Luckily I saved money so by the time it was time eviction notices came and the lights were cut off I was just moving into my own place. I let her stay with me, but within a week she disappeared with a bunch of my shit never to be seen again. Fucking bitch...
Wow, that's really fucked up. I had a similar situation with a roommate I had when I originally moved to San Francisco. I was paying $1000 a month for this bedroom in North Beach... and paying something like $40 on top of that for the DSL bill. Went to go update my sites one day, and I couldn't connect. Told the roommate I was going to call tech support, and he said "I already called tech support... they said they're handling it. Don't call." Waited 24 hours... told him I really fucking needed to call tech support because I was still not able to connect. He got pretty ticked off that I wasn't accepting his story, and told me not to call. Anyway, I started looking around for other places to live because I couldn't bring my desktop to a coffee shop. On the day I came back to the house to load my stuff in my car, to move into the new place... I found an eviction notice taped to the door for non-payment. It said he hadn't paid rent in over 3 months.

That was a real "holy shit" moment. Made me wonder where my money went...
