French tenant problem.

I'd suggest the problem isn't that he's French but that he and you/the other tenants have no relationship to speak of if what you've said is accurate. By the sounds of it you've started off on the wrong foot so to speak because if he's been living there for 4 weeks and you don't know his name then that's a fairly big failure on the communication front.

You've certainly got a right not to be impressed by the behaviour but if you have some sort of vaguely civil relationship with your flatmates to begin with they are normally more likely to respect the fact that other people have to live in the house also - of course there are some that are just irredeemable gits but that's fairly rare in my experience.
 
I suggest the step by step approach

1. Explain to him in English that he needs to adhere to the standards

2. If he claims to not understand the English then just explain again but this time just shout a bit

3. If still not comprehending then beat the ever loving crap out of him, if he can't understand English then the chances are he'll have no chance grassing you up to the old bill, be sure to beat him with a 5 day old Tesco Finest Baguette !!!
 
I was just talking to the people in the office.

This guy was supposed to be living in flat 20 and he took it upon himself to move down to flat 1, nothing they can do about it it seems, the guy who was supposed to be living here is now in flat 20. He is only here for 10 weeks so apparently they don't care, one of the French guys lost his key or could not find it, so he tried to smash the front door of the building in and cracked the glass.

I'm angry now.

You definitely need to nip it in the bud as soon as possible. In the student house I stayed in when living in Bradford, one day about 5 Poles turned up and we were informed they would all be staying in the house (in 1 room no less :o).

They created a hell of a mess, used our food from the fridge and other utensils in the kitchen and unfortunately, as nothing was said, it continued until they moved out (well disappeared tbh, as one day they just weren't there any more.

hahahaha this made me chuckle, sums up this city pretty well!


As said, you need to sort this as soon as before it gets too far.
Honestly if speaking to him really does not work i would move your other shared utensils out of the way so only you and your cleaner house mates can use them and start to dump his rubbish and washing up in or at least outside his room and he will soon either get the message or at least move out!
 
Surely the language barrier has nothing to do with common decency/respect and a bit of self-pride?
He seems to have neither so i see nothing wrong with beating him up!

Beat him, beat him until he bleeds onion juice!
 
You need to rub his nose in it and clearly say "NON!". If he doesn't get the message, then a tap on the haunches and repeating the above until he gets the message.
