Hi

I live in a house share, i pay £300 per month which includes everything.
Now i live with 2 others, well 3! but i will get to that bit.

Basically its me a guy i work with and some random bird who i didn't know before i got here!

When i moved in it was just me and the land lady, she then moved out but still owns the house and decided to rent out the 2 other rooms.

So then this girl moves in (not my type but some of you would) and shes single ;) but then she gets this annoying boyfriend! He's polite and friendly but his voice drives me and the other guy insane! hes a loud common northerner.
But what really drives us even more crazy is the fact the **** is here every night! hes over from about 7 till the next morning when he drops her to work.


Ok so me and the other mate are pretty sick of him, but then last night i hear him knock on the door "BANG BANG BANG" on the knocker :(

Im sat in the lounge with me girl friend and wait for his girl friend to let him in, but she doesn't! I then hear the front door open and he pops his head around the door and says "ohhh sorry to interrupt but is she in here?"
I couldn't believe it, he has a ****ing key now!!

Any way he doest contribute to the house and we are fed up of him and her (shes lazy and don't clean) so do you guys think its time to call the land lady and have a word? its been like this for about 8 months now and this key incident really grinds my gears.

Oh and yes he uses the shower which we clean, the kitchen which we also clean and they both hog the lounge!

we pay for toilet roll which he must use, soap to wash up, dishwasher tabs to clean his dishes, bin bag ect.


GORRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD:mad:
 
Its also annoying when you walk into the lounge and all his clothes are in there drying off and hes dumped his dj equipment off right in the middle of the sodding lounge!
 
Fire and lots of it!

In reality, this happens a lot. In my student house last year 2 of my flat mates had live in bf/gf's, it annoyed all (including the people who were living there). This year my gf has been semi living here, it's not been good.

Just turn around to the guy and go dont you have a home of your own?!?!(with an offended look) if he's paying his way though you dont have much to go on (though I doubt thats the case)

Oh yeah and move his stuff out the living room if "its in the way" *wink wink* and if he gets annoyed point out its really not his house...
 
Don't be a douche and go straight to the landlady. Have a word with the girl and her boyfriend and explain your grievance. If they do nothing to rectify the matter, then go to the landlady. At least then you will have given them a chance. They may not know that you have a problem right now.
 
Yep have a word to your flatmate (the lass with the boyfriend) first and discuss an arrangement if possible. Discuss what your finding trouble with in the most calm and rational voice you can lol and see if something can happen and make sure she knows he isnt allowed the key as im sure only tenants are allowed them not boy/girlfriends.

If things dont work out over say a 2 week period minimum then go to the land lady and say well its been going on 8 months and just last fornight i had tried to talk to her and tried an arrangement but that didn't work and now me and the rest of the household are fed up and ask her to do something and dont take no for an answer or threat to leave or somit and say good luck trying to find nice tenants to live with that person (sly chuckle here) etc.

Just my opinion of course.

Gluck with it.

Oh and get your neighbours to complain to the land lady too. We had this annoying chav lad upstairs in a 4 flat building and everyone was sick of him with loud music, attitude and all night noise. My neighbour who doenst live in a council house was the main complainer as their old and she managed to get him kicked out after awhile but only with help from all the neighbours as well.

So more ppl to complain the better your voice is heard.
 
I got a crap house mate also! But that's a completely different story lol!

Basically note down everything he uses and charge him for it he will soon get the hint and probably not come round anymore. Also doesnt she ever go round his?

Also the key thing. Tell land lady asap!

Hope it gets sorted dude.

get you own detatched villa.

I did.
 
Surely him having a key and effectively staying in the house permanantly means you have the contractual terms (she presumably signed) on your side. As mentioned, proceed down the reasoning route as far as you can go and if you're still not satisified, then hit them with the book.
 
Go to the land lady.

I had the same issue but it was the landlords daughter who even brought over more of her friends to stay over 5 out of 7 days a week. Well they were both of our friends but more of hers, and they would sit up all night and be noisy and eat my food. She would even lock herself in and her parents would just walk straight in too. All paid by me! And I couldn't do much about it :)

Does he have a place of his own? Doesn't sound like it if he's effectively doing his laundry at yours...

But he has a key to the house which could mean a whole lot of trouble. It is serious enough to warrant going straight to the owner of the property.

Her boyfriend should definitely not be having a key and you every right to be angry Haz.

I am really surprised that it has taken 8 months for you to be concerned.

ROFL haz! didnt realise that OP was you! mate ill come round one night and say loads of crap to him with duffen! trust me he wont come round again haha!
 
well they are sharing 1 room, so i dont see the reason why they should have to pay more rent.

they should be paying for 50% of any bills though if your buying everything together, or you start putting your name on your own stuff and nobody else is allowed to use it.

probably better off with the 2nd option of those 2.
