Lodger agreement reasonable?

Tbh I think I'd rather live in a cardboard box than suffer under those kind of rules with a Dictator style landlord.

If I gave my lodger/housemate those kind of rules I'd hope she would !!!!!slap the sense back into me before chucking them in the bin and then having a good laugh with me over a bottle of wine in our shared lounge after 9pm before putting on a load of laundry and having a 30 minute long shower while playing music...

Instead of crazy strict !!! rules we do that kind of weird thing called "talking". She knows when I need the bathroom/shower for my regular job and I understand she's a student and part time night worker so gets in at funny hours and may want to have a shower at 4am. We oddly do that thing called "compromise" on occasion. Funnily enough it works out quite well.

If you're going to have such rules then at least send them to the prospective lodger beforehand so that they can decide not to come. Don't just give them to them on arrival.

Though do be aware a normal operson would think you are being over the top and that they could push your overbearing rules a lot.

How much rent do you propose to charge for this totalitarian regime ???

or is the sweetner that you will be paying them.....


Your proposing to have an adult I assume,someone who has been bought up in a boarding school dorm.

good luck with getting those rules past anyone.



One question that always comes up with lodgers though is who supplies the toilet roll?

no mention in your list so at least that's a partial result for the incoming lodger.

Would be like living with your parents with those rules

My 86 year old mother in law had a 24 year old lodger. They worked out what worked for both of them, equally, as equal people, and it worked perfectly well.

Do you really think your
Lodger would have any quality of life?

Oh and if you want someone with a job, most of these times won't fit. I regularly do long hours and have a shower before bed, often after 11.

Fair enough, send the rules through to person with cost of rent and let them decide whether to accept. I wouldn't but they might. Be warned though, students (as I have been several times) will agree to many things then say f*** you when you try to impose a prison lifestyle on them

Only 20 mins between 7-9 in the shower room, why do you need the other 1:40 if 20 mins is enough for anyone?

Something that suggest that some flexibility/agreement on the morning schedule should suffice.
Same for coming home after work and wanting a quicky(shower) before going out a bit of warning/planning to avoid conflict is all that is needed

yOu are assuming everybody lives a you do.

Only allowed one shower a day?

My student son had a shower when he came home, a shower before going out if he was going out for the evening and a shower before bed.

He caught the bus at 8am so was in the shower before 7am.

He did however spend his evenings in his bedroom, working on Uni work or with his friends. Many times there was wall to wall boys in a small single bedroom.

He had his evening meal about 6pm but that was followed by a supper at 9pm. Not everybody doesn't eat after 7.30pm
