Stitching a few prawns into the hems of the curtains is also guaranteed tp produce a nice whiff.

i'm a live in landlord

I use to be too, had up to 3 lodgers at anyone time ,I hated it but needed the cash thankfully I don't need the money anymore .

Sounds like he needs the cash but dislikes you being there ,he has no right telling you to tidy your room etc. he has no business going in there !
I would get a bed flat with you gf if I was you !

Can you set a video up in your bedroom? If you could catch him on video pushing you around then you could really cause him some trouble with the police.

Got a contract?
If you have one then you can stir some real **** up for your landlord.
IF not. Why not? It just gives him an excuse to be a pain.
I hope your rent is cheap and that your next place will be nicer for you!

He'll either not be in yet, or will be playing online poker at that time. 8am is the middle of his sleepy time

Waiting for police to come round fiancee's place. Feel like a beer but prob wouldn't be right to do so before they come over

hehe.

when you pack up your gear to move out dont forget to tell the local hoodies how he sometimes touched you

Surfer · 9 Feb 2008 at 19:16

He barged in and pushed me over (he's 6'3" or so, I'm only 5'10", and weigh a lot less. Also, my keyboard was out of reach.)
"you dont know who you're dealing with. Don't ******* mess with me!" He said.

I've sent a email off to the cab with a bit more detail. Their phones aren't open atm. I'm about to leave the house and phone local coppers.

What can I do atm? Obviously I want to spend as little time here as possible, and I want to recoup as much money as possible for the time I have remaining. And cause maximum hassle to this flaming moron.

wow! call police immediately. Do him for assault. Do not pay his deposit back , just leave. Get out of there dude.

I admit ocassionally i get a little annoyed at my lodger but im more messy than him really

i never complain about mess... it doesnt seem to bother me at all....even if theres mould in cups etc

His mum is a bit weird though - comes round at like 11 am (waay too early) to bring cakes and soup for him.

No, I didn't give her a key. He just made a jibe about getting her one as she was around for three nights in four.

He has already flat refused any sort of lock saying 'that will never happen'.

I haven't ever brought anyone round except my partner.

Another thing I'm a bit miffed about is nowhere to dry clothes. I have to keep the clothes horse in my room, making it quite cramped, and the air a bit damp. There is a perfectly suitable place, out of the way, in the kitchen/dining area, but he wrote me another note to say that isn't allowed.

Err and you've put up with this for so long without having serious words with him because...?

craptakular · 9 Feb 2008 at 19:26

Go do a "Mr Whippy" on his pillow. I would.

stevenazari1 · 9 Feb 2008 at 19:57

hehe you need to get the key cut, put the address on it and give it to a random that looks shifty. he'll know what to do.

because it's like talking to a wall. everything ends up with 'it's my house, my rules.'

to the comments about contracts:
lodgers can have contracts/licenses, but they are pretty worthless tbh.

When I left, he was on the phone to someone. I suspect checking out his rights and situation. I just received an apologetic text message from him. I think he is quite scared about the precariousness of his position.

well his house, his rules init. if I was op I would have injected him with aids by now

or killed his parents, chopped them into bits and fed them to him.

CircleFaust · 9 Feb 2008 at 20:18

if you are paying for the internet he shouldn't be cutting you off when he feels like it.
i would have a discussion with him about any issues you may have.
if he is still not willing to compromise look for somewhere else if possible
