Question
Unforchantly I am facing some problems. I have an aggressive roomate who has been trying to through underage drinking parties. I had told him I would not allow him to and have faced repercussions because of it. This has started 6 months ago. I am facing continual harrassment from this individual, including physical threats. He has started pushing and shoving me down in two instances. I try not to react because it would just breed problems. Unforchantly he works in the office of the place I wILL BE MOVING INTO AT THE END OF THIS MONTH. He said " You better watch out because I am your leasing agent now and I will evict you." In addition these behaviiors follow me to school. He attends Johnson and wales with me and is in my class. I am trying to be christian about this but am to a point where I can't take anymore and I believe he will attack me. I need to know my rights and what I can do to protect myself. He has always been like this and I need to make sure that other individuals will not have t go throuh the full extents that I have too. Thank you for your time and response.

Answer
Josh,

    I am not sure why you are going to an internet site for "help" about this situation.  Surely your town has a police department or the college has a campus police department that you can call or go to for advice and help.  It sounds like your roomate has commited several criminal acts so the police should be called when these things happen.  And honestly I don't understand why you are still there?  Move out.
