I'm at my wits end. thanks for any advice.I just don't know what my rights are in this situation

    If you don't get along with your roommates, your best option is to explore alternative arrangements. There's no law that will make your roommates be nice to you or not "boss you around".

    I understand that and I am exploring other options.mostly we get along just was looking into my rights so I know what they can do and can't do.

    It is a hotel room, not an apartment. You can move. You complain to the owner, who will tell you to move. You can be silent and deal with it.

    Legally, they can boss you around. If there are additional facts you believe are relevant, you need to share them.

    1:if our mental illness starts clashing she says I have to go stay at the homeless shelter for 2 to 3 days.cause she needs a break from me or I get a beating from her cause she blacks out and goes after whoever last upset her.

    2:if I don't do a chore her way.she yells and orders me to go for walks then proceeds to redo whatever I've done up to that point.

    If your roommate wants you to leave you can say "no". If there are grounds upon which you need to be involuntarily treated for a mental health disorder, your roommate can contact the police for assistance. If you are the victim of a crime you can contact the police for assistance.

    If she cleans up after you, what's to complain about? If she says you do a lousy job cleaning, well, how many times do you need to be told that stuff like that is not against the law.

    If you are assaulted, you can call the police. They will investigate and likely arrest someone or order them to leave. Based on your story of assault, I would consider a shelter or look for a roommate on a site like Craigslist. This is not an endorsement of Craigslist.
