Sigh. Not the kind of sticky story I was hoping for.

shitty situation for the roommate, but if it was explained beforehand that he was only subletting for a month, he should have found a new place to live by now - just tell him that you're sorry that you can't let him stay longer, but you have other roommates moving in and simply can't allow him to stay any longer - offer to help move his things, but get him out before the new roommate arrives to avoid future problems with the new guy

Tell him to gtfo. He knew he was supposed to leave. He def had ample time to find different living arrangments

Tell him at the very least he needs to get his shit out of the place and to find a storage facility. I would say you can stay while you find a new place but you have to get your shit out of here.

my friend managed a self storage that had about 6 units where the ppl lived in their unit...

not legal but some had the units fixed up nice.

Agreed. It's fair and a nice thing to do.

I've had this happen 3-4 times where i was helping a friend out with a place. Just tell him he has to go and that maintenance or some shit is coming to work soon on your apt and they can't see 5 total roommates cause it's against the rules. Technically you're not lying about anything cause most places apply that rule. Just tell him he needs to rent a hotel for the week and gl but for now its his problem not yours.

kick him out/

we were pretty stupid and were just happy we found someone for the month of august being that it was the end of july already and the chances of finding someone were slim

part way through august we realized we might have a problem come the end of the month and we confronted him and he said hes looking as hard as he can for a place.

lol ya, this isnt standard in apartments with college kids?

most of my friends who have apartments near me roll 4 deep.

so i think im gona tell him to rent a storage place for his stuff when he gets back tonight unless he magicly found a place today and is moving out in the next couple days.

i think i can manage a little overlap with the new guy but the whole not knowing when he will find a place and knowing it might be a while just cant fly

i prob should just grow some balls and through him out completely but i just cant bring myself to do that. sigh

Give him 48 hours to get his shit out of the place and make it very clear that he knew it was a month-long deal. You're not under much obligation to help, but you could offer the couch, or offer to help him find a couple places on craigslist or even couchsurfing for a few days/weeks/whatev.

What you have to do though, is not tiptoe around about it. Take a stand, with your roommates if necessary, and do it today.

GLGL...

Throw a kegger,I'm talking a 22 keg blow out type fiasco.
then when he's nice and sloshed (pref sleeping)beat the living lights out of his left eye.
Fuck his left eye up beyond repair, make this asshat a goddam cyclops.
Then tell him it was the new roomate, after cyclops kills the new guy.
You have a cycloptic roomate, which he can be the life of all ur gettys, cause he can open
miller lites in his cavernous abyss of an eye hole.
Even better bitches will be like awww but since he's a cyclops, they'll pick you at the end of the night
Team cyclops?

Yeah tell him he has to move his shit to storage facility and let him stay on your couch for a few days/week max when ur other roommate gets there. Definitely not your problem and not your new rooommate's either. The guy has to gtfo...that's what you agreed upon.

Ya that seems weird to me, but I def think making him put his shit in storage and giving him a week or 2 to find his own place then giving him the boot is the best option

ps 4 to a 2bd sfstandard college apt. unless you have more rooms, in which case "balla!" but in nyc I doubt it. 5ppl to a 2bd not so much

we have 3 bed rooms, a comon room, but only 1 bathroom

One good thing about living in a shitty state, low rent.

F sharing a room unless you have to live in a dorm.
