I (25) am a single homeowner. I met two girls whom I decided to rent out two bedrooms to recently. I can afford the mortgage, but have a five bedroom home and thought if the right girls came along I would rent out the extra space. I met both girls prior to moving in and met them via mutual friends as I didn’t want total strangers in my home. I have a strict lease indicating they are only allowed to have overnight guests if they discuss it with me prior as well as a variety of other stipulations to ensure the safety of everyone in the home.

Girl 1, we will call her Ashley. She moved in as a single girl. We became friends and spent a lot of time together. The second a man came into her life she would bail. I noticed how quickly she latched to female friends and would complain that she didn’t have a lot of close friends. I figured out that it’s because she values all men over her friendships. So I distanced myself and put up the friend boundaries. I noticed her mood swings and mental health deteriorate quickly for a man who doesn’t even own a car, won’t pay for dates, and uses her physically. I didn’t mind her being in my home and I was staying out of her drama until she started lying to me about useless things. I had been considering not renewing her current lease, but am being vigilant to the situation. She did not break the lease legally and I have remained civil and respectful, I am just tired of witnessing her pickme syndrome and it gets in the way of my Queen energy. Honestly she’s just annoying to be around.

Girl 2, we will call her Amy. She is also single. She moved in two weeks ago. The first night she asked if a boy could come over, as I asked them just to do me the courtesy of letting me know if guests are coming over. I said sure thanks for letting me know. This morning I was in my room across from Amy and she was acting strange, and kept closing her door after leaving her room. Soon, she walks out with a guy and says hi and leaves to take him home. When she got back I respectfully told her it was a breach of contract that she didn’t discuss the overnight guest with mee and that if it happens again I will have no choice but to evict her. She was apologetic and it seemed genuine, but who knows if it was. It sounded like he persuaded her to let him stay even though she knew she would be breaking her lease. I’m worried now she will only get more sneaky as I go to bed early for work and get up early. She lives across the hall from me, so it’s baffling to think I wouldn’t find out.

Anyways, I’ve already decided I won’t be renewing either girl’s lease when it ends in the coming months. Rentals are expensive and difficult to come by in my town, so they will have a hard time finding a new place when I let them go. They sacrificed an ideal living situation for LVM. They broke my trust and jeopardized my safety in my own home. Other than these situations, everyone in the home was respectful and things were going fine. I don’t want to be around women like this in any capacity anymore. Just wanted to share my story about being around these types of women and how it’s not worth it.
