Hi guys,
Just wondering if anybody had any thoughts/ideas about this.
Me and my GF split up a couple of days ago after she had taken some of her clothes and stayed at her mums the previous night following an argument. I told her that I didn't see me spending the rest of my life with her and she agrees that perhaps things just weren't meant to be and that things aren't working out. I asked her what we should do with the house and she said she wants to think about it and left. All reasonably amicable.
Now I've been thinking about what to do with the house the pair of us are currently renting and, maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I'm concerned she might try to make things as difficult as possible. She is doing a PGCE in a couple of months and so she can't afford to run the place on her own with her income as it stands. Her mum lives literally round the corner in a pretty big house and I assume she might head back there to live for the duration of the PGCE.
In an ideal world I'd then buy out her half of the deposit and the jointly owned furniture (there's no room for it at her mums, unless she wants to pay for storage) and then rent out the smaller bedroom to somebody else.
However, her mum makes a bit of money and if she's inclined she might decide that she'll make things difficult and just stay here until the PGCE is over, or just until I'm out of the house, then leave. She won't stay in the town after the PGCE I doubt and has no desire to live with somebody else so certainly won't be looking to take the place on permanently; it's too big/expensive. I've emailed the landlord this:
If she does decide she'd like to stay is there really anything I can do? Is she able to legally change the locks or anything like that to prevent me getting access? If she changes the locks is there anything I can do to gain access? Her rent is paid up until the 16th I think so I've no rights to change them I assume? Am I just being paranoid? I think I probably am :/
Thanks for any advice
