Asking Eric: Messy Housemate Gives Host Silent Treatment

The guest has kept nine large boxes in the living room for over seven months and stopped doing chores after a conflict, prompting plans to end her stay.

  • Recently the homeowner allowed the daughter of a cousin to move in while she finishes college, but the stay meant for a semester has become the longest semester ever.
  • The guest arrived with at least nine big boxes in the living room, and the homeowner has asked for around seven months for the boxes to be moved but the guest has not complied.
  • The homeowner reports the guest left gobs of hair in the bathroom, and after a text complaint, the guest slammed a door, then became sullen, stopped speaking, and quit chores.
  • As the semester ends, the columnist suggests a 'state of the arrangement' talk with clear expectations and involving the cousin so the guest can find another option.
  • The column notes that good hosting and guesting require clear communication, emphasizing the homeowner is not the guest's parent and the guest must respect the home and homeowner.
