Re: Guns + Roommates using Marijuana

LucasMcCain wrote:The only advice I have that I haven't seen someone else give is to check your lease carefully. I've lived in a lot of apartments, and most of them would require an extra month's rent if breaking the lease, but not the rest of the year's rent. Many apartment complexes offer the first month free, or very cheap, so there would be little cost to move in to the new place. Also, regardless of what the lease says, if you go talk to the apartment manager, they may work with you to get you out of there sooner, just make sure if the first person you talk to can't help you, you ask for the actual complex manager. They have more leeway than just the normal office people. You don't have to narc on your roommates, you can just say that you aren't getting along and you've decided to get your own place. Many times, just being super extra polite and friendly can go a long way with apartment management.

From someone who spent many years living in apartments with roommates, all of whom were less responsible than me, I can tell you that you will be happier living by yourself. As soon as you get your own apartment, you will find yourself asking why you waited so long to do so. All that said, you have my sympathy for your situation. May you get out of it cleanly, regardless of what you decide to do. Hope this helps.
I haven't leased in a while but when I did it was normal for them to charge you for breaking it, and then continue to charge rent until they re-lease the unit. Because you were going to pay them for 12 months and every month the unit is empty they are losing the much cash that you had agreed to lease for.

I can see it being a difficult situation for the OP, but not impossible. I do hope that you won't be scared off by the tough love/bad news that is coming from this thread. It is a difficult situation that you are in, I won't discount that one bit. But, I do believe that it's in your best interest in the long term to find a way out in the short term.

All it takes is one noise complaint on a Saturday night when they are smoking out on the balcony and you're screwed to the proverbial wall.

Now as others were saying GET OUT NOW! Quit worrying about a little stress right now and move. If you are serious about your life and future stay away from drugs. The kind of people who do them are a crap magnet and crap magnets get caught and other crap gets sucked in with them. You should have not allowed your self to get in the situation in the first place. That was irresponsible on your part especially if you knew they were like that. Having a gun is a big responsibility and one that is not to be taken lightly at all. You should do what's best for you. Idc if these guys were lifetime buddies you should distance yourself. You asked our opinion and your getting it. I would not ever advise just storing in your car because of the possibility of it being stolen. Also never let those guys ride in your vehicle and you never ride with them. If they ask why tell them you refuse to be in contact with drugs oh wait you live with it... but if they are in your car they could ditch something in it.

My friend listen this is a bear trap and one that is waxed and ready to shut quicker than you can say glock perfection. So please get out of there and get your LTC and start carrying as soon as possible. If this was half as important to you as it is to me then you'd move. I would not live somewhere where I cannot have my gun. These days it's too important not to have one. Btw I'm in college and I understand how stressful it is. But two weeks of stress looking for a place is better than 5 years without your LTC.

This post was not meant meanly or rude just my opinion. But you know what they say about those. Everybody's got em
If this is the kind of apartment complex I think it is, he may not have had any say in the room mates. You lease the room from the complex; each apartment has multiple bedrooms in an apartment and a shared common space; the complex just puts people in the rooms randomly uless you ask for your room mates specifically.

I lived in one of these kind of units when I was a freshman. I didn't live in one again after that.

Re: Guns + Roommates using Marijuana

I'd have to agree with others. See if you can arrange some other living situation.

Are you in apartments that are dedicated for students? Where each bedroom has its own deadbolt? If so, your lease would be completely separate from theirs and you could ask to be moved to another apartment without breaking the lease possibly. A move within the complex to a new unit may not be as hard on you.

I'm one of those conservatives that believes pot should be treated the same as liquor, but until that day your 2nd amendment right and hobbies related to guns do not mix at all with your room mate's life choices.
