I don't understand all these people who tell you, YOU should be the one moving.

It's very simple really, tell the guy in no uncertain terms that what he does is his business but if he brings it into YOUR home (and it is yours as you were there first) that you'll have to protect your interests. Don't threaten just talk to him and tell him your concerns....

1) strangers in at all hours possibly ripping you off
2) needing your privacy and space respected and it can't be with that going on
3) getting busted for his stupidity
4) wanting your place to be a safe place to rest and relax and it isn't

If he has any respect he'll work with you.

Then there's plan B if he doesn't respect you:

I am not a violent man nor in anyway do I promote violence..... however, a few big friends coming over and telling him that shit doesn't fly in YOUR place may prove to get the point across in a better way.

Then simply whenever you are home you have 1 or 2 or a couple of these friends over and when someone comes to do "business" with him, you and your friends simply tell them that your roomate doesn't deal in the apartment anymore and you appreciate it if they leave and not come back.

Plan C

Go to a lawyer and file a grievence against your landlord and explain that you have had multiple discussions with him/her and they refused to help you in any way, shape or form resolve the problem, therefore you should not be forced to pay a red cent until the situation is resolved...... or if you move there is no fee for terminating your lease.....

If the landlord runs any type of business wanting to maintain some form of reputation he'll work out something with you that will be beneficial to you.
============================================================

But to tell you to just move and pay the fees without you standing up for your rights first is just letting someone else take over your life to me, but that is just my opinion.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
