Arghghghg - Just had an email from a couple looking for a room for 3 months - june/july/august

Although my lease is until the end of August - my landlord has said he'd like to be in during August if he can - do I email him and chance my arm

Or do I give myself less hassles and say sorry I can't help them?

Its potentially 900 quid.......................

Maybe say to them you can help them for 2.5 months but not the full 3?

Another stupid question - I normally charge 285 a room per person - what on earth do you charge a couple?

Pips_Mum

£5000 no maybe a bit excessive! I think I would charge them around the £400 mark as that would be only charging the 2nd person around half.
Oh and count the cornflakes out so they dont get too good a deal from it!!:rotfl::rotfl:

Ooh, sounds exciting Fay! Bit annoying though. Hmm. Not sure what to suggest - maybe go with the 2.5 months idea? Or even would they take 2 months? Possibly not... Don't go giving yourself unnecessary hassle! It's money, but is it worth it??

(sorry, I'm fully aware that was of no use whatsoever!)

Hello, by the way!

Beautiful snowdrops, oh stripey one

I think tell the couple you can't do all of August & leave it with them. It's the fairest option & probably the one that wil give you the least hassle. I'd agree with something around the £400 mark too - hope this helps

i say give it a shot at asking the landlord and fingers crossed he may be understanding.

Snow's melting and I'm giving booking a hotel a shot!

Thanks for the lovely comments - i've emailed my landlord - watch this space......
