I rent a room of a 2br apartment from my roommate who is the lease holder. We have oral agreement there there will be no guests over for both of us. When I moved in I realized she took use of the living room exclusively, i.e. Sleeping in the couch every single night instead of on her bed in her bedroom, sitting in the couch all day long and using the dining table as her office. The apartment is small and the livingroom is open in front of my room, so if she stays there I have no privacy at all, because I have to pass her to go to the restroom or kitchen.
After one month I expressed my concern to her and she was extremely unhappy and asked me to move out in 2 weeks since I'm not comfortable. I told her that's not acceptable, I should have at least 30days notice in advance to find new apartment(we had oral agreement but no written one).
And then she told me she wil have a 3rd person move in in 2 weeks. That person will take her bedroom, and she will live in the living room. It's my choice to move or stay. She also demand me to remove my 2 moving boxes which took a little space in the kitchen to make space for the new roommate(all 3 big closet in the living room were occupied by her, I don't have any public space to use).
AND MY RENT IS THE SAME!!!
What should I do??? This is the middle of the semester, I am already stessed out by school. What is the best way to deal with this?
Thank you very much!
btw, I'm in New York state.
