Tough and long but I'll do my best to explain this as simple as possible.
My friends parents moved out of their house. They are now living in another state. The house is empty, thus they rent the rooms out. I got one room. Another guy got another room. And my friend (whose parents own the house) got the 3rd room. My friend is rarely here because he also has a room at his girlfriend's parents house. So most of the time its me and the other roomie. Lets call him John.
Neither me or my friend really knows John. He was introduced to us by my friends big brother, who we shall call David. David doesn't even know John that well. John is a coworker of David's friend. But everything is fine with me. Now David doesn't live in the house but he lives in a storage room that's been renovated into a studio. This studio sits on the same property as the house but is not connected in any way. The studio has its own kitchen, bathroom, tv, etc. David keeps to himself because he has everything in his place and we never really talked.
A few months after I moved in, my friends parents came back to visit. They still have a room reserved for them in the house. So it was kind of akward but they were very nice. During their visit, David occassionally came over to eat and hang out; which is cool since his parents were visiting. But now ever since his parents have left, he STILL comes over. He'll cook and eat here. He'll lay on the couch and watch TV. This makes me VERY uncomfortable.
First because he has a kitchen and TV in his place. He's been eating and watching TV at his place before so I don't understand why he decides to come here now to do it. Second, I feel like he has no rights to just come in the house whenever he wants (he has keys). His parents rented out the rooms and in a sense we are tenants (although we also know each other on a personal level). If he wants to play the role of landlord, that's fine. This IS his house since his parents own it. But once you rent it out, you can't decide to come in whenever the hell you want. You still have to respect the privacy of the tenant. Third, I feel uncomfortable when he is here. I never got a chance to get to know him and I rather not. My friend said David is a loner for a reason. NO ONE gets along with him. Not even his siblings and friends. So when he's here chilling and sh*t, I feel like I have no freedom to go outside of my room.
I'm thinking of talking to my friend and maybe somehow work something out. But I don't really want to bother him and make him the middle man in all of this unnecessarily since he's usually busy.
What do you guys think?
