Wasn't sure where to put this question at so please correct me if I'm wrong.

My boyfriend of 3 years and I moved out about a month and a half ago to a very nice apartment in his home town. The problem is we moved in with a room mate we found off of Craigslist and is a total stranger. We haven't had any problems with her until today.

She told my boyfriend that we weren't social enough and she missed her boyfriend who is at basic training for the army. She said we needed to move out as soon as possible.

My translation was: we don't drink and party enough for her so she's getting rid of us so her friend can move in.

Stupidly, we haven't had a chance to sign the lease so we can't do anything. We pay half and half on everything and that's the only way we were able to move out. The agreement was to live together until at least December, so I had a chance to find a job and concentrate on school.

Now we have no where to go that we can afford. I don't know what to do about our room mate, the situation, and moving out.

What would you do? What should I do? How can I find a job fast while still being able to go to school? Where can we find cheap apartments? We currently pay $360 and that's just our half. There's just no way we can make it.

It's really made me mad because we keep this place spotless and in good condition. Our room mate has disappeared for days on end, leaving dirty plates in the living room, cooked food still in the pan on the kitchen counters, etc. I've never felt welcomed by her. Now she's kicking us out even though we pay half of everything and we can't do anything about it.

Sorry about the long question.

Thanks.

Is it her apartment? Because if its not, then she can't do that.

But, I am going to guess that its not. Tell her that you guys need to stay until you get everything situated. I understand that this isn't fair, but life isn't. I suggest looking around, you probably won't find anything for $360 or less, see if theres a max you guys can pay. Maybe move back with your parents?

Go back to Cragslist and look again. See if your parents have an extra room/guest house that you guys can use.

As for the job, try the community center, resturants, Fast food etc.

(Rating: 5) Thanks for your advice. :)

She's renting it from the landlord and we were paying half of the rent to her. We were supposed to sign the lease but we never got a chance to because we where only here a month. So yeah, legally she can kick us out but it's just really not a nice thing to do to tell us to leave in a week and we don't have anywhere to go yet.
