my dog or my cats through that either..She drinks constantly, shes only 19 and she gets high on our balcony every weekend...today was the worst fight between us i flipped on her, rightfully so i feel.

Kick her out.
thats terrible I dont know what you can do though except talk to your landlord
You can break the lease if she has put you in a dangerous situation. Take pictures of the condoms, the men sleeping over, the condition of the place, etc. Show them to the landlord. If that doesn't work, you will have to move out yourself. You will need the pictures in case she sues you.
This sucks, Tell your roommate you worry for your safety. Use those words surely she/he will kick her out. You gotta use the word random men dangerous behaviors and your safety. these are keywords you have to know the landlords dont need trouble like that. Worse case call the officers dont call 911 but just go to the police and ask their advice.
Get friends to help you move out, with your tax refund money Jan 0f 08...not too far away... and just up and leave.... worry about urself not her or the landlord...
Next time you get the chance, put a bunch of mouse traps around the place, SET...... when they walk around barefoot, and manage to step onto one of these, it will hurt. If they ask you why you did this, just say "because of all the trash and stuff you leave lying on the floor, we now have a mouse problem in the house"
You shouldnt move, she will be breaching the tenancy definitely, omg i feel so sorry for you. Report the S lut
if shes on the lease... u dont have any easy legal footing to stand on... u would have to hire an attorny and mabye get a restraining order of somekind... if shes not on the lease... ask her to leave.. if she dont... then hire an attorney to get her out that protects you... if i was you since u didnt or wasnt aware of this persons lifestyle... take it as a lesson in life and move out the end result would be better then if you make her move..
Is the lease in both your names? If its just in yours you can give her notice NOW! If not you need to let your landlord now that she is giving out keys which is a security issue. I fear for your animals safety what is she doing to them when your not there? There may be a tenant board where you live and maybe they can give you some advice. When you do get rid of her make sure you have the locks changed even if you have to pay for it yourself. God knows who's got a copy of the keys. You need to let the landlord know that she is letting strangers into the building also. To the person who said take pictures-great idea-make sure you do that. You need proof. If you can find someone to take over your part of the lease then your not on the hook for rent. Good luck.
you need her out!kill her!just kidding.lol you can bring friends over too to annoy her. the manager will believe you,you need to put ur stuffs in ur room and lock it!
wow...this is really horrible..like someone said...take pictures of the stuffs she be leaving and stuff...shes really a pig.
Well you have some issues. Whatever your roommate is doing i have more ?s about. Drugs? Is she your friend ?Doyou talk? I need more than the bad stuff.
Write a letter to her saying things are not working out.(make a copy for your records) Include the date and stuff. Take pictures of everything just incase she gets pissed and trashes things or takes stuff.Im not sure what state your from but you have to give her some notice. Look for a new roomate now if you need 1 for the future. If you save your pictures and stuff u document, you take her to small claims court for stuff missing or damages. Be safe then sorry.
Errmmm, You arn't no ordinary student are you? You need your own space, and don't wish to share it with , whom I could only describe as a whore.... You seem very assertive, and make adult type assertions, but why are you here asking opinions on what you need to do???? GET RID. No matter what the cost. You have a bad room mate - fine if you want what she does, but.... You want a future. That unfortunately means getting your hands dirty and laying some bricks to create your foundations. If the foundations are wrong, knock them down and start over again.
You know, your room mate seems to have the best time of her life. Who would not enjoy having you as as her room mate since she can entertain friends much more "random men" daily, allow them to sleep in your place, you clean her mess, she eats all your foods, she has access to your personal things, use your plasma42,etc,etc! If you want to stop complaining and whining...then it is time for you to move out of that place.You will spend more money when you get a heart attack than hiring movers to get your stuff and pets out of that house!
She sounds like she's a whore behind your back and using you big time. I suggest either calling the cops on her, calling the landlord, or the American specialty: sue her. Get her in therapy. Throw her out on the streets where she belongs!!!
I feel for you, but the law is on her side. There's no law or clause in the rental agreement that she can't have guests over or give the keys to other people. If she takes or damages your things, you can charge her for them, but that's not grounds for forcing her to move out. If you cannot get her to move out voluntarily, you will need to move out yourself. It is EXTREMELY rare for a judge to order a landlord to evict a tenant before the lease ends, unless she has illegal weapons or drugs or something like that. I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but that's what the law says.
whats her # ?send it through the grape vine.to much is some times enough . we wish this would work despite the trouble.Get a friend with a truck and move.write a formal complaint with copys' . Present it to the management. then move when nothing is done.
Ok, here's a different strategy. If you have a separate lease, then it is technically your landlord's duty to make sure that the common areas of your apartment are safe for you to live in. This is not the case apparently. Look back in your lease paperwork and see if it specifies any such duty there - that's helpful. Even if it doesn't, your lease has an "implied warranty of fitness" just the same as if you were buying merchandise. Your landlord, by failing to curb your roommate's actions, has breached this warranty. The lease is divisible (meaning you pay a month at a time) so you could move out. If your landlord sues for the rest of the time on the lease, you have the breach of the warranty as your defense. You could sue the landlord for breach or you could sue for negligence, and with either you could recover special damages for any harm (such as your TV) caused actually and proximately by the landlord's failure to do his/her duty. You could also sue your roommate for the damages she caused DIRECTLY, but not for the damages caused by her visitors.. The damages are caused by the fact that she just doesn't care, but she doesn't have any legal duty to be more responsible for her guests. The landlord, however, does have a duty to make it livable for you, even it that means kicking her out. Best of luck.
Take her to court or something!!! I'm not sure, but I would get some legal action in on it!!! Ask the police if there is something you can do!!!
