Ha, where to begin.

Well, I suppose - my current roomates.

So many people told me not to rent to friends, but I didn't listen.

Currently, I have two friends renting half of a duplex I own, and they haven't more than 1 months full rent. They moved in in April...

I would feel terrible kicking them out - but it's going to come to that pretty soon. It is just difficult because I'm not currently having any money issues, and they are stuggling along.

However, I realize that it is long past the point of being a friend - I know that they are outright taking advantage of me. Although this may seem terrible, the reason I allowed it to happen so long as it did, and now am likely going to do something about it, is because they are getting near the limit of what I could potentially sue for (if it were to come to that) in small claims court....
