    Has she told the landlord they're not paying the bills?

    If I was her i'd play my music loud, have noisy sex whilst they're trying to sleep and have long hot baths so there's no hot water left for them to use. Do the witches use roll on deoderants? *cough* Wee in them. I did this to a (now ex) boyfriend and had a smug, satisfied grin every morning until he moved out! :rotfl: Scratch your bum with their toothbrushes and put mayonnaise in their face creams. When you think about it, there's plenty of thier belongings i'm sure you could wee in.

    Or she could just move out and pay the money, but I reckon my way's much more fun!!! :j

    Oh dear oh dear.... does somebody have issues?

    What goes around comes around.

    What will your advice be if the others find out and trash her stereo/break her laptop/beat her up?:confused:

    well thanks for all your replies, all really good so thanks!

    Set up a profile on easyroom mate.

    Got a reply off Gumtree.

    The little *itches dont want a stranger moving in . . . tough 5h1t !

    thanks again all


    Good on her!

    Make sure she smiles "oh so sweetly" at them as she moves out and tells them their new "lodger" is moving in next week with his pet lizard.
  • Hey everyone, I'm kind of in a similar situation, flatmates being disruptive, not paying bills, etc. I'm renting from an estate agent so I've come to accept the fact that if I don't find someone else when I move out, I have to keep paying. What's more, the bills are all in my name so to close my utility accounts I have to settle the outstanding balances. I really don't know what to do, I'm going to have a chat with the Citizens Advice Bureau and with a similar service at my University, but that's not till Monday and I could use some advice from someone who's been in that situation. Thanks.
  • With regards to the original question, I'm just wondering if the 3 witches want your girl friend to move out so that they can move someone in?

    What a nightmare for your OH.

    Do her roomies know she wants to move out? If not it may be an idea that she tells them and says that if they know someone who'll take her place that would be great, if not she'll find someone who'll fit right in.

    If they're being nasty to her that may be enough to spur them on to find someone taking some of the hard work out of it. Give them a deadline to find someone as well.

    I'
    m just wondering if the 3 witches want your girl friend to move out so that they can move someone in?

    No shes told them shes moving out and they have said fine, shes asked if they have anyone to move in and they dont.


    Found quite a few people looking to move in off the websites mentioned so hopefully all will be sorted

    Cheers

    Phone up the utility companies and put all the students names on the bills and tell the companies that each student is responsible for their equal share of the bill. ie 3 students are responsible for one third of the bill each. Then follow this up with a letter or email, to confirm. In my son's student house, they had all six student names on the bills.
    RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.
    Read the sticky on the House Buying, Renting & Selling board.

    But how would they know who'd paid what

    Issues? Well seeing as the ex is question got charged with 4 counts of assault and one case of battery against me, I think wee'ing in his deoderant was quite mild! So yes, I guess I did have "issues"!

    I wouldn't for one minute think the ops gf take my advice and urinate everywhere, however would hope it would make her smile just to think about it. How about searching the freebies board for a "sense of humour"? They're sometimes given away with packs of "lighten up".
    My mind not only wanders .......... sometimes it leaves completely
