ok before reaching out to the RA just send her a text saying something like “hey i’ve been noticing that the rooms been getting kinda messy lately and i was wondering if we could possibly set some time aside to tidy up a bit” that way it doesn’t come off confrontational and if she tries to argue it or give you attitude that’s when you take pictures of the mess and screen shots of the message and contact your RA but going straight to them could just lead to unnecessary tension

I think it’s worth saying how you feel and that the messiness is impacting your mental health and that will ultimately affect your studies. If there is no improvement, leave. But before you tell her that speak to the RA about the process of moving out if it were due to those reasons bc you foresee it going down that path since you’ve already mentioned it and felt dismissed.
