Help....

LegacyUser

im currently living with two of my friends, our lease is supposed to expire tomorrow, but they have asked for an extension.

originally i moved in with them as it was convenient for me at the time and i wanted to break away from my family home. its only a 2 bed apartment and my bed is in the sitting room, where i have been living for the last year.

its cold, i dont have privacy and i dont have much space. But i endure because i enjoy living with my mates.

Now with the issue of the lease expiring i find myself wanting to move on, but stay with my mates. they however dont want to move as this place is ideal for them(but not really for me)

i know if i move out on my own i pretty much wont see them anymore other than special occasions.

But i dont know what to do

maybe if u go and look at places and if u find something better, maybe with three bedrooms , u could try and convince them to move with you. also explain to them how the place is not really ideal for you, but u dont want to move out cos u'll miss them.

your gonna have to move on, you know it, you need a kick in the ass.
Are you scared that you wont find other friends easily?
if they are such good mates how is it you wont see them frequently?
i think you should move on, but i understand it might seem daunting going solo.

I assume neither of your flatmates is willing to leave you his/her room and move to the living room, correct? I don't agree with the way they behave towards you, as it would be only a matter of searching for a new place together, there are plenty of places out there and I am sure you could find a nice one if you look for it....but they don't seem to be willing to consider this solution, so if I were you I would be damn angry with them and move out!

What if the place is situated right beside their college, or some form of public transport they rely on. it's not that simple.

If you pay the same amount of rent as do the friends with rooms of their own, then you are being cheated. If you want to stay there someone should give up their room or lower your share of the rent. Think about it... friends?
