PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

As pretty much everyone has said, it’s a massive lesson for me & it’s ended up costing me a lot (locks were changed on Sunday night). I’ll definitely not be taking in anyone, anytime soon!
Thanks for posting; at least it will save others from the same sort of situation. Hope things are resolved for you.0 -

Surely that's more effort?!
Unless it's a dormer type house with access to the loft space off the bedrooms. Ours is, and it's tempting to shove anything that doesn't have a home "behind the scenes" as we call it. Not perishable rubbish though! :eek:

No, of course you should not swing for someone else's misdeeds. I have been misquoted. The bit in bold was posted by snilloct1957; the bit above was mine.0
