    Applicant number 3:

    More mature man who works away for long periods of time (around 8 weeks) but needs somewhere to live in between. We haven't talked money yet, but he's said "he hopes the rent will consider his absences"... :confused:

    hmmm

    Applicant 1 - doesn't sound promising for soooo many reasons, I'd be very wary - you could end up with a major problem here.

    Applicant 2 - sounds promising - be interested to hear your reaction when you actually meet him though. Dare I say he actually sounds normal...:D

    Applicant 3 - okay, so he's absent for periods of time but as far as rent reduction goes...tough - sounds like he'd be better off in a B&B and put his stuff in storage if that's the way he thinks.

    Look forward to hearing more....:rotfl:

    So why does he want to live with you and not nearer to work? What's the attraction of your location that he can't get nearer to work?

    Maybe he's a fan of the thread - Badger Lady does have quite a fan club.

    Applicant No 3 - I'd personally avoid as who's to say he only ends up at yours a few days a month and whats the point in advertising for a full-time lodger to get someone who's hardly there (unless they still paying the full rate).

    Applicant No 2 sounds best so far - and us Scottish people are great :D

    Thats ok, I said we were great, not that we were free with our cash :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Anyway Badger Lady can always hold Applicant 2's bagpipes and haggis to ransom if he does not pay on time :D
