I had just turned 20 and had planned to move to live near my family several hours away, when the job Id found there fell through, I had to quickly find a new place to stay as I had already given my notice at my apartment. My ex boyfriend found out I was looking and told me of a couple who would let me rent a room in their apartment. He warned me that they were untidy people, but I had no choice. I called them and agreed to take the room without looking at it first, because I was totally desperate. When I got there with all my stuff, I was horrified. There was dirt smeared everywhere and it smelled of animal waste, garbage, filthy clothes and B. O. The couple wasnt home, but my ex let me in and then informed me that he lived there too, had for some time. I decided to make the best of it and asked to be shown my room. Then I found out I didnt have a room, there was a single guy in one room, my ex in the other. This dirty couple lived on a mattress in the living room and expected me to pay rent to sleep on their disgusting couch. My ex offered a spare mattress he had in his room as an alternative which I accepted. He kept trying to get me to have sex with him and get back together, claiming that he loved me and would change. I refused repeatedly and just worked as much as possible. The female in the couple was needy and clingy and she would knock on the door at all hours demanding that I come hang out with her, which I couldnt stand. She was very overweight and didnt bathe or wash her clothes. Usually she just wore a filthy bathrobe with nothing underneath. After a few weeks there I knew I had to leave. I started looking online for alternatives and came to Roomster. Immediately I knew that this site would be my savior. After about two week I found a really nice private room to rent for an amazing price! So happy I was able to escape from that horrible situation.
