Your roommate plays loud music when you need sleep for work. Choose the best TWO options:

4) Agree on volume levels after 9pm
5) Move out tonight with no notice
2) Ask for a quiet-hours agreement
4) Agree on volume levels after 9pm
Boundaries work at the agreement level first. Quiet hours and a volume plan create shared rules. Earplugs can help, but they do not solve the shared responsibility. Revenge or sudden exit usually damages housing and relationships.
