In a Reddit post on the “AITA” subreddit, an 18-year-old woman shared a dilemma about her boyfriend demanding half the rent after discovering she owned the house. The woman, renting the first floor for $500 due to its distance from the city, invited her boyfriend to move in temporarily to help with his rent troubles.
For three months, they split only groceries, and she didn’t disclose her ownership of the house. When her boyfriend overheard a conversation with her tenant about a broken freezer, he learned the truth. He became angry, insisting she give him 50% of the rent, considering landlords as money-focused and evil.
After offering to donate half to charity, he called her selfish, prompting her to end the relationship. Even with her father present during the discussion, the boyfriend laughed, declared he never wanted to see them again, and left. Redditors suggested changing locks to avoid further contact.
In this real-life drama, a simple living arrangement turned into a dispute, revealing underlying conflicts about money and principles.
