8 months and you still haven't done anything about it?

just what i was thinking.

have a word with him asap.

he's taking the rise out of you 2 (and his girlfriend) and if nothing happens then contact the landlady.
 
Devon... pasties.

I'm sure there's something I should be advising you to do right now. I just can't think what.

Oh and i figured id post a daft answer after the long good answer.

Fake answer - Demand a shag from the lass for the hassle and threated to get her evicted by tellin the land lady (oh yeah take pics of everything with mobile phone if poss) and say i got pics of him with a key and stuff. That way sex for life or till she moves out mwahaha. :p
 
My landlady allows couples, which means we usually have 7+ people in a house barely big enough for 4. :/ Think yourself lucky it's only ONE annoying parter you have to deal with.

I've lived in countless shared houses, and if you're living with any random girls then you should expect this kind of thing unfortunately. This is actually the main difference between living with lads and living with girls. For example; If you live with 2 lads then you live with 2 lads. But if you live with 2 girls then you live with 2 girls PLUS their 2 partners.

And he doesn't even sound that bad to be honest. Oh noes, he came over looking for his girlfriend? How dare he?!

I suspect you're wound up about the toilet roll etc based more on principle, rather than the actual amount of money it's costing you. But if you're really determined to complain about him then the friendly "good housemate" thing to do would be to approach the girl first and talk to her about it. Ask her if she could ask him to contribute to costs a little. Then if there's still a problem THEN talk to your landlady about it.

There shouldn't be any need to go directly to your landlady about it, assuming you are a reasonable person and capable of communicating with the people you live with...*


*Which I guess may not be the case if you need to post in GD about it before even talking to your own housemate. :p

Form an elaborate plan to end their relationship. He'll be gone, she'll be lonely and vulnerable and you'd have a good chance of taking a whack at her.

Or, unplug the dishwasher and washing machine when he's over, claiming they've both blown their fuses as you had a power surge. Say you can't afford to get them both repaired, so you're having to wash your clothes at your friends' houses and feel REALLY bad about it.

Or, kill him.

YES! Stick a couple of used jonnies under her bed, you can do it yourself or use mayonnaise and water. Stick a spare toothbrush in the toothbrush holder, a lads mag under her bed, a bottle of lubricant in her wardrobe as well as some boxer shorts with stiching in them 'Ben' and mens deodrant.

Photoshop a picture of her with this lad called 'Ben', make a fake account on FB with said manipulation, preferably do more manips. Send letters through the door claiming to be 'Ben' and hope he finds them.

She'll claim she doesn't know who he is or how that stuff got in her room. When they both come asking you and your flatmates...

NO HOTLINKING!

DENY IT! Hopefully he'll be out of your life then.

My other half is currently living in a house share at the moment with 3 other people (due to move out next week though into our own place :) )

Anyways, for the last 11 months whilst she's been there, I only ever make sure I stay overnight no more than once a week. When I do stay, Any stuff I bring stays in her room and I make sure I cause as little disruption as possible to other lodgers.

I wouldnt dream of taking advantage of someone elses place, especially in a house share situation.

As mentioned, have a word with the girl in question, a polite word. Then speak with the landlady.....im sure she will be very interested to hear that someone who doesnt have permission to live/ have a key there has access to the property via a key. As far as im aware that make the house contents insurance void! ;)
 
Have a word with her and explain the situation and how it is unacceptable.

Think yourself lucky it's flatmates and not family-in-laws :/
 
I'm pretty sure that getting a key cut often breaks the terms of the contract so I imagine the landlady wouldn't be too happy about that regardless.
