Do I kill him, maim him, keyboard him or forgive him?

Legally speaking, how would invoicing actually hold up if he chose to ignore?

It seems unlikely that it would, I rather suspect you'd have to show that there was a reasonable expectation on his part (and yours) that he would pay and that it wasn't simply an act of charity before you could even attempt to show that there was any form of contractual relationship which might lead to payment. By all means if you can find him then feel free to invoice him but if he doesn't feel like paying there's not a huge amount to be done.

However it does sound like your family and your daughter in particular are well shot of him, it might take a bit of adjusting to (or not in your case if you completely failed to notice him not being there) but ultimately he's shown himself to not be worth your families time.

I'm more concerned that I put a roof over his head, gave him a guitar to play, gave him a phone, gave him warmth, gave him food and 50 meg internet and he couldn't be a man and leave properly.
Scum.




A 22 year old with his own house - yeah, there's not many (of course the other 3 were a pee take which you missed).

Gotya.

I'm just curious at which point you realised he was a bit of a muppet? Surely before those first 15 months had passed?
 
Sounds like you need to have a chat with your daughter tbh. Tell her in future she should go for men based on "not what's in the front pocket, but what's in the back pocket" (quote from my Uncle's advice to my sisters - neither of them listened :p ). She should have dumped him the moment he lost his house, guitar, record collection and iPhone and moved onto the fat, ginger bloke who has a bob or two.
 
Tempting as it would be to relieve said scum of his kneecaps, I see no benefit of doing this other than temporary satisfaction. For now, you and your family can readjust back to your life prior to him upsetting the apple cart. I would expect his presence put a lot of strain on your family relationships, and probably caused a fair amount of arguments.

He will get his, in time. Either by your hand, or by another he decides to take for granted and abuse their good nature. I do hope for your sake it's you that gets to redistribute the karma in this case however.

Hope you and you family move past this rather unpleasant episode with the minimal of fuss.
 
Fire and lots of it! (someone has to say it)

In reality he's gone, not in anyway a respectable manner, but at least he has gone! Smile and enjoy the fact your daughter is not with a total idiot any more and you have everything else back to your liking. :)

Not really.
He's a young man and most young men like a drink and after the second time he did control it because 'he loved my daughter so much'.
Even though he was applying for about 5 jobs a day and being treated like scum by Temp Agencies, I always thought he wasn't trying in the right places.
He always kept himself very quiet and you wouldn't know he was living upstairs above our living room.
He was no bother and I had to trust my daughters judgement.
There is one saving grace which is my daughter isn't that upset he's gone so there couldn't have been much there in the end.

I guess you have to give the guy some points for pulling an epic life troll.

Too right.
I've just had a neighbour round who has just fell for the Microsoft scam but mine is worse.
 
wait, did he steal anything ?

I would look at this purely on the positive.

1. He's gone
2. Your daughter has seen him for the arse he is
3. You no longer have to support his sorry ass
4. He's gone.

Don't get angry, get drunk, its celebration time.

By chance, you didn't also help this guy staying at your house transfer inheritance of TWO MILLION POUNDS BRITISH STERLING PAPER MONIES from his uncle, Dr Edwin J Ubugabo's, estate?
 
Why did you even let him into your house in the first place?

At least the scum didn't empty your house along with his stuff.
 
You're not going to get any money out of him, you didn't legally agree to this when you first took him in. So don't expect anything in return, this is England, not judge Judy.


Also, think about it, why are you mad? You got rid of a free loader and your girlfriend got rid of an idiot who doesn't seem to have the maturity for a serious relationship.

Sounds like you win to me.
 
What's the saying? "If you lend a friend money and then never see them again, it's money well spent."

Same principle applies here. Better to find out what he's like sooner than later.

About 2 years ago my eldest daughter fell in love with a bloke who had his own house, car, guitar collection and iPhone

His own iPhone you say? Blimey he was successful :P.

In all seriousness, just be thankful that he's finally gone, don't make a big fuss about it.

At least your daughter didn't marry him or something silly. Learn and live on.
 
I would change the locks to make sure he cant get back in.
By the sounds of it your daughter is lucky to be rid of the freeloader.
