Here is the deal. I am a junior in college. My parents bought a house right near campus for me to live in and also for a investment(its a pretty damn good one, they are almost guarenteed a profit in the long run). Anyway, I will be studying abroad next semester in Tokyo Japan so I wont be here. This makes things even harder then they should be.

I really dont like my roomates. All of their G/Fs piss me off, they are very republican and religious while I am not, they are EXTREMELY messy, and their friends piss me off. I have finally had enough of this crap. Ontop of it they dont pay rent on time, they do it very relaxed like...kind of taking advantage of the fact that my parents own the place.

I had known them before i moved in but no this well...it was a mistake..

Now the problem is that it is April...kinda late for them to find a new place (not really tho). But its hard for me to find friends that arnt already commited to a place...AND I will be going to Japan next semester so it also complicates things.

I really dread the idea of living another 2 semesters with these people...

suggestions?

Business is business, if they can't pay their rent on time, kick 'em to the curb IMO.

Have you talked to them about their problems?
Have you said, "I need you to start paying the rent the day it's due, otherwise you are getting thrown to the curb."

I say give them a warning first such as "If you guys keep making late payments on the house, or stop keeping this house reasonably clean, i'm going to have no choice but to kick you out".

If you've already warned them, then throw them to the curb. It's college. We all get a little lazy, a little behind. Give them one chance to make things better before throwing them out on the streets.

No, when my parents approached me with the idea of buying a house I strickly said

"its fine with me, as long as i dont have to act as a land lord...such as bug them about payments"

I have a bit. I dont like to bother my parents tho. They both work a lot and are stressed enough as it is. I told them I dont like them and would like it if we got diffrent people in there.

To be fair..i have a bad history with roomates..so they are kind of tired of changing all the time. I know what you are thinking..."Ever think the problem is you? not them?". I am a pretty easy going guy..i have just had some bad luck.

1. First roomate in college wanted to beat the crap out of me...he looked like vin deisel. He was turkish, I am part greek...go figure...

2. Extreme Pot heads that all knew eachother, and serioulsy would not talk to me. They would just leave msgs on the door instead.

3. 3 girls....Sounds great!! NO..DONT DO IT...EVER...lol

4. Dorm..no problem there actually. Just had to move out cause of age and such.

So you don't want to talk to your roomates, don't want to talk to your parents and somehow expect us to help you?

lol, well obviously i will need to talk to someone eventually soon. I have talked it over with my mom and she seems ok with it..just reluctant cause she is tired all the time.

More is the point is how I want to tell them, and how I will find other roomates at this time. I see them a lot in other activities, and have mutual friends(other then the ones that come over all the time). I dont want to seem like a complete and utter bastard....

then you cant kick them out without going to court and that would take up to june or july. might as well let the leese run out. if you do kick them out while they have a leease they can sue you for lots of cash. because it is illeagle

Here's the first lesson in LIFE 101.... It's not personal, it's business. Put them on written notice that failure to pay on time next month will be considered 30 days notice. Then when it's late, give them a 30 day eviction notice.
It's too late to do anything about their messines, but when you give them the notice add in there that any additional clean up will be charged to them, and get them to sign it. If they don't sign, kick them out.
No judge in small claims will cut them any slack either.
OH,
and :camera:'s are your friend. Take them, make copies and give it to them with the notice, saying that sort of behavior will no longer be tolerated.
Grow some stones. Remind them that true conservative principals are self reliance and responsibility. The "tended by servants " lifestyle is for the "rich and famous" of which they are not members .... yet.

See that would be leaving on some rough terms..I would rather not do that. Make it as smooth as possible.

I am pretty easy to get along with, and am very confrontational at times...But situations like this I dont know why..but I am no good.

It all depends on how you deliver the news.
If it's framed in the manner of " this is what I got handed and this is on you", and you don't give them attitude, then any "rough terms" is on them. And jerks that give you "rogh terms" about what is a matter of THEIR personal responsibility AREN'T your FRIENDS in the first place. If that's the case, then they're just taking advantage of your non-confrontational manner.
Remember, It's not personal, It's business.

Instead of dodging the problem and creating the problem of having to find new roommates, why don't you just sit them down and lay down the law.

Tell them that if they don't play by your rules and make your house comfortable for you to live in that you will kick them out. Regardless of who's parents own the house, if you're all paying rent, then it's not anyone's right or privledge to make living there discomforting.

It just so happens that you have the means to do something about it in this situation.

Their actions aren't bad enough to not give them a warning.
