    Yeah, that's pretty normal, lol. By having roommates, we make certain tradeoffs: Lower rent and split utilities exchanged for shared living space. A week is starting to push how long would typically be appropriate to have a guest. At about two weeks, he either needs to beat it or else start paying rent, haha.

    I see...:(
    Sounds like he is going to stay more than 2 weeks cuz she said he has business in this city.
    How should I tell her if he is going to stay more than 2 weeks?
    ...."Can you pay the rent?"

    Roommates can be tricky because if you cause conflict, then you're stuck with them.

    Is it normal? Ehhh..No, but nothing is normal with certain roommates..... unfortunately.

    I think you need to talk to her again and really let her know that this isn't ok with you. Be kind, but direct and firm.

    Lol, I dunno man. I mean, it kind of depends on y'all's relationship. I was really close friends with my old roommates, so I'd've just given them shit about it until they got right, lol. That doesn't work if you're not tight though, so you just got to deal with whatever your situation is.

    Friend A
    Friend B - stayed for a week, Gender: Male

    This is a simple In Out Grouping Game.

    In Group: Two slots
    Out group: undefined slots

    Rule: If you're (1) an uninvited guest or (2) a male, you're out

    The In Group has been filled already by pieces X (you), Y (your roommate), thus pushing all the other pieces incl. uninvited guests and males out

    Ez Pz

    Realistically, yeah you can't determine when or when she can't have male suitors at her house

    What is on the lease? There must be something there about length of stay for guests. By staying for days without leaving you have another tenant.

    It does not say...
    She also does not show me the contract she had with the landlord so...
    I'm afraid this continues to happen and especially the day before the test...
    I cannot sleep well with earplug and even when I tried it sometimes I can hear their conversation.

    i completely understand your pain. Maybe talk to your landlord (if she doesn't own the place)? also, plan b (if she doesn't change her behaviour) is to move out! She sounds very disrespectful and honestly, if you're not struggling with money it's worth losing a bit of money to get out. when you're looking for roommates, it's important to establish rules from the get go. I am assuming this didn't occur with your roommate. Another suggestion of mine would be to sleep at a hotel 1 or 2 days before the test if she has guests. Good luck with your roommate.
