• Less than two days to decide whether I should ban a "visitor" from our house.

I have a roommate that pays half the rent. Roommate has a boyfriend. Roommate is female. My mother (who does not live with me) brings up the fact that my roommate's boyfriend is staying at our house (on average) five days a week. She brings up the fact that he isn't even on the lease/not paying rent. Not sure why my mother is bringing any of this up. Pretty sure it's my job to ask why this is happening. I just haven't had any time (college student) or motivation to do anything about it because I'm not having any major problems with them. When my roommate leaves, the other is usually on the laptop or sleeping and he knows not to be wasting all the resources in the house. However, fact of the matter is that I still cannot track what they are using and the boyfriend is not on the lease. Pretty sure he's not paying rent. So yeah I brought it up with her. Roommate denies the fact that he's living here since he has his own house. Makes me wonder why he's here most of the week. He has no intent of paying rent. I don't even think he's capable. I have enough information to get the landlord to do something about it. Question is, how bad could this affect me? My roommate would resent me if she knew I had anything to do with her BF not being able to stay here. If in some rare circumstance I (or my mother, since the whole thing was her idea) end up getting them both kicked out, I would then have to find a new roommate, which I don't think is an easy thing to do. I'd rather not have my mother living in the house for reasons I am still trying to repress. Also my mother personally knows the landlord and I only *kind of* do by association.
"because I'm not having any major problems with them. " Then why do you care? Why does your mother care? Tell her to mind her own business.
Why are you investigating this? The guy isn't causing any problems, seems generious enough not to be a shitstain and just waste energy and what not. Just tell your mother some bullshit, like "You don't live here, go find something to do with your free time"
i expected some sort of rodent or raccoon
My roommate's friend crashes on our couch every weekend, bringing some of his own food to eat but eating some of ours also, and using the living room tv. I didn't care about it at first but him being there on my only days off every week taking up the space where I try to relax, play vidya, etc. kind of sucked. I just ended up telling him he could stay if he helped out a little by doing some dishes or taking out the trash if it gets full while we're not there to notice, stuff like that.
