She doesn't pay the full part of her rent. What should I do??
My roommate is a bum
Strike a deal with the landlord and turn off the things she doesn't pay for, like hot showers or electric outlets.
" Take naked pics and PM them to me, assuming she is hot. If she isn't paying her rent completly, tell her so. Its not like there is any real way around that conversation. Unless this is a one time thing and she had a good excuse. "I cannot believe you didn't tell him to pm me the pics as well, you bitch, jk, but i want some too, if she is hott
Well, you could start posting images of her... but I don't imagine that's a great idea. It'd be funny though, and some people would love you forever for it. Whatever, but simply ask her about it. Maybe she had a legitimate excuse for it, and it was a 'one-off' thing. If not, try and not get pissed off, and tell her that she can't keep not paying the rent. You can't afford it on your own and all the rest, and then see if she will start paying her rent.
Also, sarcastic backup answer:

" @Bones8677 said:Bahhhh!" At the very least post a regular picture of her, that way we have a better idea of what we are dealing with... "Well I don't want to completely ruin her privacy lol (even though I'm making this thread in the first place lolol) "
People post pictures of their friends online, all the time.

Just out of curiosity, anyone else dealing with a broke roommate?
*and I suppose she's cute, just allergic to jobs I guess

" @Meteora said:Well here's my realistic suggestion that could be helpful. Talk to her about this issue on rent - politely. Just tell her that it is part of the agreement that she pays her full rent, do not issue a ultamium or anything just yet. Wait until maybe a month before you do that; that should be sufficient enough for her to find a job if she's jobless. Again, everything should be talked about in a polite manner. Angry fists normally doesn't help maintaining a healthy relationship, they'll probably just leave in a short moment's notice (perhaps without even paying the rent before leaving).Yeah that was my original post...she has trouble paying.

If she doesn't start paying her full rent, you have several options at your disposal. The first and most easiest one is to kick her out, but that's not really big on diplomacy and then you'll need to find another roommate. Second one is to start cutting whatever access she has in the house, such as water or electricity, a friendly warning earlier on about cutting this off would help. Thirdly, I suppose you can try to get her to pay her rent in sexual favours, but don't count on it if she has morals.
Serious suggestion:
The first few times you catch her when she's free, politely ask why she's having trouble. Make it a point to say you can't keep covering for her, but don't threaten her the impending doom of kicking her out.
If she's extremely late or doesn't pay her share the next bill cycle comes around, just let her know she has 30 days to find a new place. That usually snaps people into reality and if she still doesn't keep up after this, you really should consider finding a new roommate.
Good luck!
