    A friend?

    First of all, in my humble opinion, this lady is not a true friend. Friends don't treat each other this way.

    If you have nothing in writing, lease/rental wise, you are screwed.

    Lastly, I think she will have a hard time selling a house knowing what the market is in many parts of the country.

    I would find a place to live, quickly, and leave the situation. I really would consider the "friendship" stressed beyond the normal...and write this off to being a bad lesson in life.

    I am sorry your friend couldn't and wasn't more honest with you.

    Yeppers! You need to re-evaluate what you call a friend. 'Cuz her definition of friendship is a one-way street. All coming her way.

    Count yourself lucky to cross this one off your list instead of trying to make it something that it so obviously isn't.

    Demand more from friends. (Like to be treated with dignity and respect). True friends will live up to your expectations -- yeah, sometimes they will let you down -- but not MOST of the time.

    Ask yourself, "Would I ever treat a person this way?"

    Find a copy of the lease, and read it to figure out what your rights are. She is not, as the others mentioned, a friend. She has been using you. I hope you find a better place to live. If you can figure out who the realtor is that is listing the house, talk to that person and let her/him know you live there and would like advance notice of any showings.

    Karen is right, start with the agreement.

    then do the following.

    Let her know first, then install a lock on your room.

    Unless you both are working 7 days a week, find time to meet with her. Do it at her convenience.

    Take pictures of all of your things so if something else is damaged you have evidence for small claims court.

    If he ever calls again like that, do one of two things. Either hang up on him, or record the conversation (as always, be civil and say something like "my lawyer recommends that I record all phone calls between us now so I will be recording this call)".

    then get the H**L out of that place!

    These are not the droids you were looking for

    I think that women is being incredibly stupid, but it's her life I guess. She
    has lost a good friend in you through her own "love" blindness.

    I have a dear friend who walked away from a house with 15yrs of equity
    just to follow her "true love" to a small town away from Indy. Just heard
    last week that the relationship has gone south after little more than one
    year. People can be so dumb sometimes. I hope you can find a place of
    your own soon. Best of luck with that.

    My girlfriends use to have a saying "Boyfriends come and boyfriends go but your friends will be there forever".. One all the $$$ is gone, he will be history and she will be minus a good friend and her home.

    What would I do.. I would be packing and getting out of there as soon as I could and cut of THAT money he is getting.
