How to get out of your lease due to bad roommate?

Is there any way to get out of your lease due to roommate issues. My roommate is just extremely noisy and I don't even think he is enrolled in college anymore so he is constantly partying and it can be extremely disruptive at times. Is there anyway I could break my lease? I lived with him in the past for a year and he was fine, but I find him being excessively loud these days I mean he goes downtown 7 times a week it feels like.

You can probably get someone to take over your part of the lease but I can't imagine your going to get out of it for the reasons you stated.

What does your lease contract say on rules and lease-break agreement?

I really, really, doubt the landlord or property owner would allow you to terminate your lease just because you don't get along with your roommate.

Your only options are to suck it up and make a better decision next time around, or search for someone to sublet.

Where do you live? And how long is your lease?

Where I live (Ontario), you only are required to sign a lease for your first year of tenancy, then you can legally go month to month on your rent. Landlords try and get you to renew the lease, but there's no requirement to do so. After your first year (and the expiration of the initial term of the lease), so long as you provide 60 days notice, you can leave at any time.

I read the thread title and assumed it was bballer who posted it LOL

I feel like I have done everything possible to help accommodate him. I just feel like I am constantly picking up after him, he never does the dishes, only cleans when friends come in town, plays his music at unbearable levels in the middle of the night, I think he is a complete wreck and there is no sense you can talk into this person.

find a soft spot on his head and punch him there

Are you going to answer any of the questions or just keep complaining?

Try talking to this person and be a complete asshole to him whenever he wakes you up and what not. It's worked with me and my roommates (somewhat).


I know how hard it is to talk to someone that you think probably won't change but doesn't hurt in trying. And if he AGREES to keep it down, remind him every time he doesn't and be a complete dick.

Go talk to your landlord and see if there's anything you can do. If he's doing anything illegal, call the cops on him (after continuing to do wake you up in the middle of the night). I know that may seem like a real dick move but I could see myself getting to that breaking point with a roommate to just get some damn peace and quiet.

That's why you've always been, and will continue to always be a complete square head pure scum, you rat bastid.

If I was your roommate, I would wipe my ass with your toothbrush

Show your dick to him and tell him how much you like him and wanna **** him in the ass.....and you tell him you think he's cute..........take a blue pill for your dick hard pretending that your dck hard for him...he would be freaking out and move the out with no question.

Get some ideas from bballer. We need photos, jizz tissue residue and restroom shots of pizza boxes.

I guess dude. My roommates and I just hosted a huge halloween party that had at least 150+ people come/drop by. But you're right, that's pretty square of me to be apart of that.

I would go crazy if my roommate was waking me up every night and playing music after continually asking him to stfu. People actually have lives to attend to and need sleep. It would push me to the complete edge to where I'd seriously consider calling the cops.

So then you confront them, you negotiate, you scream, etc. You don't use private info he's entrusted you with to ruin that person's life, just so you can sleep better at night...not to mention, you must be completely devoid of empathy to actually sleep better after...

When it's affecting your life, you have every right to report to the police. I'd go as far as to say it is your civic duty to report illegal activity.

You must not be a big fan of intelligence. So you're saying this guy who's been living with a roommate, who hypothetically partakes in illegal activities, for over a year, has never complained, called in, or had a moral dilemma about it until the roommate started partying too much and getting too loud...and you're talling about civic duty?

I call it self-righteous hypocrisy, and you're a brainwashed biitch

Now you're trying to fit into the context of the OP. I repeat, if the illegal activity is affecting your life in any way, you have every right to report it to the police. Calling someone a bunch of names because of reporting illegal activity is downright stupidity.

What? Are you a completely incapacitated mongoloid? I'm trying to "fit" my comments into the context of the OP? what a novel concept, im obviously back peddling on my arguments and am staying on topic purely in order to save face.

From now on, please refrain from speaking to macmac directly unless given permission to converse.

The 5 Baseball steps to solving roommate problems.

1. You're up: Have the serious roommate talk.
2. First strike: Beg him not to do it again.
3. Second strike: Threaten to report him to landlord and police.
4. Third strike: Report him to your landlord.
5. You're out: Report him to the police.
6. Repeat step 5 whenever necessary.

Congratulations, you just solved your roommate problem.

So someone is a "scum, rat bastard" if they report someone who is continually interfering with that person's sleep, and therefore affecting other aspects of their life?

1.) I'd say they're more of a p*ssy for not being able to stand up to someone like a man, and instead resorting to whining on a message board, or contemplating calling the cops.

2.) Regardless of the actual content of the disagreement between you two, my earlier post stands.

:rolleyes:

So I tried talking to him today, but he just kept ignoring anything I said and just locked himself in his room and slept. My apartment is a complete f[B]u[/B]cking mess the kitchen floor is littered with trash. In addition, he continues to have his gay friends sleep over night after night who do not pick up after themselves and only make the place dirtier. So since I possess most of the items in the apartment I am slowly moving all the items into my room, which includes 90% of the dishes, TVs, etc. He just trashes the place when he is drunk and it slowly adds up to one giant clusterfizuck.

Good decision. No need to call anybody.

Stop talking to him. Don't acknowledge his existence.

Everything that is yours, make sure he never sees again. Easy. Watch him fall apart. Either that, or he'll kill you in your sleep. Make sure to lock your door.

unless your lease has a bad roommate clause you're f*cked.

get your roommate to find a friend to take over your rent, or you yourself find someone to take it over.

[QUOTE=jaydacris]just bring over dudes and have sex with lots of dudes

eventually he'll be grossed out and break off from the lease on his own[/QUOTE]

yeah that is a great idea. bring over dudes and have a gay sex orgy for my GAY roommate. god you are a moron.

In the process of searching for someone to take over my lease. I would let his friends take it over, but none of them can afford the rent.

Gotta be civil and negotiate man.

It's tough. But just straight up look him in the pupils of his eyes, and let him KNOW that you are S.U.F.F.E.R.I.N.G. That this was supposed to be a cooperative effort for the both of us, and by you being an irresponsible f*ck, and not getting your shit in order, you will S.U.F.F.E.R worse.. or to something to that tune. I'll tell you, man, that you ought to learn some persuasive skills... saying it in the right tone, negotiating, eye for an eye, You clean up your dishes... I hook u up with a dime.. you keep the noise steady.. i'll share some pizza with you etc. . This will help immensely later in life in getting what you want, and especially parenthood type sh!t.

I'm in the exact same situation, but my roommate doesn't really party.. rather plays videogames all day and is a f*cking pussywhipped bum who dropped out of all his classes. Well, I actually have 3 roommates (2 who are fine), but this last one is a worthless fvck. Part of me wants to use guilt trips and emotional blackmail to eat out his soul.. but for now we're seeing steady progress just by bossing his azz around to do some housework. This power game is tough, but you've got to emphasize how reliant the dude is on you, and if you were to disturb his peace (which I suppose is quite a hard feat on his chaotic azz) the negative feelings that ensue. Hit him up with a little Pavlovian conditioning. If he skips out on a party, ro does something responsbile.. give the lil bugger a Klondike Bar. If not, he's got to face your calm, cool, collected, but S.T.E.R.N wrath.

Best of luck, homes, I feel ya pain.

In the meantime, I suggesting becoming stronger friends with him.. u know connecting with him and his crew and reiterating how great it is that you two are living together.
