Starting to pack up and move out of my house today and tomorrow I'll be completely finished and back at the beach. You guys, I am so happy right now I cried (just a little bit) this morning from a wave of sheer relief that I can get the fuck away from my insane housemate. After being on tour and traveling on the road all year last year and giving up the apt I'd been in for 13 years, I was so happy to find this place with a sick view, a yard and almost 1300 square feet to myself. It was definitely a huge upgrade and was definitely the vibe I wanted considering the amount of travel and time I spend away from home. And, it was a better deal than my last place, which often sat empty for 6 months at a time when I was traveling. I figured I'd give a housemate a try and share some expenses I'd usually have to cover even when I'm usually gone anyway. She was an acquaintance of a friend (obviously not close enough though) and since the house is crazy huge and we occupy such different spaces it almost seems like separate apartments but in a cliff hanging house up in the hollywood hills. Boy was I wrong. No matter the savings, it's all a waste of effort if your housemate lives on another plane of reality.
Long story short, she's two months behind in rent after her ex boyfriend stopped paying her bills. They had already been broken up for a year or so and he's just stuck on the original lease and didn't want an eviction or financial drama on his record. She is refusing to give her own 30 days notice and move out so he's pretty much stuck covering everything until the house is sold (it's going on the market sometime this summer). She's taking advantage of the fact that he's still basically on the hook if she doesn't do her part. I've met him, and my partner even stayed at his other place in New York (it's amazing). He seems like a pretty level headed, successful guy that manages a lot of stuff. So he's got to be a little more grounded than her to begin with. It totally makes sense to me now that he doesn't want to ruin his credit but he also ran in the opposite direction when it came to living with/being with her any longer. I thought that situation was unusual but she was working at the time and never really disclosed what he was helping her out with until recently. She stopped working in April and he stopped paying for her bills because their 2 year lease was up and it switched to month to month. Thats when the shit it the fan, when her sugar daddy bowed out. And you all know how it goes with freelance work (she's a casting director) so she's been having trouble getting her checks on her last few jobs. Last week when she let it slip she was so behind in her rent, I just knew it was time to go. We live in a very expensive house, so getting behind for a few months is pretty major and I felt really deceived. With her loverboy coming in and out and her ex paying her bills. It seemed like the beginning of a true crime doc on ID that ends with murder. And then, after asking for the utility bills for months so I can pay my part, she finally gets it together and gives them to me last Friday and I'm like WTF this is crazy. Six months of bills at once because you couldn't get it together enough to send or share them with me when they came in? She goes on to say "what you're an adult right? You know how to pay bills?" And I'm like whoa bitch hold on, I obviously I pay my bills so I have no problem with doing that, but I also aggressively roll my eyes so hard I thought they might never roll back. Who lets their bills pile up for 6 months before sharing them with other people in the house when they've asked for them and then cop an attitude like I don't know how to pay bills? You guys, I had to do everything in my power not lose it. For the last few days, I've had to read email after email where instead of talking about the real issues, she goes on and on about the fact that I don't respect her (i don't) and I rolled my eyes (sorry my eyes react harshly to bullshit). She CCed the home owner and her ex boyfriend, none of which are on our separate sublease agreement. Let's just say everyone is super pissed and annoyed by this. And she's still playing games rn.
So I made a move to just get out late last week and let her keep my deposit in exchange for not staying here until July 15th. That is essentially breaking my lease (which is month to month now but I'm not giving 30 days notice) but she's getting the same amount of money so it's like, why would you want to live with someone who thinks you're a gold digging hollywood thot that literally can't feed or house herself without the help of a man you're not even with anymore? She (we) could get evicted any moment if he didn't come to the rescue (which he did, for the sake of his own credit). She drives his car when he's out of town (which is often) because she doesn't have her own car and she complains she cant get a job or do anything unless he helps her. That's some of the lamest shit I've ever witnessed. And, he pays for the doggie daycare for the dog they got while they were together (btw the dog eats steak everyday even though shes broke). It's pathetic. All the while, she's got this side piece boy toy (washed up D level ex boyband guy that now drives for lyft) that comes in here with a key, letting himself in whenever he wants. And I'm like say what? What the fuck is this and who the fuck is he, and why is he in my house with friends when we're both out of town without me knowing? I came home early from Coachella and caught him up here cold kickin it but that's not the first time. He also lets himself in when she's not here for hours.
Mark my words, never again with the housemates. I had never really had a housemate before this which I guess is pretty lucky. I didn't always understand why people hated it. My brothers and sisters moved out before I was born, so I never really had to share anything in my life and I wanted to try it. Six months of my life was enough to know it was wrong wrong wrong. If she had been cool though, it would have been dope. I'm a pretty laid back chick, myself. Except for maybe the fact that I'm really really neat (which most people our age would appreciate). I'm headed back to the beach to work on my tan lines and shake off this nonsense. Thank god for good friends who also travel that made his sick place available to me for a month while he's gone so I can take my time looking for a new place of my own in the same neighborhood. I'm so lucky he made it easy to cut the chord before things out out of hand over here.
