Increasing a lodger's rent by £20 a week is pure greed. I cannot imagine how you arrived at that figure and it looks like you're expecting the lodger to cover the whole of the utilities and not half of them. If I was your lodger I'd have gone as well. And probably wouldn't have been decent and given you two week's notice.

I don't think you're cut out for this landlording lark.

Sorry but when you first join a forum asking for advice I think you should be a bit nicer to long term posters who have given a lot of useful advice to many people. Otherwise people will be less willing to share their help.

I for one agree, I would have left if you tried to raise it by that amount.

i was after unbiased advice, not opinions from people with nothing better to do than moan...

But it is unbiased. An almost 50% increase in rent is unreasonable in almost anybody's view.

that was not the question though, the question was is he due the deposit, but the answer he gave is not unbiased, helpful or even profesional.
he is just a forum troll with nothing better to do...

i have been told that he is due his deposit and i can tell you he has it in his bank already, so am not greedy, maybe naive that i would not end up writing what i am, as like so many other forums, it too crowded with freemsaon like trolls who have no life other than to comment on other peoples affairs as they have no life of there own.
i have not asked for his opinion on my decisions, only wether this chap is owed his deposit, maybe i should check out some of his started post and comment on his behaviour in the world, but i have a life so sadly this is the end guys, good day and goodnight!!!!

In effect it was more than £80 a month .


The electricity was already included in the £200 for the rent. The £80 was extra.
