Being a Rotten Roommate

The plaintiff says she’s a traveling physical therapist and model, and she rented a furnished room from the defendant. She says he freaked out when she used the fridge, and she moved out right away. She’s suing for what she’s owed. The defendant says the plaintiff cooked with heavy oils and cranked up the heat, plus she broke the lease. He’s countersuing for unpaid rent, cleaning costs, ruined kitchenware, and lost wages.

Conclusion: His personality tells me he doesn’t like “other” cultures and tried to get her to leave without refunding her money and ass u me d he could stand on California law because he was too weak to state his true feelings.

[@yelayu8457]

Mm-hmm! I caught that too. “It’s like she came from the…somewhere that didn’t have those facilities”. I wonder what he was going to say? The streets? The jungles? It’s very clear what his issue was, and in my opinion, it didn’t have anything to do with how she left the place, but who she was and the fact that she wasn’t the *type* of person he wanted living with her. He clearly had some prejudices and caught himself before he let it slip out. Glad she was able to get away from him. He seems like the type who might have been violent toward women in general, but especially women of color, so she made the right decision to move as soon as possible.

[@yelayu8457]

“It’s almost like she came from the…somewhere where she didn’t have those facilities.” When he said that, it told me all I needed to know. She’s a traveling registered nurse (a VERY financially lucrative career) who easily sent him $2000 immediately to move into his house because HE needs money. I’d say she’s doing much better than him & is probably accustomed to better facilities than he is. Then he says the washing machine was always full? Well, was she always at work and unable to talk or was she always washing? Somebody’s not going the math right. She leaves fruit out? Like every sane person in America does? And based on how aggressive, rude, & dismissive he is, he probably approached her in a very disrespectful way and expected her to stop everything she was doing to address his deranged complaints. He seems mentally unwell. It seems he had a personal problem with her. Then he rants about the contract, but doesn’t seem to understand that telling her directly to leave breaks the contract. Imagine trying to explain contracts to a lawyer, judge, and legal expert. Glad that she able to get out and get away from him. He seems like the type who’d become violent. What a sad man.
