I don't think I'm going to get any money anyway... previous experience tells me he only ever has money on PayDay (29th), and by being extremely fair it makes a Small Claim incredibly easy to win!Mortgage | £145,000Unsecured Debt | [strike]£7,000[/strike] £0 Lodgers | |0 -
NO! NO! NO!
That money needs to be paid to you in cash upon collection of his property. No cheques, no postal-orders, nothing else.
I would make no mention of proceedings at this time.0 -

I agree!! Cash only when he comes to collect the rest of his belongings.“You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.”0 -
It really won't happen though! He's a manchild remember? So always skint. And I can't legally hold onto his posessions in leiu of payment, so it doesn't work anyway.~Chameleon~ wrote: »I agree!!

Eh, but he may not know that. In any case, rent-due is rent-due and only an idiot, or a very naive and kind-hearted person would let him leave the property with all his belongings without settling up.
You know and we all know that he hasn't got a bean, so you won't get it but the point will have been made.
I don't want to rub salt in the wounds but you've let him owe you rent from the first day he moved in AND NO DEPOSIT. This set the tone for his occupation in your home from the off.
Crikey O'Reilly: you let him move in upon payment of only FORTY QUID?0 -
She needs shot of his stuff asap and to move on. No point holding it to ransom and taking up space.
On the storage charge was it made clear when he was leaving that this would happen if he didnt take all his stuff?0 -
It's worse than that BaT - don't know if you remember but he decided to 'move in' some two-and-a-half weeks after collecting the keys! So technically I should have been charging for that period too.
He has at least been more reliable than QuackersLodger ever was, but you're right in that he's got away with A LOT.Mortgage | £145,000Unsecured Debt | [strike]£7,000[/strike] £0 Lodgers | |0 -

No it wasn't and I've taken it out of the letter now. The three indisputable charges remain:
- Outstanding rent
- The hats I bought him
- Cheap replacement of carpetMortgage | £145,000Unsecured Debt | [strike]£7,000[/strike] £0 Lodgers | |0
