I have a friend who is 20 years old and she’s a drag queen like me and she lives with her mother and two siblings and they all live in a house that the mother rents and the rent is $ 500 a week.

My friends grandmother died about 3 months ago and her mum is having trouble coming to terms especially at this time of year so she’s decided to take the kids and move in with her boyfriend in another city.

So my friend tells me that she wants me to move into the house with her and I couldn’t refuse because the house is pretty fucking amazing and I would be paying $ 150 a week and that’s bills included also I don’t have to pay bond because the lease is in her mothers name.

The issue I have is that we have found a third girl who is coming to live with us and we are looking for a fourth room mate to live with us and they will have the garage. My issue is that my friend wants to charge $ 250 rent for the garage, it has its own shower and toilet. The girl who is living with us will be paying $ 200 and I will be paying $ 150 (my room is the smallest) .

This seems unfair and dodgy to me because by the looks of it we are covering the rent and she lives there for free.

Why can’t we all just pay $ 150 each? It’s more than enough rent to cover the house. And then she goes on to say it won’t cover electricity and internet, and then I say “can’t we just split that evenly also”?

She has an answer for everything and I don’t have a good feeling about it. It doesn’t seem secure

You can get a normal 3 bedroom apartment here for $ 300 why would anyone pay $ 250 for a garage with three other housemates? She’s advertised on Facebook but no one is biting.

Does anyone have any experience in these situations? Should I just move in there? I can always move back to my mums house if it doesn’t work out.

Ok just so you guys know she is biologically a female she just likes to use my wigs and makeup and go out clubbing with me.

Her mum doesn’t own the house she is renting it from old people and the neighbours are old and are always spying on us.

I just seriously have a bad gut feeling from this and I always get a bad gut feeling whenever she plans something it always falls through and I’m just sick of being dragged around with peoples stupid ideas and then having myself to blame when everything goes shyte

Wow why is it so cheap??!

3 bedroom apartment is 3k+ here. Does her family own the house and the rent goes to cover property mortgage? Seriously we’re do you live...I need to move ASAP.
I live in Australia, rent is expensive in the city but I live in a coastal town.

My brother is a dragqueen in Sydney and his rent is 1000 a week and he splits that with 4 other drag queens so they spend around 300 a week each

It sounds like shit. My brother's gf had a crazy fuck roommate who did that shit. First rent was x amount a month per person. But she had a hard time keeping other roommates in the place. Then she moved in her loser brother because he needed a place but wouldn't charge him rent. She also started taking away things from her and upping the rent. Then it turned into, "you're just going to have to pay for us all."

Why? Bitch went through her mail and saw a financial aid check she got, so they just assumed she had "money" and why not just let her foot the bill?

This chick had issues though and should have been living in a group home situation since she wasn't right upstairs.
