Living with an entitled, inconsiderate roommate is a rite of passage for any twenty-something trying to find their footing in this world. If you're just starting out in your career or are currently in college away from home, you're probably going to be living with a bunch of roommates. This is what primes you for the real world; roommates teach you exactly who you do and don't want to be around. Sure, the one-off dirty dish left in the sink is annoying, but the story you're about to read makes everyday tiffs feel like child's play.
If you're taking a "leave of absence" from your current living situation for whatever reason, you can't expect your roommates to pay your share of rent—that's not what was agreed upon when you signed a lease together. They are responsible for their share only and can probably sue you if you try any funny business.
