When I first rented my apartment, my roommate Milly seemed friendly, but she rarely bought supplies, didn\u2019t clean, and was always late with bills. I even covered her rent a few times when she promised to pay me back\u2014but she never did.<\/p>\n

One day, she left to stay with her boyfriend and stopped responding to my messages about rent. I ended up paying the full rent for two months while most of her belongings were still in the apartment.<\/p>\n

After warning her several times with no reply, I spoke to the landlord. The locks were changed, and my friends helped pack up her things. I donated what looked old and kept anything valuable.<\/p>\n

A few days later, Milly showed up furious that the locks were changed and some of her belongings were gone. I told her I\u2019d tried contacting her for months and couldn\u2019t keep storing her stuff forever.<\/p>\n

She left angry, but I finally had peace\u2014and learned an important lesson: set clear boundaries with roommates and never ignore financial responsibilities.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
