    You are going to take in more lodgers :eek: ????????????

    Brave! But as Spirit says 99% are fine. It's just the occassional one that can put you off.

    I had lodgers for years (well, in a granny annexe so not actually in the house with me) and only the last one was a problem. Unfortunately it coincided with my chemotherapy when I was pretty fragile, physically and mentally, and I've not had anyone in since.

    My lodger moved out part way through the month and I deducted the "rent due" to me as follows:

    He moved out on the 10th, and paid no rent for that month prior...

    Monthly rent is £300.
    £300 divided by 31 days per month (I always use that assumption) = £9.68 per day

    9.68 x 10 days of the month stayed = £96.80 rent due

    Deposit = £300 - £96.80 for rent = £203.20. (then minus off anything else they owe you for, like bills or damage etc.)

    I'd still change the locks! I've been REALLY lucky with my lodgers - never had a problem with them like this....

    Why on earth did you let them stay an extra day? If you are worried about your car, park it a few streets away for a few weeks.

    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    They have moved out.

    One of them brought her ex boyfriend round just for affect. Who told my father I would not be getting my keys

    They won't return the keys untill they get deposit back less past 8 days and bills.
