I know I don't regularly post here, (or anywhere for that matter), but it seems you would all be more experienced (no offense, but I do mean older in this context, and for this topic, hopefully more experienced).
I own a house. I use roommates and their rent to cover my mortgage. This in itself is usually not a problem. But I have roommate moving out very soon with about a weeks notice. He has however, offered to pay until the 15th of November. He also wants until then to get his shit out.
I am twenty-three and cannot afford to one month where I can't cover my mortgage.
In this situation financially, I need to have a new roommate in by Nov 15.
I have a potential new roommate ready to move in Nov 1st though. (Guaranteed, he starts working in this city Nov 5)
So should I kick the guy (who already has the room [paid till Oct 31st, and wants the room until the 15th]) out on the first, and say sorry, you haven't given me nearly enough warning, please leave the first so I can keep my house (Cause or mortgage problems), or does that seem really rude? This guy literally told me Oct 24 that he was moving out, yet wants until the fifteenth to get his stuff out. Can I in good conscience tell him to get the fuck out on the first of November?
What would you do in the same situation?
