    Personally I wouldnt let him back in, and pay someone to pack and move his shlte downstairs (paid out of the deposit) ready for him on weds

    If he does come round on Wednesday he'll find his key doesn't work. I've already booked tomorrow off so I can always clear his room out for my own uses.

    Unfortunately he hasn't paid the last week's rent (which is always a risk) so there's no deposit forthcoming.

    Not the best of business plans, I'll agree!

    Hmm... it's been such a long time since I've needed them, I've actually forgotten where the spare keys are :(

    BigGuns clearly left his bedroom window open when he disappeared last week, and now the winds are up! Poor Joanna has had to stuff towels round the door just to stop it banging, but it's still making a helluva whistle :eek:

    And what if it rips the window off?

    He has also left your house insecure meaning if a burglar climbed in that way your insurance wouldn't pay out.

    Would that be so he still has a means of entry after the locks are changed? ;)

    I'd love to see him climb in through the 3rd floor at the top of a hill :rotfl: No really, I would.

    Regardless of the legalities re any potential insurance issues, can you imagine the heat that's draining out of the house just because this window is open?

    I'm afraid I woud have gained entry to his room the minute I knew the window was open and he wasn't returning any time soon to close it. Or I would have texted him to come back and attend to it himself. Either way I would not have left it.

    Hope all goes smoothly re his stuff and lock change BL.
