How to avoid arguments with roommates over basic things?

Can't wait for the day I can afford to live without roommates.

Anyhow, new roommate lives downstairs but has been putting half her groceries in upstairs fridge where I and another roommate live.

How can I address this without starting a fight?

I don't know her well, did not have a hand in choosing her, and recently learned she's on edge filing bankruptcy (36yr old nurse without a car and a lotta baggage apparently).

She's definitely a has-been and her glow is completely gone so that also adds to potential bat**** craziness.

The passive aggressive move is to start eating the food she leaves in your fridge.

Because you're a Miscer, I should emphasise that 'eating her groceries' does not mean sexytimes.

She has the whole downstairs apartment which she is supposed to pay $975/month for...but out of the kindness of the lease-holding roommate's heart, she let this woman move in a month early rent free.

The right way to do it:
Ask/Tell her to not use your fridge Politely.

The shy weird way to do it;
Put a piece of paper on the fridge door asking nicely for that fridge to be reserved for you

The dick way/passive aggressive:
Put a lock on the fridge, don’t say anything

The way to start a fight/aggressive way:
Take her stuff out of the fridge and place down stairs on the counter and let it spoil. If she asks say the extra fridge space is a 100 bucks a month

Does she have her own fridge?

Did landlord establish fridge rules?

Looks like they're gonna need to.

Would it be so hard to just tell her that you need the space for your own groceries?

Don't let people walk all over you bro.
I've been direct with female roommates before and it's NEVER gone well.
Example: Hey there Sarah, would you mind using your own space for your things? -WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO WALK MY GROCERIES UPSTAIRS TO THE KITCHEN EVERYDAY REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The landlord has a "You're grown ups, figure it out" policy. Can't blame em.
