In regards to references, I have great references from all my jobs, my landlords, etc. even the landlord that I was saying there was a problem with. I did pay for the damages, in the form of the security deposit, which was for any damages caused to the apartment. Plus I did pay him extra money although I did not mention that here.

I am a very trustworthy person. I always keep my word. I am not indebted to anyone nor do I ever borrow money from people. I don't know where you all are getting the impression that I have or do that. I work a good job and have a stable career; I am not a flake, as someone suggested.

Breezey, I appreciate your input. The more I think about it, I look at the patterns of my whole life and this has not been a pattern my whole life, just a few things that have happened within the last 18 months. You're right that I didn't look out for myself when I decided to rent a place from my dad. There were red flags all over that from the beginning. The landlord after that, I must have miscommunicated there in my post, I did pay for the damages to be covered (and then some). So there is no hard feelings there. With the ex-roommate, I have had multiple ex roommates and never had issues like this with them. Never had communication problems like this with them. Sure we had our gripes, because there is always give and take with being a roommate, but never such volatility and passive aggressiveness.

I wouldn't mind having another roommate in the future, but with a split floorplan unit and a bigger place, but not with someone like her. And you're right, Breezy, chore assignments can be a big help in alleviating problems. We probably should have done that and it would have saved us some issues, but it wasn't just about chores being done. She was rude and cold and acted like from day one that she didn't want me there...in fact...she was the one using me. Because she said she needed a roommate to help her get out of debt for a while, so she was excited to have me as a roommate, but the minute she cashed my rent check she started treating me like ****. Plus...and here' s a big flag that I should've paid attention to and will learn from now right away: she was very mean and cruel to my dog, who is a service dog. I won't go into detail, but it was clear that even though she had a dog, she doesn't like dogs. And for me, a dog rescuer, and owner of a service dog that performs life saving tasks...that was well, difficult to say the least.
