How would you deal with jerks like that?

Get a cleaner in and share the costs.

I am actually thinking along the idea of asking if the landlord could drop say... £40 off my monthly rent and I'll do the cleaning at least once a week for the house shared area.

You think that's an idea to suggest or like HEADRAT said, get a cleaner in?

The landlord sends someone in once a month to do a "deep clean", starting this Sunday, so I might wait and see how it goes.

Drop by £40 and spend it on a cleaner. Don't do it yourself because he'll start taking you for a ride.

Trust me, an old boss of mine tried to make me take care of cleaning duties once, and you would not believe some of the stuff you see. You dont want that.

How is it possible to crap ON the toilet seat? It sounds like a logistics nightmare.

Because he is quite a big fella' I think it's just down to poor hygiene and not able to clean properly behind? That's my theory because at the front of the toilet seat, is most obviously where he lay his bits... pubes and flakes of skins along with smear marks.
 
Your a student in a shared house. The guy is in his 40's and a student.

Accept your fate and put it down to experience. Never let it happen again.

Case Closed.
 
95% of disagreements in shared houses come from "cleaning", remember not everyones idea of hygiene are the same, I'm not a clean freak but I would absolutely insist that shared toilet and food prepartion (hopefully not the same place) are spotless. The pictures of the kitchen above make me want to put on rubber cloves and get the flash wipes and bleach out!

When I shared a house many moons ago it litterally came to blows over people that wouldn't wash up there pots and pans, so after about 1000 remiders I just threw all their pots and pans in the bin.

I actually like cleaning but others don't, we got a cleaner in and the atmosphere in the house improved overnight both physically and psychologically!

Filthy is an understatement. Why are you still there?! Shortage of housing in the area / exceptionally low rent?

People still living at home, who complain about "unreasonable" parents, should be directed to this thread.
 
The landlord is paying to clean the house every month while you are still in there? I feel like ive entered the twilight zone.

I doubt that he will knock rent off for you doing something which you as a tennent should be doing anyway.

Personally id be buying a potty and using that instead of putting my cheeks on that loo seat ever again.


Shared houses are either heaven or hell... i think we all know which way yours is going :p
 
next time he does it, just go to his room and start banging on door and tell him to clean up his own mess?
 
Next time you walk into the toilet and he has left traces of brown chocolate fudge dragon on the seat (can't believe ON the seat, around the bowl is fair game but SEAT!) , go into his room and drag him into the toilet.

When he is in the toilet, grab his head and rub his face in it and say "NO" firmly.

I'm sure he'll learn his lesson.
