Dear Sam,
This is my final polite attempt to reasonably ask you to move-out and end tenancy at 1339 Lipan St, Denver, Co, 80204. I have provided many reasons as to why I do not want you to live here. In the beginning it was your friend Cameron staying on my couch every Monday and Wednesday night in order to make an early class (that he sometimes chose not to go to). Then it was the random female overnight guests, at my count 5-6, only one of which I knew (Christa) because she came by more than once. It was the annoyance of having girls I didn’t know relaxing on my couches when I wanted to use them, and the danger of having them leave in the morning, or late at night, and leaving the door unlocked. It is the yellow mold (as I know it) that has come dripping down my walls since you have moved in. Due to your long showers and lack of ventilation. These same long showers that have prompted me to go to the gym early (or anywhere with a toilet) when I’m not able to use the restroom because you monopolize it. And then your acknowledgment of the mold that you never cleaned. It’s the fact that I feel like a maid now. I am the only one who does any cleaning. I accepted the responsibility of finding recycling (something that benefits you, our neighbors, and the environment). I know this may be hard for you to understand, but you moved into a household where you got only benefits from the place I was originally living; benefits that were put in place by me. Benefits that I got from hard work (working two jobs) and 18 credit hour school schedules. Everything I enjoyed about my house was ripped out from under me when you moved in.
Your ignorance and lack of apathy for the fact that I really only had four days to choose a roommate. Between Austin leaving with only two weeks notice, and me going on vacation. I would have gladly paid an extra month rent in order to avoid this situation, but unfortunately for me I didn’t have the money to spare seeing as I spent it all on plane tickets. And whether you want to admit it or not, the fact that you are lucky that I was in that down trodden situation because Byron and Colleen wanted the place to themselves, and had I not asked you to move in you would eventually be moving out their house into the same situation I am proposing now. The unnerving fact that, I honestly brought up my issues with you, and then you told me, not 10 minutes before Lydia came over to sign the EPA agreement, that you would not sign a lease at that time and you did it anyways. That I was nice enough at the time, to not make a scene and air your dissatisfactory living habits to Lydia because it’s not a decent thing to do to a person. A mistake I made again in your favor. The fact that I trusted you to not sign the agreement until you had another place locked down, even though you weren’t making the proper sacrifices to actually move. The fact that, because of the devious way you signed a lease, I have no way to protect myself. Lydia is unwilling to help me because she doesn’t want to get involved. I voiced that I would be uncomfortable living with you, and I basically ended up getting assigned you as a roommate.
What you are doing in my eyes is preying on my niceness. I gave you three months to figure out your living situation. I ask you again to imagine this situation in reverse. If you had been living here and loving it, and you were in a similar situation (limited time, money, choices) and that someone moved in that you didn’t enjoy living with. And when you politely asked them to leave, they said they would, then said they wouldn’t. And told you, “If you don’t like living here, then you should move.” How would you feel if you had heard this: Move out of your own home (that you were living in first), because you accidently invited the wrong person to live with you (something you can’t know until you actually make the decision). It’s rude, and breaks all the laws of common decency. I’ve done everything I can to accommodate your needs to move-out. And rather than be honest and accept the difficult task ahead of you (getting a higher paying job, working more, taking out a loan, going to your parents, etc.) you take the route of attempting to force the rightful tenant (me) out of my home.
