If so, she needs to apply to be a housemate. Which, obviously, you wouldn't agree to.
Yeh she's using our facilities. She mainly eats the food she buys herself. He said she'll be there no more than a month until she finds another place. It's already been two weeks and I don't see her looking for a new place. In another two weeks if she's still there I'll have a chat to my friend. I suspect he'll try to weasel out of it.

Or you do the same.
Good luck with this.
Definetly. I've already been nipping this in the bud so to speak. Though at the same time I don't want to take extreme measures. I don't want to move out because it's a lot cheaper to live with two other friends and apart from this girl things are good on all other fronts. I'd rather find some other solution to this. I'll keep on trying.
What makes it more complicated is that I also feel sorry for her. She's one of those people with a complicated past and a tough life (something my friend is no doubt taking advantage of). She's trustworthy, she wouldn't do anything bad as well. Forcing her to move out or focring her to look for a new place is something I haven't gotten through my system yet. I think my friend should be made to take responsibility for her and her stay.
