Does A Lock Fitted On The Bedroom Door Alter Legal Position?

Congratulations.

Hopefully all will be well and he wont try anything as regards suing you. I very much doubt he will even try somehow.

The most important thing has been sorted now anyway. Your home is your own again.

Anyway...if anyone ever tries questioning why you weren't prepared to let him stay under your roof any longer then you just counter with "So what's the difference between me and a battered wife then? A woman who feared she might receive violence from her husband would understandably not want him under the same roof. I'm a little woman and he's a man and he isn't even my husband....so why should I have been put at risk of being on the receiving end of violence from him if I'd let him stay for longer? I was scared he might indeed commit violence against me."

Yes...that does indeed feel the case sometimes. I've had a couple of male lodgers I came to be scared of in the end...so got rid of them.

More telling to me by far as to his likelihood of suing you is how "nicey nicey" he was in front of your friend. That just proves he doesn't want to show himself up in front of witnesses and I think it would certainly "show him up" if he were to try suing in the circumstances.
