Roommate. He pays his own share of utilities but does not have to pay any rent at all. In exchange for that free rent, he is supposed to do chores I can no longer do...especially when I am in RA flareup mode. Those chores consist of using the pooper scooper every day in the back yard (takes about 2 minutes per day); sweeping the front driveway (about 5 minutes per day), vac'in the hallway and dining room (5 minutes per day but he is only to do it every other day); washing the evening supper dishes every night (other roomies do the cooking and he gets fed..takes about 10 minutes); mow the lawn every two weeks (takes about 15 minutes). That's it.
He has not done his chores. Instead, he is paying the other roommate to do his dishes. I have been picking up the poop, vac'ing when I can and when I can't the other roomie does it.
Meanwhile, he bought a brand new laptop for 495 bucks and signed up for internet service with aol at 11 bucks per month. If he can pay the other roomie to do his chores and afford a pc, he can pay rent.
I told him he has to do his own chores and if he does not do as agreed, he can move out on the first of August or start paying 300 bucks per month.
Am I being unfair? After all, some of the chores are getting done, but I have to rag him to do it or remind him. That is not my job to remind him or have to rag him.
Opinions would be appreciated.
