Help with a house mate from hell.

Get out of this situation as soon as possible. It would be a ballache but this Hattie will act like this again when she can't get her own way. Move her out or move out I say.
 
Know the feeling mate, most of the problems stem from daddies girls IMHO.

The best advice I can offer is to NOT retaliate under ANY circumstances. Trust me if she is anything like my old Uni flatmate it may prove difficult. There was 5 of us to start with then 6.

I had kitchen utensils thrown at me, doors slammed in my face, washing TORN up, plates smashed, my ex had her knickers go missing, all kinds of crazy stuff. Her boyfriend was submissive the same as your situation, he ended up leaving her after finding out she had a one night stand with her best mate (who we flatmates believed was gay).

What was worse after the violence and she got drunk she tried to sleep with every other flatmate (should point out we lived with 2 women). She was one bat**** crazy *****. The level she went to was insane.

In the end she was forced to move out, we had a clause in our contract to prevent other people moving in or staying more than two nights a week. She broke it a dozen times too. It was awful not just for me but my flatmates also got it in the neck. Jenny one of the female flatmates (extremely nice woman, not a bad word to say about anyone) ended up with a broken nose after having a door bashed in her face.

Little spoiled daddies girls really.
 
evict the bitch and hand her some notice. Make sure her references are up to scratch although you should have done that before hand so if she causes trouble you know where to send the old bill too.
 
Hey there,

I think that when it comes to house-sharing, there does need to be a bit of take a little and give a little.

I don't quite understand why the boyfriend was charged £200 for 9 weeks, you should have losen up a bit there and maybe halved it.

Why not sit down at a table like civilised adults and discuss it.
 
If your other house mate will back you on her being mental and physically abuse then get together and talk to the landlord and see what your options are. Also call the police on their non emergency number just so there's a note of what's happened just in case she tries to turn it round. Write off the money and her bf situation until you've sorted getting her the boot.
 
If you own most of the stuff in the house just prevent her use of it until she has paid you the money she owes. She will become a lot more agreeable after a few weeks of no access to the T.V. internet, fridge, washing machine ect. Or even better take the hint that she is not wanted and leave.
 
If the washing machine / fridge is yours i would be sooo tempted to put them in your bedroom and stick a lock on the door
 
If you or her aren't moving out then you need to agree what is classed as ok for staying over and what isn't. Then you need to agree what percentage of the rent each person pays.
The rent is split 3 ways, that stays. But within that, Matt can only pay a portion of Hatties rent, your GF can only pay a portion of yours.
Bills can then be worked out on top.

It's not hard to do if you can get the crazy mental bitch to sit down and actually discuss it.
 
I've solved this problem in my old houseshare. I got punched a few times in an absolutely identical arguement to you about a guest renter via email which led to a confrontation also in the kitchen lol, and it didn't hurt loads but it enabled me with the help of the guy that also was a witness to go straight to the police and I got quite a bit of money and this crazy woman evicted out of it (pretty much she got arrested so we chucked all her stuff out and changed the lock and ebayed some of it lol). I was well happy and relieved with the outcome and so were the other people in the house who couldn't stand her.
 
If Matt isn't even part of the contract, just kick him out surely? Then she'll be like 'nlah blah blah... i loved him now he's homeless ...blah blah blah... im moving out.' If she tries to bring him back in just say that she didn't follow rules or whatever and get her kicked out.
 
I'm really amazed by the lack of "smash her pasty in" comments. OP, you got lucky in GD.

She sounds like an absolute nutter. I'd personally seek some legal advice in terms of chatting to your landlord about it like others have said. If you want less stress, tell your landlord you've been assaulted and just move out, leave them with nada because all the stuff is yours.
 
If sub-letting is not in your contract, then you best come to some sort of amicable answer, or you'll all end up on the street.

My suggestion is charging anyone (your girlfriend, her boyfriend etc) £25 per full week that they occupy the house. This way, your girlfriend pays less as she isn't there full time.
