[quote=Anonymous]I've been living with my current roommate for about a year. It's an apartment. She's the only one on the lease. I pay her a flat rate for rent every month. She complained that last month the electric bill for our 2bd/2ba apartment was $300 and told me that I wash clothes too much and had to use the community laundry facilities. And she still expects rent in full. Her argument was that me doing laundry makes the bill higher. Before this argument occured I had been planning to move, so I told her that my use of electricity and water for shower, cooking etc increases the bill so I would just leave if it's an issue. I am moving by April 1. She said that I still cant do laundry in the apartment. I continued to say her argument was invalid since I'm using utilities for basic needs and left it at that. I do 2-3 loads of laundry weekly. Do I have any recourse here? Also, this person has financial management issues and I suspect is not allocating my rent money as she should due to a late rental notice on the door and her constant complaining about her bills are high and she has trouble with keeping money in her bank account. We also did not have a written agreement, but it was verbally confirmed that the flat rate was for my share of rent and utilities [/quote]
