Karl, I don’t think you should get too comfortable. I warned you my peeve is running utilities with the windows open. It’s also 74 degrees out, it’s really not necessary to run it anyway. Let’s make an exit plan for the end of the month.

Still kinda in shock. I’d be willing to contribute toward the extra utilities I used today. This is not typical for me and I’d really like to show that I’m a very responsible person. Had very much been looking forward to living with you, Steve, Bax & Max. Can you set aside time to chat on Sunday Eve?

It’s unfortunate you weren’t unable to demonstrate how responsible you claim to be.  Actions speak louder than words. your actions were disrespectful and careless. This is not the kind of room-mate I’m looking for.

FYI: I’ve hired movers to come get the majority of my things Saturday morning (just got moved up due to a cancelation). The search for a new operational base is underway but I can’t plan to be out earlier than Sept 30, although that may happen. I’m late at the store tonight but I will be there Friday night to get things reorganized from what little unpacking I did. I’ll keep you updated as things occur.

Thanks for keeping the pups under control while the.movers were there. FYI: the wardrobe doors are being bought next week, and should be picked up Monday or Wednesday. Never meant to be such a hassle.

Are you available Thursday eve or Saturday afternoon? I saw that the previous occupant was still requesting return of his deposit more than 6 weeks after his departure. I would like to resolve this more quickly.  The doors that had been in the garage were purchaed and picked up last week.

Karl, I told you the keys need to be returned before the end of the month that you paid for.  The house will get rekeyed at a cost of $150 and I will have to pay movers to put the furniture back the way it was. This comes out of your deposit.  You don’t have the option to come back and it’s not required t
u moved out.

Really? Is room configuration a reasonable part of a rental agreement? Or my request that you be present to assure things are placed to your liking? And also my request to meet in person to return the key? Are any of these things outside the realm of common courtesy?  Am I to infer that you refuse to meet me? If I am misunderstanding you, please clarify your position. Do things really have to continue like this?

Karl, it’s very simple as I told you earlier. 1) return your keys., 2) return the room to it’s configuration. This is reasonable since the furniture you moved is extremely heavy and you didn’t have the courtesy to ask if it was ok to move it and now expect others to correct this on your behalf. This is irresponsible (again), to think that this is ok and that you seem to not think it’s your responsibility.  This is why you cant live here. 3). I need your forwarding address to return your deposit.  We don’t need to meet since I already told you this.  YOU instead decided to not do any of these things and now are troubled by the consequence.

Karl, please do, I would welcome the opportunity to talk with your attorney.

As I stated earlier, the furniture is extremely heavy and you moved it with out permission and apparently consideration that you would have to put it back.  The original configuration is preferred and it is not unreasonable to expect the room to be returned in the same condition you found it. Extra effort beyond what would be considered “normal” is required.  That furniture is very heavy and not appropriate in its current location. You were renting a furnished bedroom.

You were advised of all this prior to your departure.  Instead you chose not to. It is irresponsible although not surprising I guess, to think you would be due a full refund.  I will return your deposit once I know the cost to hire someone to return the furniture to its original position as one person can not move the furniture.  You knew this when you and your accomplice moved it to it’s current location.

I’m sorry that you are unable to be responsible enough to take ownership for your actions.  As I guessed shortly after you moved in you are not the kind of responsible room-mate that I would care to live with, and much to my disappointment you proved me right.

Sincerely,
Sent from an iPhone

Some things that I believe you have overlooked in your evaluation of the situation: 1)  On the day I viewed the room, I indicated that I would be bringing some of my own furniture, and wondered if that would be a problem. Your response was that if there were any items that I did not need in the room they could be moved for storage to the basement. I specifically mentioned that the closet organizer would not be necessary. 2) On the Friday when I completed the move of my boxed items I inquired about where you would like the antique radio (that was in the room) moved to should I not be able to include it in the reconfiguration of the room. Your response was that it could be stored in the basement. And there was no indication that shifting the configuration was in any way an issue.  3) I moved “heavy furniture items” with the help of my brother with minimal effort and in a short amount of time.  4)  The closet organizer that I had been temporarily removed from the room was returned prior to my departure.  5) Prior to my departure I made it clear that I am willing to rearrange the furniture at a time convenient to your presence.  I have repeatedly provided my availability and continue to be willing at a mutually agreed upon time to place the furniture in a configuration of your direction.
