You know like you already paid for your daughters first and last months rent as a surprise for her? Here's a vote against that. The daughter is doing nothing wrong and I don't see why she would need to lie (white or otherwise) to explain her moving out. She has a perfectly good reason for moving out - it's what she wants to do and it's what's best for her. I don't really see the point of sugar-coating it for her friend's benefit, and I don't agree with teaching the daughter that she doesn't have the right to stand up for herself and to instead make up reasons for her actions when it's not necessary. /cs

Originally Posted By MissCandice I agree with everyone here I think. Bad roomates are such a drag. She needs to finish out her lease and then skedaddle, with no guilt.

If she's found a place she really likes, she should go for it, because it sounds like her roommate could well drive her out in the near future anyway. On a side note, two of my friends (who had been best friends with each other for over 5 years) moved in together - one as the owner, one as her tenant. The tenant wasn't allowed to do ANYTHING to her room or their living areas and once when they were having a party and she (the tenant) joked "there's a lot of strange people in our house", the owner turned to her and snapped "it's MY house, remember?" Well, as far as I'm concerned, if you're splitting the rent down the middle and the owner couldn't even afford to live there without the tenant, the tenant can call it "our house". So I can sympathise with your daughter on that count.
