My question involves a roommate in the State of: FL
My name is Scott i live in Tampa Florida
September 27th. My roomate proceeds to knock on door at 9am to use my cell phone( His is disconnected). I wake up not happy that i had been woken up at 9 on my day off. I give him my phone and tell him to pay his phone bill and close my door. He knew i was unhappy but didnt seem to care because....
October 1st- Roomate again knocks on my door for the same thing. I get very agitated (i work 55 hours a week with 2 days off so i work alot of 12 hour shifts). This time i was not as easy going as i was the previous time. I was honest but firm about his financial situation. He begins to blame my dog among others things why he cant pay his bills. Part of this is true because my parents adopted me a dog and it turns out that my complex doesnt allow german shephards to live here i was forced to stay on a month to month lease extension which did raise my rent by $180. My 12 month ended in august so ive been living month to month for 2 months and planned to be out by the end of October.
October 7th-8th- My roomate procceds to move out with no notice or no rent/utilities. I confront him about it and he tells me that he will give it to me before the night was over. (which of coarse didnt happen)
Getting him to sign the moveout paper was not pleasant. I had to track him down at his job because i first had the complex call him a few times and he just kept lying telling them he was going to come by and sign it. which he never did. AND he wont tell me where hes staying and i needed him to sign the MOVEOUT notice so i can leave. When he saw me he started walking in the other direction. I had his manager go get him and i explained the situation to the manger.. . He scribbled a signiture on the paper. and i handed it in, This was done on OCTOBER 15. 15 days into the month. my apartment complex only requires a 15 day notice to move out. If i take him to court what can i expect as far as reimbursement since most places require 30 days.
im out about $700
