My former co-worker just sent me an e-mail about her current housing situation. I feel so badly for her. I told her to demand to get it changed before someone hurts her. Crying or Very sad

"My housing is strange too. I was told that I would be living there alone, but there have been people in there all the time. The person who hired me didn't know the strange circumstances of this house, "the guest house." I was told one night when I finshed class at 10:30 PM that I had to be out of the house at 8:20 AM for the next 2 days because the University's President wanted to have VIP breakfasts there. The staff comes in any time they want to use the kitchen. They told me not to use any of the dishes there, and I can't leave my cooking things in the kitchen. I came home from Seoul once and found 2 Indian ladies staying in one of the bedrooms. Once I went to brush my teeth before class and found one of the cooks taking a crap in my bathroom with the door open. I told the guy that I would take the job IF I would live there alone. I was even told in the first week that they were moving me into the dorm. I told them what I was told before I signed. I wouldn't have moved in. I would have left. Obviously, the housing is not what I expected, and I just need to leave town every chance I get. There's nothing to do here, anyway."

I can't believe she's in such a sketchy situation. I haven't heard of anything this bad in regards to housing. It's a university, too!!!!!!!

what's in her contract regarding the type of housing.
from your posting, it sounds like she was told it would be a guest house. everyone knows guest houses aren't private.
