I bought my first home and have been renting a room to a woman for about 7 months. She has her own floor with her own bedroom and bathroom, and the other rooms up there are empty (I’m not planning to rent them out).
She’s generally fine and keeps to herself, but I’ve run into an issue with the downstairs guest bathroom, which is right by the kitchen and living room.
Everyday when she comes home from work, she uses the guest bathroom instead of her own, has explosive diarrhea and goes straight upstairs. I can hear everything even with the TV on, and it’s honestly uncomfortable when I have guests over. I’m also the only one cleaning it, and it doesn’t stay fresh for long after I deep clean.
What confuses me is that she has her own private bathroom upstairs, and that one doesn’t seem to have the same issue.
I want to tell her to use her own bathroom for that and keep the downstairs one for guests/quick use, especially since it’s right by the kitchen. I’m just worried it’ll come off rude or embarrassing.
AITA for setting that boundary?
