it apperas she is trying to take advantage of a friendship
and your bad financial situation.
you are in no way obligated to sell her your lap top nor
should she expect her son to be able to use it.
you are paying rent and utilities, you have your rights
and feelings.
i would not care less what how she may feel about the
computer. if she were really a friend, and knows of your
situation she should be more than willing to pay the
market value for the lap top, 75.00 more.
with all of the help she gets… she can well afford it.
she should be ashamed of herself the way she has
conducted herself with you. good luck.

If I were you and please don’t take this the wrong way, I would seriously look into getting another source of income, so this type of thing can’t happen. Try and up yourself a little bit check out monster.com and make an on-line resume and send some out!!!

On your question, legally, if someone moves out and they knowingly leave items at your house, for a long period of time, it is technically yours. It is the same if you moved out of your apartment, and left your couch. If you came back in a year and said ‘Hey I want my couch!’, I can guarantee it is gone.

Are you sure you want to be roommates with her? I’d be very careful if I were you. If she would go behind your back and do you like that , I would’nt trust her. I think you’re right to be angry at her, i would be too.

it was crappy, they went behind your back.. .. F them.. Sell it to some one else. You need the money, you don’t need to explain anything to no one..

When you can, Remove our self from them.

With friends like that, who need enemies..

Oh my goodness. What a mess. Has she moved in yet? To be honest, I would cancel that arrangement ASAP! If she is pulling this now, what will it be like when she moves in.

I am sorry you are struggling, but from what you have written, I fear your “friend” will worsen matters.

Good luck with everything.

Your money troubles are not really her problem. You offered to let her move in and pay half of the bills, which she is doing. Who cares if her family is giving her money? She’s upholding her end of the bargain so you should be happy to have that help at all.

Also, selling an ex’s laptop instead of giving it back and then being angry when you can’t sell it? Tacky.
