Ho hum....Life what wit and joy thou bestows.:rotfl::rotfl:
(That is sarcasm just incase you wondered).
So have left mad lodger (lodger, not landlady...you will have to learn to keep up), left her trying to find a temperature on the thermostat of less that 0.
Good luck with that chuck!
Had a meeting to go to 40 miles away today so progressed (You'll be impressed with this Mr Z) from coleslaw and cheese triangle sarnies to bread sarnies. Yes, today I had no time to buy fillings so I just had the bread!!!
Was quite looking forward to getting back to an empty house, just me and the other lodger for a fortnight and a big TV and an empty kitchen and SHOES IN THE HOUSE. Bliss!!!
Got back to a car outside the house????? Landlady's daughter and granddaughter have arrived 'for a few days'. Oh joy. She's checked with her mum and it's okay for her to stay. Yes...what about the other occupants of the house...like ME ....ME ....ME.....ME.

Time to keep a few bags of crisps in the boot. At least then you can have crisp sandwiches.Was quite looking forward to getting back to an empty house, just me and the other lodger for a fortnight and a big TV and an empty kitchen and SHOES IN THE HOUSE. Bliss!!!

You are right Z, she is not as bad as her mother and she is not in her house, and she is apologising for being there.
BUT she does appear to have split up with other half, does appear to be looking for accommodation 'nothing in her price bracket' and does appear to effectively be homeless as there are two lodgers in her mothers house.
Are you seeing where this is going?
I need to keep on my toes in terms of my rights to a reasonable period of notice should she (the mother) decide to boot me and other lodgee out.
I also need to discreetly take photo's of the house incase she decides to keep my deposit. Oh the joys of being suspicious!
Daughter may decide she needs to be back in the area she's come from but she may be prepared to put up with an evil commute for the benefits of living free with mummy!

Are you seeing where this is going?
With that mother? Will it be:- Beaten to death by a illicit muddy shoe?
- Drowned in the bath because there's no lock on the door?
- Choked in the kitchen by a Pot Noodle rammed down the throat?
Place your bets now!I need to keep on my toes in terms of my rights to a reasonable period of notice should she (the mother) decide to boot me and other lodgee out.
How many rights do you have when the landlord is "live-in"?I also need to discreetly take photo's of the house incase she decides to keep my deposit. Oh the joys of being suspicious!
"Careful". The joys of being "careful".Daughter may decide she needs to be back in the area she's come from but she may be prepared to put up with an evil commute for the benefits of living free with mummy!
It would unlikely to be free. You and other lodgee are providing the mother with a significant wodge of cash every month - and the mother does not seem like the kind of person who takes in lodgers because:- She wants the company
- Her bleeding kind heart is paying it forward

You don't arf make me larff Mr Zed!
When you are a lodger you are in just about the MOST insecure form of housing tenure, HOWEVER you are entitled to a 'reasonable period of notice' which if I am paying monthly I would suggest is a month.
However I am considering not giving her a month because she didn't even tell me her daughter was moving in. That is just basic respect and common decency.
