So im staying in a rented room and its been almost 3 months since i moved into this room. Theres a couple (who are the owners of the house) and me staying in this house. At the start they were quite nice. But now they have become so controlling and stingy. First they asked me not to use the lights in the afternoon then not to use the heater in the afternoon and couple of other things. I obliged by everything.
Recently they have started hiding stuff in the house. Even though im only renting the room, i asked them whether i can use the kitchen utensils and washing machine and things like that which are theirs.
Now they are starting to hide stuff. Last couple of weeks when i wanted to wash my cooking utensils, the dishwashing liquid was missing. And it seems that they have hidden it. Today when i looked they have hidden the sponge. lol. Now after 3 months they are asking me to remove my hairs which have fallen in the bathroom. Before that it was the toilet paper which they hid. So i said to my self that that is ok. But now all of a sudden they are hiding these things.
So my question is why are they hiding and controlling me in this way ALL OF A SUDDEN. They are bloody nice to my face but hide the stuff. I used to really like this place and still do but these people are driving me nuts. What should i do.

are they being stingy.
were all of these things included in your rental agreement.
if not
much as its a pain
buy your own things
it would annoy me having to live like that and have to remember to take dishwashing liquid to the kitchen and back to my room, or toilet paper to the bathroom etc
but if you like living there its one soloution
the other is to ask “what IS included in your rent.”
that way you both know where you stand
PS I would ask you to remove you hair too.
eeew
well. all I can say is, if these things (using washing machine, dishwashing liquid, etc) were not written down into the rent agreement, you can’t do much about it.
I suggest you buy your own dishwashing cleaner and your own detergent for washing clothes. You may ask them to use their machine to wash your clothes, but use your own detergent. Then keep that detergent in your room. Once in a while, buy some vegetables or fruits (only what you can afford) and share it with them. I think they are acting stingy because they feel you are taking advantage of their hospitality (even if it is only imagined, on their part).
Prices for everything have just gone so high these days that even having to share a bottle of soda is a touchy subject for anyone. They may be having financial issues that are forcing them to act the way they are acting.
I am sure things will become more relaxed once you start sharing some things with them or having supplies of your own.
All the best.
