Kicking Out Family: VENT

So a couple months ago, a cousin of mine needed a place to stay. She is a 21 year old female... so I figured It would be kinda rough, but not this bad... I want to kick her out now, but I can't find it within myself to do it!! :(

What would you guys do? Or HOW would you do it? I do have the option of telling her the landlord got upset I had a roomate, and she has to go. But Im afraid I'll feel guilty for lying.

Here is a list of the problems I am dealing with:

First off, I am charging her $200 a month since she doesnt have much money, I tried to lend her a hand by giving her an affordable rate. However, her being here has already jumped the PG&E bill over $200.

Lazy/Dirty... she does not clean up after herself, and at first, I would do it. But I refuse to now... She has left 3-4 bowls of cereal/milk at a time in her room for 2 weeks, and then once its rotten she will put the full bowls in the sink (chunky and moldy milk still in the bowl)... At the same time, she uses pots and pans to cook, then throws em in the sink with food stuck on them, without washing dishes for a week or two. Until she runs out of dishes then she washes only what she needs. I wash my dishes right after use (when there is a clean dish for me to use in the first place)

It got so dirty in the sink that ants came in and attacked the kitchen. I've never had an ant problem! Finally I sprayed it with ant killer and asked her to mop up the floor after the ants were dead... so she did. LITERALLY, she mopped ONLY the section of the kitchen that had ants. Still didnt wash the dishes or throw out the trash she has overflowing under the sink. She has resorted to putting garbage in a plastic bag and leaving it on the counter along with her empty juice bottles and empty beer bottles. Rather than taking out the trash.

She does not clean for SHIT.. I have refused to clean up after her, but it is making my home disgusting! I can't deal with it and am going to crack.

She uses my laundry detergent, and used up ALL my dryer sheets. For every 1 time I wash, she washes 4-5 times. Never replaced my soap or sheets, now she just dries clothes without sheets. My detergent which usually lasts me 4-5 months runs out within a month now.

I have a labrador dog and asked her to not leave food out because when he is alone, he will eat it. She doesn't get it. She has left a box of open hostess cupcakes, top ramen noodles (4 packs), a bag of doritos, pizza pockets, her wingstop leftovers of chicken wings and fries, leftovers from her drunken nights, and a couple other items (who knows how much she leaves behind that I dont see because she cleans up the evidence before I get home). I am tired of him getting sick for her incompetence.

Her boyfriend was kicked out of his rental and she asked if he could fill a spare room (which is my office) with his things because he didnt want to rent a storage unit. I told her no... I got home one day and they are loading up her room with his stuff... and she said "I guess ill just keep it in my room" - her room is already trashed with stuff to the point where you cant even walk around in there, without having to climb over something. So I let her put some stuff in my office closet, well, then I found his lamps in my laundry room, some of his stuff in my garage... and I was pissed, she deliberately ignored my answer.

Then she asked if he could live with us a couple days... I said no... I know a couple days will turn to months and I don't want a stranger in my home. Well he comes over late, like around 8pm and stays all night, then sleeps in her room maybe twice a week and showers in my home- to me, that is living here.

Often times I wake up freezing because she drops the AC down to 68 degrees overnight because she loves to sleep with a bunch of blankets and pillows.

Every morning before work, she dries her clothes for 15 minutes because she doesn't want to iron the wrinkles out...

She fills my fridge with her leftovers in giant tupperware so there is no room for any groceries I get EVER.

She is in the living room ALL DAY when she is home watching fucken keeping up with the kardashians and rich kids of beverly hills all while using instagram and watching vines on her phone, so I never have any time in the living room to relax... I found myself always holed up in my room in my own home.

She works from 9am to 11:30am then gets a 2.5 hour lunch then works from 2:30 to 4:30 so she is ALWAYS home.


Im OVER IT... thanks for listening to my venting!!
 
If you're referring to the age old internet line of "is she hawt" Yes... she is good looking. but she's my cousin so it does me no good. lol

Hot or not, sounds like it's time for her to go. Personally, I would not have put up with that crap for a single day...

First, you should just kick her out.

Second besides not getting it, have you laid this out explicitly? Hey wash your dishes, like at least once a day. We need to split up the chores. Here are yours.

Have you told her you need to chip in for other consumables? Have you told her you need to double her rent since she is using so much electricity etc?

It sounds like a nightmare, and you should tell her it isn't working out. However, just getting upset about this stuff without laying it out (even though you shouldn't have to) is just going to drive you crazy. You have to say it to her. Then if she ignores it and doesn't improve feel no guilt and boot her out.

Nothing good will come from this. She doesn't sound like the type that's grateful for your help. Its going to end bad either way, might as well end it soon.
I get the sense you're probably going to tolerate this for a while longer though. You will regret that.

Sure I'll pile on. She sounds incurably selfish and thoughtless. No amount of rule-setting will fix this. Kick her out.

LMAO I like your style! I feel like telling her to get a place with her recently kicked out boyfriend. Solves all problems! :p

Don't feel like it, do it.

For god's sake man, where you live is EASY rent wise.

Nothing to feel guilty about at all, nothing.

If she "can't make it there she can't make it anywhere" to destroy a famous saying. :laughing

I could only get to the part about not respecting your wishes about your dog. I would have had issues well before that but that's my breaking point. One of my dogs will get extremely ill if she's fed anything other than dogfood (and a certain kind to boot). I can't leave her with my parents because they're forgetful. If someone was in my house doing that, not only would they have to go, I'd be livid.

Family or no, she's got to go! Good luck to you both. Sounds like you need your space back and she needs to grow up.

Kick her out. Give her 30 days notice and tell her the reasons why. You deserve to be comfortable in your own home.
