Congratulations on your new place! I hear it has enough room for all your dirty dishes to finally reach critical mass without bothering *my* counter space.
Don't be a stranger, unless, of course, that's what you're going for. In which case, mission accomplished already.
Turn this into a beautiful card for Roommate
Send a private link they'll actually want to open — not just a text. Free, no account needed.
I'll miss your uncanny ability to finish the milk without ever being the one to buy it. It was truly a gift.

None of these feel quite right?

It's been... an experience. An experience I'm thrilled to no longer be experiencing daily.
Don't worry, I've already changed the Wi-Fi password. Just in case you 'accidentally' drop by.
May your new neighbors appreciate your late-night gaming sessions as much as my earplugs did.
Goodbye! I'm sure your new home will be a much better fit for your unique aroma. And by 'unique,' I mean 'mysterious.'
Remember all those times you said you'd clean? Me neither. Maybe your next roommate will have better luck!
Common questions
Is it okay to be sarcastic with a going-away message?‹
Absolutely! If your relationship with your roommate is built on playful banter and a shared sense of humor (or mild mutual exasperation), sarcasm can be a hilarious and memorable way to say goodbye. Just ensure they'll 'get' the joke!
How can I deliver a sarcastic message without being genuinely mean?‹
The key is context and relationship. Deliver it with a smirk, a wink, or even a slight hug to show it's all in good fun. Avoid truly sensitive topics, and focus on shared, non-damaging 'annoyances' that you both can laugh about. A small, thoughtful gift can also soften the blow.
What if my roommate doesn't appreciate sarcasm?‹
If your roommate isn't keen on sarcasm or you have any doubts, it's always best to err on the side of genuine well-wishes. You don't want their final memory of living with you to be a misunderstanding. A simple, heartfelt 'Good luck with everything!' can go a long way.
