Absolutely agree with most sentiments on this thread.

As a Landlady I would have no problem letting out a property to an individual only to have them populate it with anything up to 50 people on a temporary basis, sharing but not contributing towards the facilities paid for by my tennants in legal occupation.

Well it`s only fair isn`t it.

Sounds good to me Annie,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, can I have your latest property list,,,,,,,,,;)

OK, so assuming you're not a troll:



the landlord's behaviour could be unreasonable, and not unfixable - for the money involved your gf is NOT going to be on the street if the only option is to move out. Thus your gf's behaviour is also unreasonable, and putting you in an unfair position. And you're, to cap it all off, supporting this, for which you have no-one to blame but yourself. Take some responsibility.

Your gf isn't going to change her 'poor me' behaviour so easily from the sound of things, she may deep down have some emotional need to feel pushed around. Maybe you do too, which is why you've stuck with it, saving a wounded puppy, you deep down have an emotional need for this drama and so does your gf, otherwise the relationship might be less exciting.

It also strikes me that you may have both been evasive with the other flatmates and the landlady, going on for quite some time of a year or whatever, so landlady and flatmates' behaviour may be a response to your own. Maybe they are just at the end of their tether with you and you, like your girlfriend, are having such a hard time squaring your delusional fantasy 'poor me' behaviour with reality knocking on the door. Paying the money MAY be a short-term solution, but I would suggest you both look at your personal behaviour as other similar problems will stem from it if you continue to hanker after victimhood and leave communication until it's too late. And no touchy feely thanks replies please, it only confirms your victim status. Stand on your own two feet.

im being stupid but whats meant by a troll? dont laugh!

A troll is a forum poster who posts with the intent to wind up other forum readers. Often just posting spiteful condradictory comments to upset others.

However sometimes people are labeled as a troll simply for having the opposite point of view - so be careful. There is a difference. Head over to a site like housepricecrash.com and you will see anyone who doesnt believe in a crash be labeled a troll. This is not really fair, holding an opposite view if thats what you really belive is fine.

The problem is that this site, and others, have endured a spate of people registering and making house related threads that are designed to give the impression that buying a house is a bad thing. This has made people cynical and untrusting. They probably have some vested interest, perhaps a bitter FTB or something?

Its a shame really. I dont know what to make of the OP either, im afraid we should all take any new poster with a pinch of salt and indeed maybe any poster. The above story doesnt quite add up, the "girlfriend" should just move out - note the lengthy explanation as to why this is impossible. Seems odd.


Anyway, its an intersting discussion nonethless. When I shared a house one of the girls boyfriends stayed over 3-4 nights a week. And it was bloomin annoying. Yep we were unfriendly to him. We didnt want him there. Take the hint lol!! But it could so easily go the other way, had he turned up, given the place a bit of a clean, stocked up the fridge, dropped off some beers, brought round his Playstation, etc - we'd prob have been cool with it. I think people just naturally dont like those who take take take and dont see anything wrong with it either...!

thanks for that

Just to add - if I was a genuine troll then I'd have posted many more articles and wasted more people's time than having posted just this one issue in the past four months.

This is a genuine issue which we are facing, and I am somewhat disappointed with the outcome - but then that's what my girlfriend chose to do.

Everyone has to have a first post at some point, you can't automatically assume that if someone hasn't posted before then they're just logging in with a different name in order to abuse the system and detract people from the true issues encountered by so many people on this forum.

Finally, I've been watching so many things on here over the past months, it's been very useful - and educational. That's one of the main reasons why I put this post on here, to ask for the advice of the people on here.

The only two things I resent now are the way that my gf has ignored what so many people have said, and having been labelled as a troll!

Now all we have to do is to work out what my gf and I do with our relationship, as if she refuses to work with me and listen to me and accept my help, then it's never going to be an easy relationship. But, this is a financial board not an emotional counselling board, so I don't want to ask for any assistance. I've done much thinking, and talking, and I think we'll just have to see what the two of us decide.

Thanks once again for the comments from everyone.

If I were you, I'd tell my gf and the landlady to shove their money up their a*se and seek pastures new.
Find yourself a decent home and a decent girl.

good luck

Excellent wind-up from the op; 4 pages and 60+ replies.

Just on the off chance that this story is true I can confidently predict that your girlfriend will dump you once you've been mug enough to pay off the ll's ludicrous demands.

And do you know what?

You and your girlfriend deserve the screwing you're going to take just for being gullible fools...unless we're all the gullible fools.

Tell the landlord and your gf that you are not paying, and they can go **** themselves.

If she does not stand by you on this, then she is not for you and then its time for you two to part. I guess its time for you & her to grow some balls and stand up to people like this.

I believe that if they are living in a house that all the bills are paid then yes maybe a contribution to water rates, electricity, but as a couple you will share a light, share a night in with the tv on. Cooking for one more person uses roughly the same as cooking for one, the water consumption would be a little more though.

You should be paying council tax at your parents, so you wont need to pay it whilst at hers..

I would think about maybe £20 a month or something towards electric & water (if they on a meter).

I wrote out a long reply and the net decided to die, so that I couldn't send it. I won't write it out again because I can't be bothered.

All I want to say is that I'm disappointed at how many people think that this is a fake story created by someone for effect. Sometimes, real people in real issues need real assistance - not criticism. Remember this, next time you have an issue and ask someone for assistance...
