This is kind of a rant, but the situation is really getting to me and I could do with the opinions of some people who aren't involved with the situation.
Ok, we've been sorting out uni accomodation for next year. We've sorted out a flat, paid the deposit and signed the lease. Now we come to a problem - when we picked up the copy of the lease, the housing office says that one of my flatmates hasn't sighed it or paid the deposit.
Now, we're thinking "She said she paid it. it's probably a mistake." Now here's problem number 2. At the weekend, said girl downed half a bottle of vodka, had a massive arguement with half of the people on our floor which ended in her slapping another girl for no real reason. Since then she's locked herself in her room, and according to the only girl she will open the door to, is living off cold baked bean sandwiches coz she won't come into the kitchen. Even today when we told her we needed to sort out about the flat, she wouldn't answer her phone or open her door. She did reply to a text message saying she had paid but didn't know where the receipt was. So everyone got more annoyed as she made no effort to sort it out.
As this isn't the first time she's gone mental, in the past she's trashed the kitchen in a drunken rage and locked herself in her room before, for so long that we had to get the porter to open the door to make sure she was alright, now the other four of us have decided we don't really want her living with us, as she can't be trusted. We had a chat with her and told her this and the reasons why. Probably not the best idea as she was in tears throughout and now is still in her room and threatening to slit her wrists.
Now we all don't have a clue what to do from here. We seem to have made things a lot worse and dunno how to go about fixing things.
Do people think that we've been really harsh saying we don't want her living with us? And if she has paid the deposit do we have any right to make her find somewhere else?
Being an 'adult' is too stressful!!!!
