As far as the rent goes, he has been late pretty frequently and that is between him and the landlord (we are renting separate rooms in a 2 person apartment) so I am not being financially stiffed. However - 1-he has not paid the utilities this month 2-he does not contribute (buying detergent, soap, toilet paper, etc.) 3-he has been using my detergent, shampoo, paper, etc. 4-worst of all, he has accused me of not pulling my weight. now, to be honest, I have not had time lately to wash every dish and clean the bathroom. I am working 18 hour days. While the house is far from perfect, it is not repulsive either. I am comfortable with the level of cleanliness/dirtiness there is and feel that if he wants the house to sparkle, he should do it himself (I would be sacrificing my 4 hours of sleep) I would like to live with a med school student/air traffic controller/ or someone else that works hard and not someone that sits around staring all day at the things I don't clean. I am not this boy's mother or girlfriend and am not responsible for everything in the house. How do I get rid of my lazy - smokes all day in his room - hasn't graduated from college at 24 roommate?

I would like to live with a med school student/air traffic controller/ or someone else that works hard and not someone that sits around staring all day at the things I don’t clean. I am not this boy’s mother or girlfriend and am not responsible for everything in the house. How do I get rid of my lazy – smokes all day in his room – hasn’t graduated from college at 24 roommate?

Thanks.
