My roomie and I are in college living in one of the apartment complexes. So I referred my ex girlfriend and her roomie to rent one of the apartment complex that I am living in. They asked my ex girlfriend who referred them and they said my name. They said they will give the gift card after 90 days. Well the manager of the apartment complex sent a text recently to both me and my roomie that there is a 100 dollar card for us to come pick up. I go there and pick it up they tell me they didn't know who referred so they will just let us fight over it.

My roomie asked about the gift card and asked to split it. I was put in a weird spot and caught off guard. Don't know what to do. On one end I don't think she deserves it cause I am the one who referred/feel cheated and the other end I should pick and choose my battles. Do I want to save 50 bucks and cause tension/conflict with my roommate?

You made the referral, you get the gift card. Since your ex girl friend lives in the apartment complex now, have her back you up.

Does your roommate know either of these two people? Did you discuss it beforehand that you were going to refer your ex and her roomie?

From what you said I have no idea why your roomie would expect to benefit from this referral. If you refer your ex to your dentist will she expect a cut of that gift card, too?

Is your roomie ordinarily sane and reasonable or ..... difficult and a nut job?

in my head im like why does she think she deserves it? i think she is under the impression that they sent a text to both of us to come pick it up that she deserves a part of it.

Let's do the flip test. I'm living with a roomie. My roomie refers someone HE knows, and gets a gift card for the referral. Do I deserve a cut?


IMO, no.

Use the gift card to go out and eat with the roomie or buy groceries.

Tell your roommate when she makes a successful referral, she can get a gift card, too.

Is this the first time she's claimed something she isn't entitled to?

Nope. Wrong answer.

Tell her she doesn’t even know who was referred. Take a hike.

Then maybe you should explain to her what the situation was. YOU made a referral.

Sounds like you will be looking for a new roomie, pretty soon, no matter how you decide.
Keep the money, and start looking.
