I'm bitching again

dragonyphoenixKat and I are finally communicating ... now that we're no longer sharing an apartment.
I'm pissed at her because she showed some seriously narcissistic tendencies. By the end of our time sharing the apartment, I basically crept around the place like a battered wife or mostly tried not to be there at all.
She's claiming I never told her I was upset that she played the tv every night until she went to bed. That's not true. I might have been cludgy and awkward in my approach, but I did bring it up. Not only that, but I know she knew because sometimes she'd tell me that a show had only ten minutes to go when I got home. That didn't mean she wouldn't watch three or four more episodes after that. I mean sometimes she'd turn the tv off after that episode ended but others she'd tell me the episode was almost over and then continue watching for hours.
Our lease went to the end of June. I'm upset that she told our landlady we were leaving at the end of May. She told our landlady this before she told me which is what I'm really furious over.
She didn't get all of her stuff moved out and left some in a neighbor's garage. Kat left town before the apartment walk-through. I was doing some last minute cleaning and our landlady saw me putting the last of the cleaning supplies in the garage. Our landlady told Kat that I'd volunteered the information that Kat's stuff was in the garage which is totally not true. I did not mean for that to happen.
Kat will be out of town for the summer. Our landlady said I'd told her Kat would be gone for a year.
Our landlady provided a washer and dryer for the whole building, the kind you put quarters in to use. Kat has severe asthma, so bad it would be triggered if others used scented laundry detergent in the washer. So our landlady let Kat have her own washer and dryer in the basement. We each paid $50 a month for the privilege. Kat sold that washer and dryer to our neighbors. Our landlady wants them gone. She's not going to keep that arrangement and is planning to put in a second set of pay with quarters washer and dryer. I'm not sure how our neighbors have worked that out with Kat but I can't imagine they're thrilled at having paid for a washer and dryer that they now have to move out of the basement.
Kat's also upset because our landlady said I hadn't reminded her that Kat wanted her pet deposit back. Totally not true. I told her that Kat really wants the pet deposit back and that she should therefore hold onto it until Kat fixed certain issues (the stuff in the garage as well as the washer and dryer.) That's not how Kat wanted me to tell our landlady about the deposit, but my money wasn't going to be returned until the issues were fixed and so I wanted Kat to be motivated to fix them. Not nice, I know, but after living with Kat for a year I wanted to be out of there with minimal damage to myself.
I'm upset because I paid the whole of the security deposit - Kat paid none although I didn't realize that until she reminded me in May - and our landlady kept half because we were leaving the apartment a month early. Kat wants me to reimburse her for my half of the last of the utilities. I want her to reimburse me for half of what our landlady kept. We will see how that works out.
