According to the two, they had to take such drastic action after the third roommate had failed to pay rent in three months.

The text overlay reads, “Girls night idea: kicking out your roommate and sending her stuff back to her parents bc she hasn’t paid rent in 3 months.”

This dramatic revenge however was met with controversy. While some applauded them for taking action, some didn't quite agree.

People were also convinced that their actions were most probably illegal and that the two could get into some serious trouble over their petty revenge.

They also said that if her name was on the lease she could not just be forcibly removed by other tenants and that the two didn’t even have the right to sublet the apartment to someone else.

The OP then responded to these comments saying that they had been kind enough to pack her things in a respectful manner and send them to her parents. They also said that she was given multiple warnings before such drastic action needed to be taken.

For most, the three month rent default was enough time given and that the two had already shown patience.
