Big Badger House (aka Noisy Lodger) HE'S GONE!

All points are true and relevant but (with the starting basis that no monies will be received) I wouldn't give in writing any extra time. If you don't get any money but do decide to persue the debt (and given your imminent departure) you need to be able to go to small claims court asap.0

Well some progress is being made upstairs! I now have another 6 bin liners to add to the 8 under the stairs. And that's still not all the clothes.
Here's the 'before' picture:
I'm really getting some bizarre revelations doing this. Throughout the occupancy, this man has whinnied about how he doesn't have enough storage space for all his stuff - he asked me to buy that laundry hamper for his dirty clothes to try and help. He's had stuff all over my dining room, stuff over my living room chair and declined use of the loft. So as I'm clearing out, I discover:
- Two large fitted cupboards behind that wardrobe in the picture - both 100% empty
- The wardrobe itself 75% empty
- The underbed drawer 100% empty (with things stuffed up against it and around it)
I should point out that he moved the furniture into that arrangement - when he took the room, it was all turned around so that you could access every cupboard easily and walk all the way round the bed.
The slightly less surprising revelation came when I drew the curtains back and found my missing drinking glasses:Mortgage | £145,000Unsecured Debt | [strike]£7,000[/strike] £0 Lodgers | |0 -

OMG. Those glasses are gross.
If you're packing up his stuff then I'd find some big empty jars and empty the contents of that in.
Is that a foil wrapper on the bed?0 -

Ha! The sweets on the bed must either be his romance technique or emergency dog breath mints or both!0 -

There's no effing technical about it! You really have been much too soft and considerate from the very first moment you met him. He is not deserving of any of it. That much is patently clear.
He's a dirty, dirty little pig. I wouldn't want to risk my health getting involved with his belongings. I dread to think what filthy secrets you are about to uncover in there. Still, it'll give us something to think about when you disclose them. You will disclose them, won't you?
Please, please for you own sanity and financial security never, ever show any possible sign of weakness ever again. You're going away and you need to be certain that the house will still be standing when you get back.

The cleaner's coming round tomorrow morning... but actually 1 week without BigGuns and the house is really pretty clean. So I might ask him to help me with the bedroom for his 2 hours instead.Mortgage | £145,000Unsecured Debt | [strike]£7,000[/strike] £0 Lodgers | |0

He's had a girl in there. He's had a young girl in that filthy pig-stye. He has absolutely no shame whatsoever. And she cannot have any standards to speak of. It's quite sad, really.0

She has been being a grown up and will have been all dewy eyed and not seen the mess.0 -
That bedroom and the carp strewn about the whole house shows every single sign of a chaotic lifestyle that I can think of short of crack-pipes under the bed and burned bedclothes. A chaotic life-style very probably fuelled by drink. Or drink and drugs. The final warning from his work is a confirmation of that in my mind if I ever needed one0
