Jord11 Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 We've been together for about a year and some she bought a house I moved in I pay her rent $600 a month, it's a fixer upper needs a lot of new things I hear it all the time that she can't do it on her own but I do help her out with rent, she has 2 rooms upstairs she came to me that she wants to rent 1 out so we would have a random person here with us ( don't know what to say to that) I help out a lot around the house but it's never enough it's all about $ so what do I do it feels like I'm not waned here I payed her this months rent then she goes and says she would give me back the 600 I think she wants me out so she can rent the rooms upstairs and make more money then what I give her
Blanco Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 Be glad you didn't buy the house together. It sounds like perhaps she underestimated the true cost of home ownership. 2
oldshirt Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 I say meet in the middle and let her keep this month's rent check and start looking for a new place. She is looking at the house as a financial investment and assuming you do not want to be a business partner with her, your best option would be to find your own place and continue to date if you want. That way you may be able to remain in the dating relationship and she can have a more financially successful landlord business venture.
basil67 Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 I understand you feel that you're not enough....but this isn't about you. This is about her struggling to make ends meet financially. Renting out a room is a great way to get extra income. If you find the right flatmate, it can work really well. That said, the rent you are paying seems pretty low. But perhaps you're in an affordable area??? Are you paying market rate for a building of that value?
Mr. Lucky Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 That way you may be able to remain in the dating relationship and she can have a more financially successful landlord business venture. Agreed. You're going to have to decide if you're a couple, real estate investors or roommates. Those are 3 very different things... Mr. Lucky
Popsicle Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 The landlord is moving other tenants in. What are you going to do?
