Flatmate HELP!!

I know a person who lies, believes they’re always right, gets angry when people don’t agree with them, lies to their friends to make them seem like a victim/the good guy, always talks about themselves, asks too many invasive questions, makes others uncomfortable. What do I do? They got into a fight with another flatmate and is causing problems for the rest of us. What do I do in this situation?

For most of what you've written, there's very little you can do, unfortunately. Some people are just like that.

However, the "got into a fight with another flatmate" is worthy of reporting to the accommodation team. It's possible that "causing problems for the rest of us" might be too, depending on the nature of those issues.

Take a look at your accomodation contract. Does it have anything in there about behaviour towards other residents? Is this person in breach of those rules? If so, the accomodation office should definitely be informed.
Depends on what kind of accommodation you’re in. If it’s uni managed then I agree, it’s appropriate to speak to the residential or accommodation team if things have properly kicked off.

Hi

I hope you have settled into university well aside from this.

I would recommend speaking to your university accommodation team, who will be able to support and manage the situation when this kind of thing arises.

I hope this helps,
