Hi, here’s my story. So, back in November I moved out of my parents and moved a couple states away to Oregon. They are starting to cut me out of their life, the only reason they are still talking to me is so I can give them monthly payments for the car but that’s okay.
I moved to Oregon hoping for a new start to discover myself. On the lease there were three girls signed. On the day that I moved in there was a guy there. They informed me that he was living under the radar and asked if that was okay. Informing me that he would be doing the dishes and keeping the common area clean in return. Stupidly, I agreed. This is the first time that I was out on my own, but my common sense went out the window for that.
Anyways, things were fine, for a while. The girl who was dating the guy, I’ll call the girl dating the guy J and the guy A. J’s 21st birthday came up. So, naturally she went to get drunk and her friends came over. I went to bed early that night due to having work tomorrow. The next morning J had said there was 80 dollars missing, I told her I had no idea. Keep in mind at this point I had been living at the apartment for about 3 weeks. She told our other roommate, H, that she thought I took it.
She continued to accuse me of minor things like taking gum, hiding her shoes, taking her leftovers from the fridge. Stupid things like that. But they were minor. I can avoid a racist roommate. So, I didn’t bother too much with it. Enter A, who took up the big brother role.
Things started to get weird. He’d start knocking at my door at 2 or 3 in the morning asking if I was up saying that he needed to talk. It was always shit talking J, he was going through her phone and blocking men. Always accusing her of cheating. I wanted no part, I was just a listening ear.
Now A, was and still is a drug dealer. Not to mention that he uses both coke and heroin. Prior to coming here, I lived a very Mormon sheltered life. So, this was all very new to me. Though he started to get aggressive and even looked through my phone. Him looking through my phone only happened twice.
A, asked me for $300 to pay off a drug dealer because he got in trouble. Naturally, I helped him out. It took him almost two months to pay me back. This has happened twice, he still has not paid me back for the second time and again it’s almost been two months. Not to mention he also abuses the dog, they both neglect her. Though they won’t let her go, and I want to call animal control but then it’ll backfire and make it worse on me and my roommate H.
H just wants to wait it out. I want to move out and leave this the hell behind. I want to be with my fiancé but he lives in Arkansas, I have to drive across the country. I’ve applied to over a 100 jobs and didn’t get accepted to any of them. I got a couple interviews and then was denied. Doordashing is being a huge backfire because I’m spending more on gas than I’m earning. Half it already gets taken due to using doordash and then the taxes.
Also, J and A always leave the common area a mess and all their dishes piled up in the sink. They leave the food just on the plates and throw it in the sink for weeks. There’s been rotting steak in there before and it reeks. I had to clean out the fridge a while ago to place my food items in there. Moldy cheese, tomatoes, lunch meat, strawberries from valentines day (I cleaned it out late May). It filled half a big black garbage bag. They refuse to talk to me. Literally will just glare at me all the time.
Just a couple days ago I went to put something in H’s room, and J’s room was open. I was on my side of the apartment when I heard her call me a bitch and slam her door. They’re upset because I called the apartments and told them that there was someone living there who wasn’t supposed to. Because I felt unsafe, my mental health was going down and I was keeping myself in my room with the door locked because of how unsafe I felt.
My apartments won’t let me out of my lease, I have $1,830 left for the remainder of the last three months. My plan is to just leave and pay it as if I am still there. However, I still have to pay to get my car checked, insurance, gas, car, food, and places to stay on the road trip to Arkansas. Not to mention the payments I already have to make due to credit cards. But I am not worrying about paying that off, I just want to make minimum payments on that. I need between $4,000 to $5,000 to leave.
