Lodger harassed by live-in landlady

DaftyDuck

Dressing gown, or clothes as well?

Frightening thought...

:rotfl:I've not "lost it all" completely yet Dafty.....everyone else thinks my figure is fine and no sagging belly.

It's just me apparently that knows it's a bit overweight still at the moment....

Leave the heater on when you move out.

:rotfl::rotfl:....and that's exactly the tactic I used when faced with a snooper before now.

I gather they were quite shocked to read the "appropriate" comments I had left just where they would see them if they snooped - but not if they didn't snoop:D. Well - they did ask for that....

or a house with all mod cons where the heat hits you in the face when they open the door to show you the room.

This aroused me. The hallways (not even the house hallway but the floor to the lift) in student dorms is like heaven, amazed homeless don't sneak in for the warmth

they did! The police were seriously disinterested. The college security guard said it was outside his job description, and as for what the cleaner said next morning upon discovering that "they" had not found the bathroom, well let us say that it was more colourful than the deposit to be cleaned up. Oh the joys of being a first year in halls.

Elephant ... a late reply from me!

I am a professional landlady ~ I've let 3 rooms continuously for 18 years and here is my take on this.

Your LL is stupid for not putting the gas CH on. It's the cheapest way to heat the house and keeps everyone happy.

As a lodger you have zero legal rights. You are nothing more than a house-guest. You are however entitled to old fashioned courtesy and consideration.

I NEVER enter a lodger's room except when I have to, for example to let a builder in to inspect, or for me to inspect, for the purposes of maintenance, or to let a prospective new lodger view after present lodger has given notice.

I was amused to read upthread of the LL who accidentally knocks over paperwork whilst cleaning. I never clean anyone's room - it's in the House Rules that they have to clean their own.

You WILL find another LL who is a nice, happy, reasonable person! We do exist!
