A Good Thing Turned Into Disaster
So, I kicked my roommate's ass to the curb. His disgusting, sloppy, druggie, delinquent lifestyle is no longer a part of my living space. At the same time, I didn't realize I went about the process all wrong.
The Apartment Manager came over while Andy wasnt home, changed the lock, then drilled through and destroyed Andy's deadbolt lock and replaced it with a standard door knob. I then proceeded to bag and pack all his shit up, neatly... broke nothing... wrote down all his electronics on an inventory sheet. Now, Andy claims he's got a lawyer and is trying to sue me... I told him "Bring It On." The Police said even though he wasnt on the lease, he had a right to be there because he was "established" and that by breaking his lock it was possibly "break in and entry," even "burglary" and that I had no right to throw him out or go through his things. Now, Andy is accusing me of stealing his narcotic medication, $80, and that I owe him some $500 security deposit which is NOT true (I can furnish evidence that my Father paid the $1000 security deposit.) All I did was neatly bag up all his things and move it into the kitchen. He has no proof of the missing money/medication. And now my former good friend, Taylor B. Wilkens, whom I have known for over two years, is going to testify against me in court, should it go that far. I am outraged. He has twisted her so deeply, turned her onto drugs and she is not the same person I knew out of high school, or even before she met Andy in December 2005. So now the landlord is all upset because I was allowing someone to live there without his knowledge for four months. I called Taylor's parents and gave them the downlow on what Andy is all about - a delinquent drug user who uses and emotionally abuses his significant others, then manipulates them...and that I'm worried for Taylor. I also told her Mom that Andy still loves his Son's Mother and that he would leave Taylor in a heartbeat. He's just using Taylor.
I am at my wit's end. I have been so stressed out and the only way I've been able to get any sleep is by having a couple drinks and taking enough Benadryl to drop unconscious. This is completely unfair, and the whole thing blew up in my face. There is now a very good chance I will get evicted over this, should the cops decide to ticket my landlord and that he is upset enough over what has all happened. I did what I had to do. Andy refused to leave upon my asking him (I gave him a little over two weeks to get moved out.) He told me he had no intention of leaving; in fact, he planned in staying for a few more months. He can very easily move in with his Brother, whom has a condo in Brookfield. In fact, when I told him he had to leave, he got confrontational and violent with me. After his Mother left (it was either Monday the 13 or Tuesday the 14,) he grabbed me by the shirt and hit me in the face.
Does anyone blame me for what I did? Not particularly. I did what I had to do to protect my property, my well-being and myself.
