I'm currently renting a townhome with my fiancee while she finishes up college, and for the first year we lived with my friend David. All was well. Unfortunately, he had to move out when the lease expired back in August. We figured we'd get another friend in, and renew since we liked the place. So here's how it unraveled...
1) My friend Scott agrees to move in for a year beginning of July. Lease is due for renewal August 1st. Around the end of July Scott tells me that due to family issues, he can no longer move.
2) I scramble to find a replacement, and have to resort to craigslist. I find a fellow university student, who moves in August 1st. Whew.
3) October, my roommate tells me he no longer has enough money to pay for school and thusly, is moving back home. He gives me November's rent and leaves around the end of October, even though he signed the lease until July 2009.
4) Early November, I find an acquaintance from a university club I'm in who is willing to move in and take over that portion of the lease.
5) Mid November, I find out that he can't move out from the place he's currently at. Back to craigslist I go.
6) I find a roommate who is coming down from Jacksonville to go to UCF, and he can move in by the 3rd week of December. I agree to eat 3/4 of the month's rent to get him moved in. He comes down in early December and stays for a few days to take care of registration at UCF. Picks move in date as the Sunday before Christmas.
7) Sunday rolls by, and no word from him. I try calling his cell phone, which is turned off. I send him an email.
8) Today I get a call from his parents up in Jacksonville. They said he got a DUI the night before he was supposed to move in, and is sitting in jail. It being his second DUI in 5 years, he had his licenses suspended, and is no longer coming down to UCF.
9) To be continued...
This is fucking fun
