I definitely think she is taking advantage. I think tonight I am putting my bed back in the bedroom with my daughter and will tell her that we are splitting the rent equally. I can probably live on my own but it would be really tight and I am going to once she moves out, but she's my sister and I can't kick her out. I just need to wait until she moves on her own. I am just trying to make the next few months as bearable as possible.
So, do you think that if she has a room and I share a room with my toddler, that it is fair for us to split the rent equally? Cuz I know she's gonna say that because I have a toddler that I should pay more. Doesn't make sense to me but I know she will say it. Right now she is complaining that because my room is in the livingroom that she can't do anything in there after I go to bed which is completely untrue because I have told her over and over that I sleep like the dead and she won't bother me. She has been in the kitchen at night whil I am sleepng (only a few feet away from my bed) and I don't even hear her so she knows she can do anything she wants without bothering me but she still uses it as an excuse, saying she will not watch tv in the livingroom while I am there because she will wake me up. I think she is just using it as an excuse not to pay the same rent.
Oh and I did apply for housing. They called me after almost two years and the apt they had available was ina bad neighbourhood and the landlord looked like an asshole. I just had a bad feeling about it. I told myself I don't care how cheap it is, I am not living here. Because I turned it down, I was taken off the list.
