Things I Need To Do:

* Call my landlord to see how much legal right my roommate actually has to kick me out based on my age. (Do I have any legal types on my friendslist who can help me out with this one?) I am psyching myself up to this one, as I despise making phone calls.

* Finish up my joke of a résumé to send around.

* Go to Southern Maine Technical Community College tomorrow and see if I can still enroll for next semester, and if they actually have any dorm space available. If yes and yes (or for that matter, yes and no, or yes and maybe), I am considering this a sign from the universe to get going on that college thing already.

* Explain in detail to my roommate that she is a big selfish bitch and tell her I hope she has fun finding someone to replace me, since our efforts to find a third roommate have been fruitless since August.

* Okay, maybe not so much that last one, but it would be fun.

* Have something to eat, go to work, and hope that my shift passes without a single attempt on my life vehicle hitting the building.

Um, my guess is none. But I wouldn't call your landlord about it until you know the facts, which you can find onine. I'd search for you, but I'm not really sure what the situation is. I'm sorry you're dealing with such a nightmare. That blows.

I'm not exactly a lawyer, but I'm incredibly certain that age is not a valid basis for eviction. She has no legal grounds to kick you out.

Whether or not your roommate can kick you out depends on whose name is on the lease. If she was the one who rented the apartment originally and selected you as a roommate to move in with her, then she might have some leverage as far as being able to decide whether or not you can stay. If you got the apartment together though, it's as much your living space as it is hers. And if the lease is in your name, and you selected her as a roommate... you can tell her to fuck off.
Usually it's the landlord who would arbitrate in a dispute like this, I think, so getting in touch with them would be a good idea regardless.
