Roomate Drama, what would you do?

I would sit them both down and let them know that the drama has got to stop as this tension you are living under is unpleasant. Let them know they must work out their problems immediately or the last one in, is the first one out. Do not accuse anyone of anything, just keep the talk short and sweet and do not take sides. Just stress that you are not comfortable with the conflict and it has got to stop today.

The other answers are pretty good. I will add that if you take sides and clearly oppose someone personally, that someone might do some nasty, vindictive, spiteful things on their way out of the house. So be as neutral as possible so they don't channel their anger towards you.

When kicking out the "problem" person... meaning, the most recent one, stress that it's only because she's the more recent tenant and NOT because you have anything against her personally. You might even want to quote some obscure tenant-landlord conflict-resolution law that states the most recent tenant has to move out in the event of a conflict with an existing tenant. Of course there is no such law, but she doesn't know that. :-)

Your the home owner, so it is your place to get things done. Sit them both down and explain that you DO NOT like conflict . Look right at the new girl and tell her you had none of these sorts of problems before she moved in. Tell her she has one week to find a new place. I feel if you give her a chance, it will just continue. Grow a back bone you need one in life.

Ask her to meet you for lunch in an open area and then explain to her that her staying in the house is just not working out. Explain that the conflict between her and the other roommate can't go on any longer and you've given them both the time to reconcile but to no effect. I would explain she is the one being asked to leave because she is the one with the least amount of time in the house, nothing personal.

If I were you make a list of house rules warn them and tell them if they cant abide by them then one must leave .The drama Queen needs to go.If you did,nt have a problem with the first then you know who the trouble maker is.

Instead of kicking her out give her a warning so next time you won't have to explain shell know what's coming her way, everyone deserves a second chance :)

God Bless

you won't opt to hearken to this, yet i think of your roommate has a valid point of view in some strategies. i do no longer completely trust each and every thing she's stated, in spite of the fact that. i've got faith capacity to pay overrides the quantity of area alloted to each occupant. All 3 of you share some trouble-loose areas only like the kitchen, bathing room and livingroom, i assume. this is only the bedrooms that are being divided 50/50. that's greater of an architectural situation to me. no longer plenty has replaced so far as the two/3 to a million/3 possession. i might say pay the greater $one hundred as a gesture of goodwill in direction of your financially challenged roommate. this is only a short-term concern besides, so why borrow situation? Arguably, you and your husband and new child additionally are using a miles better share of the utilities, so count selection your advantages. It sounds to me such as you will possibly opt to apply this 50/50 situation as leverage against your roommate customarily. i might advise attending to the genuine situation rather of transforming into greater conflict. You and your transforming into kin choose greater privateness as quickly as achieveable, so keep searching for something low-priced after graduation. this is completely achieveable that one in each and every of you could stumble on a greater effective activity in yet another city besides.
