Probably more hassle than it’s worth. 30-day notices (and “ignorals”), having to go to court, etc.
Even without being named explicitly on the lease agreement, AFAIK this “Alec” still maintains full tenants’ rights.
Disorganized lives. Tiktok guy and the writer herself are not ready for real life as it seems. Just because you find a shitty roommate doesn't mean you must move back to Arizona by stealing his stuff. This generation is doomed.
I read it like the author moved out with six months expenses in the bank. After six months they hadn't been able to make money off music and weren't having luck finding a job. So while OP was in the hospital they terminated the lease and GTFO. The roommate sounds like a crappy person, but the author has now also made them homeless.
Presumably he couldn't afford the apartment by himself,
He didn't get paid.
He clearly did. And he was running out of savings, as he says.
He wasn’t being paid, he gave examples where he had to cover for the guy’s rent.
