For me the answer is simple. I will do my very very best never ever to have another roommate except for my current girlfriend. The reason is simple, if you have a roommate that you hate with a passion and they do not want to leave and you do not have the ability to leave you are stuck with them.
I am currently in this situation. There is basically one way to kick them out and that is if you give them a pay it or fix it contract. If they pay it everything continues which if you are in my situation you do not want. Or if they do not fix the said problem. In our case its pay or pay because he's been holding out on the rent. Also he is the biggest jackalope on the planet. He deals, blasts music till 12AM-1AM when I have to get up at 6AM or 5AM for classes. The only other option we had was to give him his thirty days notice which does not make since his lease will be up on Dec 1.
On the same topic here is the other reasons besides this bad experience with these roommates. An example would be what if you move in with your friend and you guys are fantastic before you move in together and the opposite happens after you do. Well you will never know how well two people will do with in a given living space until it happens. You never know things may stay fantastic. But before you take those steps make sure you set up a month to month lease that way if shit happens you are not stuck living together for several months building up hate and doing shitty things to one another the whole time.
This post is not complete I will be adding more details to it including some sites for the Santa Barbara area that will help with tenant land lord issues. Knowledge is power and if the world is unfair lets be the reason.
