Trespassers in my apartment

[Snarf]

One of my room mates, who no one likes, has creepy friends stay for the weekend when one of my other room mates leaves for a weekend. Totally unannounced. As I'm walking into my kitchen, some strange guy is unlocking the back door to the place.

I don't want these people here. It makes me feel unsafe, especially considering this room mate is a drug dealer and a general lowlife who's smoked himself retarded by now.

Would a call to the police be productive? I want these people forcibly removed from my apartment.

Just be straight up with the guy. Hey buddy. I didn't agree to this. You need to find a place to stay. If they give you any hassle, just tell them that you'll call the cops to have them removed. If you're roommate says anything, tell him that he has to be here, otherwise these dudes are just freeloaders. Me suspects that your roommate is shady too. Might be a bad living situation.

Or poop in a pillowcase...

Invite Cheezwiz over for the weekend. Problem solved.

If you don't want to take my advice. This is probably your best option.

You can't talk to this guy. He'll get in your face the second you say anything that even slightly disagrees with what he thinks.

If I confront him about this, it will come to blows, it will get violent. Something really bad might happen. I had to listen to an hour of meditation music just to stop shaking with anger. He's worse with anger than I am. This might not end well for anyone.

edit: I'm carrying a shank in case one of these guys jumps me.

You need a different roommate - and soon.

Im pretty sure you can get a roommate kicked out if theyre selling drugs out of your apartment.

Well, who's place is it? Yours or his? Are both your names on the lease?

If it's your place and you have discretion over who stays and who goes, give him notice - then be prepared for a fight. If it's his place, get out of there - pronto. If the place belongs to both of you, same advice. Leave.

I once had a female roomate whose thuggish boyfriend kept coming over, staying overnight, throwing his weight around with me, trying to intimidate me, push me around, etc. I told her the boyfriend wasn't welcome anymore. She begged and pleaded, but I held my ground. The boyfriend didn't come back...

Dope dealer? Anonymous tip hotline. Otherwise, I'd get out. Nothing good on the horizon here...

BTW, Maki's link was pure gold.

Set him a trap call the cops when hes asleep telling them youre afraid of your roomate threatening your life, hang down the phone go to where your roommate is and hit him in the nuts, mind you hes gonna get up very pissed, once his awake and hopefully screaming you MUST start screaming like a little fragile woman. Cops get to your home find him mad and you on a crisis then they chack up his room find the stash and "tada" youve got yourself a restraining order !

Well, it comes down to two options unfortunately- confront him and deal with the douche's temper, or find another apt.
I don't know that there anything else you can do.

Yep.

Don't be surprised if you have to replace your door when SWAT kicks it in on a drug warrant though. If you hear your door get kicked in, put your hands where the cops can see them. You don't want to get shot.

Two words: Free drugs.

My strong suggestion is this: get out of the apartment if it is at all feasible. There is no way to "win" with this situation.

Calling the police will give you short-term resolution, but based on your description of the roommate, you will have major issues later.

Discretion is the better part of valor, my friend, move on, post haste.

[bassrique]

Oh yeah, those are the kind of living circumstances where one's equipment ends up growing legs

[thumpbass1]

You either need to call the police or decide to get out as fast as you can. You make it sound that you have more than one roomate, so what's keeping you folks from tossing the jerk out? Sorry but thuggish, violent, druggie, morons tend to act like what they are and aren't prone to change until they get tired of jail or prison, or have some sort of epiphany. You need to protect yourself by either getting him kicked out or moving yourself out of the situation. The fact that you don't feel safe and want to carry a shank on you, shows me that you live with a high load of dysfunction going on. I hope you get out of the mess your'e in friend just for your own sake.

Do you know what he sells, and in what quantities? If we're talking about a dude who sells a few bags of weed here and there to pay for his own smoking habit, then it isn't something to be terribly worried about. If he's selling anything really addictive like coke/crack, heroin, or meth... you should move out, or kick him out. You don't want to be around someone dealing in hard drugs, it's asking for trouble.

Edit: The last thing you want to do is report him to the police while you're living there. You can be as anti-drug as you want, but you don't want any chance of getting blamed for his illegal activities. Nor do you want to have him come after you. If the drugs really bother you, and he is being non-cooperative, you may want to seek advice from an anonymous line. But don't go reporting him straight away - at the very least, you should get out of there first.

Move out and move on. ASAP.
How do you know this cat anyways? He can't be a "friend" if you're worried about him getting in your face...
Whose name is on the lease?
Talk to your landlord & explain the situation...maybe he'll be understanding.

[MakiSupaStar]

Start moving your bass gear to a safe place pronto.
