That was interesting. I hope the guy follows up with what happened afterwards. Personally, if this happened to me, which is highly unlikely, I'd have a look to see if I could find a better place; if not, then I'd kick them out. But he doesn't really mention if he was subletting or whether their names were on the lease too.

I think I'm in a serious minority but I don't think the roomie with the family is that out of line. You could argue that since he's the one presenting a lifestyle change, he should be the one to move. But it just seems like impossible that they can stay roommates and its time to move on, both he and the single guy are equal owners of the place and the one who should have to move is probably the one who its easier for. The couple with the baby is probably assuming that since they're 3 and he's 1 that it just makes more sense for him to aquire a new place. If its one of those pre-furnished places that may be the case. But if all the furniture and appliances belong to single guy, it wouldn't be easier for him to move, he'd have to haul everything out of there, plus the couple would then have to buy and move replacement furniture in. In that case it'd be easier for everyone if they moved, to a pre furnished place. Maybe to one of their parents basements if funds are so tight.

Hmmm I think the original roommate brought this on himself. First, he lets the guy crash there because he needs a place to stay.
Then,'A couple years'pass. I'd assume that he's on the lease, and I assume he's been paying rent. They had a situation that worked for both of them.

You didn't say if it was a house or apartment. If it's a larger place I could see the three of them with the baby. If it's a smaller place I don't think it would be an unreasonable request to ask him to find another place in a resonable amount of time.

The original guy's mistake was letting his buddy's knocked-up girlfriend move in. He should have confronted them before he was outnumbered.

Since the single lived by himself first I'm going to assume the lease is in his name and he is subletting a room to his friend and baby mama. So I think the couple should say "thanks for letting us stay here a while" and move out. If the guy wanted to start a family he should have moved out of the apartment and gotten one with his baby mama.

Yeah, the guy shouldn't have let the girlfriend move in though.

It's bad enough living with a guy who's girlfriend shacks up at your place 4-5 nights a week. I can't imagine living with a couple.

I would say the couple are out of line but it is typical.

The guy did bring it upon himself for even getting involved with a roommate. Stuff like this happens all the time.

The guy that had the place first should have the say as to who stays and who goes. Let the couple move out. It was their idea to have a kid knowing the situation they were in. Their choice shouldn't force someone else to change their life.

There would be absolutely no way I would move out. "Single guy" was living here first and was kind enough to let them stay there. Sometimes people are so f--ing pushy. People just make themselves too "at home". When you crash with someone you need to know your place. He found this home before they came along and if they want to be alone, they need to leave. Plain and simple. If the boyfriend is any kind of man, he will take care of it and make the transition easy for the gf and the baby and not screw his friend over.
