<p>While security may not “do” anything because it’s off campus, they can still give her advice about protecting her property. (And once she’s on campus, she becomes their problem. It’s great that your friends convinced her not to go back; now they have to get her stuff out!</p>
<p>And your friends shouldn’t report roomie to the Dean until d’s stuff is out.</p>
<p>Good advice, everyone. And I don’t think she should go back to get her stuff without company. I think roomie is a nice girl who is just really unstable right now. I don’t know if she could be dangerous to others (though probably is when driving) but it’s not worth the risk of finding out. I do worry about this girl being alone if she’s really delusional, but the parents and a prof at the school have now been notified. A 20 yo roommate should not be the one responsible for dealing with this terrible situation.</p>
<p>So sorry this is happening to your friend’s DD. The landlord may either not care unless somethig big & damaging goes down or may not have any power to do anything. There are a lot of odd tenants rights out there, you hear of cases (not certai of the accuracy!) where a landlord both cannot evict an alledged druggie tenant, but also gets cited for an maintaining an unsafe house…I guess part of the legal part is the proof- an actual conviction for drugs, by the time it is proven the lease could be over, so better to protect herself and get away. Maybe the roomie will be gone after the holiday and she can find a nice new roommate- perhaps they only have to find a short term safe place to study for finals??</p>
