Anyway, update, with a few hints from the forum I've spoken to him to see what he thinks.
The reality is that he's currently living in a shared house with no living room at all, a small kitchen, one bathroom, a smaller bedroom and five occupants (four officially, one almost permanent 'extra'), and also paying a lot more than I'm asking. So he's moving in, soon!
Also, apparently, he only cooks about once a week anyway, wakes up after 9. So mainly I was worrying about nothing. He does want to have lots of friends round in the day, but I'm out, so makes no difference, and eats really late (like 11?! ). He also wants showers after 11, I said fine, not exactly a breaking point for now, but we'll talk about it if it wakes me up (the pump is being replaced in a few months, so it's a short term problem). All in all, it'll work out fine.

Are the friends allowed in the living room/kitchen during the day then? I thought one of your rules was that they couldn't go there at all, and no more than 2 at a time?
Glad you're relented, but are your really going to be happy? I'm not sure you are, and would hate to see you on here in a few weeks asking how to get rid of your lodger because it isn't working out....
