My boyfriend and I just recently moved in with his bestfriend Ryan. We were living on our own (bf and I), and then his bestfriend broke up with his long term girlfriend and needed a place to stay. Our lease was ending a month later, and Josh (bf) and I were planning on just moving into a basement suite since both of us are in University so we are on a very tight budget. However, since his friend needed a place, we all decided to rent a place together. We were originally looking at duplexes and townhouses because of Josh and mines tight budget, but Ryan OFFERED to pay more since he didn’t want to share walls and wanted a house. He orignially offered to pay $1000 every month.

He decided to take a vacation when we were looking for places, so Josh and I had to make the decision on our own. Ryan gave us a list of things he wanted. A garage, a separate living room for his ‘theater room’ (hes a tech junkie), a big yard and a big bedroom Josh and I found a place that had everything. Ryan came back and originally said he liked the place. Rent would be $700 for him, and $950 for Josh and I…. Remember, Ryan OFFERED to pay more (more per person since Josh and I are technically paying $475 each), and even offered to pay up to $1000 a month. He knew going in that our absolute limit was $950, and at this place he only needs to pay $700 to make up the difference. Now its 2.5 months later, and both times rent has come around theres been a huge argument. At first he agreed to the $700, but then when rent was due there was a huge problem getting it.. Now hes saying its not fair and he won’t pay that much rent. He makes TWICE as much as Josh and I put together (Since we are students), but he blows it on junk.. he never ever eats at home.. all 3 meals he eats are at restaurants…. he always has to borrow money from people (I just found this out).

We can not afford this place if he does not pay $700, so we will have to break the lease. If we do though, we will lose our DD , which Josh and I paid $900 of and without it, we will have no money to put towards a DD for a new place to live. I think that if we have to move, Ryan should have to pay us that money since we are losing it because HE DECIDED TO BACK OUT OF WHAT HE ORIGINALLY WAS THE ONE TO OFFER (I never once asked him to pay more, I was fine living in a duplex, but he OFFERED to pay more bcuz he was the one who had to have a house)…

Anyways, do you think that its fair that he pay us out of his pocket for the money was lost due to breaking the lease?

**P.S we didn’t get anything signed as we knew that even if we did, we would never take him to court over it (We cant afford it)… Its not like he forgets that he said that, hes just saying he changed his minding, so having it in writing wouldnt make a difference

I’m going to SF with a friend of mine for a few days sometime soon, but we don’t know where to stay, or all the city has to offer.

We are looking for things that preferably don’t involve money, such as cool places to just go hang around, like parks and populated places and such. Nothing too touristy. We just want to see the city. Going to restaurants, malls, dinner shows and whatnot are not really our cup of tea.

Also, we are pretty hardcore ravers here in chicago, so some of that would be nice as well. But we still need things to do/see during the day.

What’s the best area to get a hotel room? A place that’s close to interesting things to do/see?

We will be traveling this summer to Spokane, Wa. What is about halfway and has good restaurants? Also affordable lodging.

next summer me and my mom are planning on going down to LA for about 2 weeks to audition for a bunch of stuff (well me audition) and I was wondering what we would do for living and where the best place to live would be (somewhere close to where most audtions are held) and also what about restaurants and places to shop?

My husband and I are traveling to Port Douglas and I’m trying to find a nice place to stay. It seems that some of the hotels I was looking at are geared toward the gay/lesbian community. Is there a nice place to stay there that is for a heterosexual married couple? Somewhere romantic that isn’t too far from restaurants or the beach? Port Douglas isn’t strictly a gay community is it?

I’m planning a holiday with my partner and my 6yr old son. it will be my son’s first ever holiday, first time on a plane etc so I just need to know where is the best place to stay. We want beaches, activities, fun and LIFE. A friend just came back from Tunisia and told me it was really quiet and full of old people…we want a little bit of excitement, nice restaurants, shops, proper family entertainment…waterparks/theme parks if poss too.

I already have a place to stay, I’m just looking for a site that can give me good restaurant and travel recommendations?

p.s. I’m going to ft. lauderdale
