Throwing out rude flatmates guest

wattc

I live in a shared property with a few other people.

One of my flatmates has a very rude friend who comes to the house to visit. This guy is very rude to me - ignores me, gives me dirty looks etc. They sit in the kitchen all night and I avoid the kitchen to avoid any trouble with them.

But I pay rent and I don't know why I should have to put up with this guy when he doesn't even live here!

If he is rude to me, do I have any legal right to throw him out of the house? I'm sure my flatmate will say he is a tenant and I can't throw out his guest, but there must be something I can do so I don't have to be treated like an unwanted guest when I actually pay a lot of rent to be here.

Is your name on the rent book, and you collect the rent from your ex friend, then get a locksmith.

Why does this guest ignore you and give you dirty looks? Presumably if he ignores you, you have engaged in initial conversation(s) with him previously.. What was said?

No, we all rent from a letting agency. If I owned the place, I'd show them all the door.

As I'm one of a few tenants, I just wonder if I can throw out/ask a rude guest (a friend of one of the other tenants) to leave if they are rude or unpleasant to me?

The other tenant had this friend staying in his room, without asking the other tenants or informing the letting agency. I told the letting agency, they were quite decent and moved the "friend" to a new property. But both my flatmate and his friend hate me for spoiling their plan of this guy freeloading in the house! He was here for 5 weeks and didn't pay any rent, he should be grateful! But now, both of them are horrible to me. I shouldn't have to put up with this from someone who doesn't even pay rent here.

Do a swap with him and let your flat mate have his rude friend full time?

Moving out to please some free-loaders? No, I'm not going to do that.

Move out to have a better life for yourself. Don't get into thinking you can't let them win. Life's too short, and it's not going to be a fight you can win, but will just get you down. Move on and have an easier life.

Daft question, but have you spoken to your flatmate about it yet?

How is this guy with your other flatmates, ia it just you he seems to have it in for. If all the tenants get together perhaps more could be done.

Sorry but No you cannot order a guest of another tenant to leave, if tenants are allowed guests that is. Its not a nice situation you find yourself in but, and I mean no offence but am wondering if perhaps you have not brought this on yourself a bit.


Did you have a word with the tenant before informing the letting Agency. The fact that he had a guest staying in his room would not have affected other tenants much, he pays the rent per room not person.


If you are on shared bills then it would make a small difference showers, washing etc. but a request for a contribution to this would have been a step in the right direction


What do the other tenants think of them sitting in the kitchen all night,
personally as you say he ignores you I would just ignore him back and use the kitchen as you are entitled to do.


Good luck I hope you manage to sort things out.
