Being bullied by roommate

Hi,


I am being bullied by my roommate.  We've had some issues, and I tried to discuss with her calmly, but it's been getting worse.  Whenever we argue she would personally attack me, call me names, swears at me, and verbally abuses me.  She even told me directly to my face that she made fun of me with her friends behind my back.  I can't really move right now since I still have more months with her(we have a contract), and it's such a hassle to move, so I am not planning to move until I can afford to buy my own condo.  I feel uncomfortable at home when she's home.  I feel trapped at home with her.  How should I deal with a roommate who bullys me until she moves out?  Thank you!

Hello- I’m very sorry you are going through this. I understand how you feel because I used to live with a roommate for 10 years. I started when I was in college and while working. We also had issues but thank God, they were resolved after we talked.

Have you tried to talk to her again? I hope things will go well with you and your roommate. I pray that God’s peace be upon you. Take care, keep us posted. God bless.

She doesn't even want to talk to me now. When I text her, she sends me very rude reply including swearing in every sentence and other rude terms.

Consider get tougher with her, it needs to get worse before it gets better. But don't text anything that could get you in trouble.

You can use the texts as evidence of harassment and misconduct between landlord and renter. If you can't do it informally, then my suggestion is to do it formally. I think we have to continuously respond to others and if its a repeated long term thing you can always report her to the authorities. Hope this helped :)
