changing the locks

poppysarah

You're asking here? I'd have been down to the shops to buy new barrels for the locks.
(Getting dressed after the shower of course)

Change them. He needs to give notice anyway before he comes round.

I agree, call the police. If not for yourself for the sake of any future tenants this disgusting pervert might terrorise.

Just because he's the landlord doesn't mean he's not a burglar, thief or pervert. Why was he going through your belongings?
I would make a complaint to the police.

Dunno about new locks, but I'd certainly get a new toothbrush and undies.

the managing director rang me back and unfortunately their official position is that we should consider giving him some leeway as he has so many houses in our area and he has told them that he thought that he was in a different house

Yeah, read that as 'he owns lots of properies and is making us a nice tidy profit and we don't want to upset him so he goes elsewhere'. :rolleyes:

I'd get back on to said managing whoever and give them a bollocking. That is unacceptable.

Credit for being so calm about it. I'd probably be smashing his front door down by now.

All of the above. Creepy f3ck3r.

There is no excuse for his behaviour. The slimey toad's obviously been at it before ... and with so many houses in the area he's probably having a lucky dip in every house with every tenant whenever he feels like it.

What was in these cupboards you heard being opened?
What've you thought you noticed before?

Seriously, the guy could be a pervert!!! What has he doing in your cupboards? He could have been 'relieving himself' or anything! Vile! I would speak to him directly - don't let time pass AND call the police.

That made me laugh out loud - sorry to the OP I know it is terrible, but this guy has a sence of humour.

The trouble is, he would probably take legal action to evict the OP. No problem, you might say, as she wants to leave anyway, but unfortunately, he would probablt then keep their deposit for breaching the tenancy agreement.

Im not saying the OP shouldnt feel safe in her own home, Im just trying to say that as the LL appears to be a slimey little fcuker, he would probably do all he could to create problems for the OP and her boyfriend if they do anything against their agreement.

Personally Id go to the Police with this, because as Ive mentioned above, it could be argued that he has committed burgalry. i.e. He has enetered a property (or part of a property) as a trespasser with the intention of stealing something therein.

This is why she needs to report it to the police, this will also help if the landlord trys to be awkward and take them to court. Make sure you get the crime reference number.

Once you have been to the police I would change the locks.
