Growing frustrated, the poster decided to split the rent three waysA Reddit user turned to the platform for support after getting into a disagreement with their roommate over rent.
In the post, the user explained that they recently 'traveled for a family get-together' and, following their return, they 'found someone else in the apartment," who turned out to be their roommate Rose's younger sister.
'I asked her what was going on, and she casually said, 'Oh, she just came from the village and will be staying here for a few days while she applies for a job,'' the user writes. 'I asked her why she didn't let me know beforehand, and she said, 'I thought you wouldn't mind.' '
However, 'those 'few days' turned into what feels like forever," the poster writes, noting that the sister 'basically moved in."
"Her sister is always home doing absolutely nothing. No job hunting, no house chores, just using up our space, electricity, water, and food," they explain.
Once rent was due, the poster "divided it into three," rather than their usual 50/50 agreement, so that the sister could pay her share.
However, after getting the payment, Rose immediately called the poster, saying they "didn't send [her] the full rent."
"I told her to divide the total into three, and that is my part," the poster recalls. 'She flipped. Said her sister isn't working yet and I've been working for years, so I should be able to afford the full half. That I should 'overlook it' and 'render a little help,' '
The post continued, 'I told her point blank: You didn't ask me before bringing your sister in, and now you expect me to pay her rent too? Absolutely not. She called me wicked and stormed off.'

'Tell landlord about the sister moving in without your approval. They'll kick her out,' one user wrote.
Another added, 'She invited her to stay there without your permission so she volunteers to pay any increase in bills because of that.'
