Roommate lost mailbox key?

Question

my roommate lost mailbox key, and now my mail is not retrievable in the box. key can not be found. and when i confronted roomie, roomie replied that things like keys get lost. i tried to discuss the issue more, but roomie just laughed it off and said a replacement key can be had for $150. i thought i had lost key, and blamed myself, and was stressed out that i was so unreliable. however, i found out that roomie lost it, but i'm still stressed that my roomie is so unreliable. any suggestions please?

Answer 1

Well I certainly hope your roommate intends to pay for the key since they are the one that lost it. If they don't offer, you better talk to him/her and make sure they are going to pay!

Answer 2

Let her pay for it then let it drop...

Answer 3

Roomie lose it, roomie pays for it.

Answer 4

Change the lock and send the roommate the bill.  If she won't pay for it, threaten to take her to small claims court. This is why I don't let roommates have keys.
