I am not getting on with the girls I’m in a flat with next year

I am currently living with (in priv student accom) two of the five girls i’m meant to be living with next year they’re all going to be 2nd year and I’ll be 3rd year. I met these two girls cause they’re in my flat this year.

One of them is a true queen bee! and all the other girl is a her side kick who does as and when she says. The three other girls were in a house with next year are all of the queen bees friends. I was having second thoughts weeks after signing the agreement in October (rlly early ik!) and i though i’ll deal with it closer to the time and i think that time has now come.

Both of the girls are so messy and the queen be in blind to the mess she leaves after herself all the time! I messaged into a gc with the three of us asking them to clean the kitchen up after themselves as they went out last night and always leave a huge mess and leave it there for days on end and it never properly cleaned up. One of them ignored the message ( the side kick cause she’s never had an original thought in her life x) and the queen be was like yes when i’m back from work and a little snarky. the message i sent was nice and polite and that has not been reciprocated. and ik it’s silly but i usually snap the queen bee (to stay on her good side) and i have and she hasn’t snapped me back so i think she’s annoyed for me asking for her to clean up after herself 🤨. they’re both just so immature and i can’t see next ur being any different.

i think i know what i have to do but it’s going to be sm hassle to try find someone to fill in my place and all that! advice pls xx

Just be honest with them, say you aren't enjoying the living arrangements living with the teo girls has been difficult and you cant imagine living with 5 they might have a 6th friend to take over the tenancy

Hi there,

I am sorry to hear about this, it sounds like a tough situation to be living in.

I would agree that the best thing to do would to just be honest and say that you are not sure that you want to live with them again next year. They may have a friend that could take your place which would make it quite easy for you as they would be able to take over your tenancy. Or, you could advertise the room on Facebook as people often do this and there will be people who want rooms for their next year. There will likely be groups on Facebook that you could look at and see if you can post on there!

If you decide you do want to stay in the house, it might be worth talking to them about how you are feeling and that it isn't working out at the moment how you are living. However, if you say they aren't very good at listening to how you feel, I think it is worth trying to find someone to take over your tenancy. It is your third year and you want to be able to enjoy your year, as well as getting your work done!

You could also talk to the estate agents and see if they can advertise the room for you too as they will sometimes do this for you. This may help in finding someone to take over the tenancy so it's worth a try. You will have to talk to them anyway and say that you are advertising the room and trying to find someone else to have the room so they might help you out with this!

I know it sounds like a massive pain, and it will be a bit annoying to do, but I know quite a few people who have advertised their rooms or another room in their house and it always seems to work out!

I would then suggest you have a look at some other places for you to live next year! Again, on Facebook there will be groups where you can find rooms that people are advertising in their houses if someone is dropping out of the house so this might be worth a look. Or, you could look into student accommodation again and see if there is somewhere you would like to stay!

I hope some of this helps,

Lucy -SHU student ambassador.
