Living situation problem, any words of advice?

My Girlfriend and I live with my Brother, his Wife, and his kids. Rent is 1200 a month.. They pay 900 we pay 300. The house is 2 bedroom 2 bath, but we live in a TINY office rectangle, the width is about the size of a King size bed from the head of the bed to the foot of it, and the length of the room isn't much better. The room is located at the back of the house where the backdoor and yard are.





Ever since we moved in they have dominated the entire house, even right outside our room. We have to leave our door open so our dog can go outside, but their dog always comes in our room and eats our dogs food. Then they get mad at us when our dog eats the cat food, even though we have caught and showed them their dog eating our dogs food. The backdoor is constantly open letting flies and mosquitoes in, but they only come into our room.


We let them know about this ****, but they never follow through.


Aside from TONS of other stuff, we have no privacy.





Here's the big problem: We can't stand it anymore, and want to move. But they rely on us for the 300 dollars in rent, if they didn't get that from us, i'm not 100% sure they could continue living here.





What should we do?Living situation problem, any words of advice?
forget anyone else man,, you need to do whats good for you. Never sacrafice your own well-being in order to enable someone elses unhealthy ways. If they cant afford it anymore and really relied on you then they would treat you with more respect. By the way, they are actually ripping you off!Living situation problem, any words of advice?
See if you can find another roommate for them. Explain how you feel and tell them that living there was only a temporary situation for you and now you have to move on.


You can't do any more than that for them. If they have to move, that's their problem. They have to find a place they can afford.
i would move let them rent it to someone else if they need the money
Looks like you need to sit down and have a real heart to heart with them. Let them both know whats been bothering you and if things don't change then you will have to move on. Maybe you can get another room too. If they need you they will have to step up. If they don't hear you then find another apartment. Good luck I hope you talk to them or it will be a long hot summer.
I would talk to them again. But tell them that you understand you are helping them out with rent each month but that you guys are not happy with the way things are going and they are respecting you or your things and that if things don't change you guys are thinking of moving out.





That will give them the understanding that you guys are serious, and either change things or know that they need to find a roommate or some thing else.





But don't stay there if you aren't happy because it could affect your relationship with your girlfriend.
