Toxic Housing Situation

I’ll add my voice to those who are telling you to contact the landlord and the police and get out. Now,

You are rightly fearing for your safety, and “snitch” is a term that bullies use to gaslight their victims. So after you have found somewhere safe to stay, notify your landlord that the boyfriend is still around, and that you do not feel safe being in your home. Do it using email, not verbally, and make the reasons clear

Overall, from now on, only interact with your roommate and with your landlord by email, so that you have a paper trail. If she physically confronts you, call 911 immediately. If your roommate or her boyfriend threaten you in any way, call 911, and if it happens again, have a restraining order issued. Do not provide either your roommate or your landlord with your next address.

It may not be that serious, but it’s better to overreact than to be another domestic abuse statistic.
