Is it okay if I beat my roommate up?

1 Answer

Answer :

Personally, I have no problem with that. Before you do however I would advise writing down everything your roommate has done. A list of grievances if you will. Time and date are a plus. That way in court, it will look like you were merely defending yourself. The key here is to get your roommate to hit first. This way you will get to deck her right proper and have back up documentation.
