He keeps a room downstairs for himself, and comes & goes at all hours, for no obvious reason (the room's near-empty). I was having tea the other night around 1am and he emerged from his room to go to the loo. Wtf. He keeps another room empty "for storage". We're not allowed anyone to stay over "because it's actually the law, you know", and he just knocked on my door to tell me that someone left the grill pan dirty last night and it was left like that all night and oh noes we might get ants. He didn't want a deposit, I haven't signed a contract, yet he just kicked someone out after extensive detective work revealed she'd faked a reference. He's currently hoovering outside my room so I can't go out. What's going on?

From the Archive - Glastonbury: three DiSsers, some booze and hella mud...
yes, because going to the toilet at 1am is odd
and much odder than having tea at that time
I want to imagine it was tea in the old English sense
and there were plates of scones and cucumber sandwiches involved.
I work funny shifts at the mo
So 1am is teatime :)
whats going on???
he's a cunt, thats whats going on
move your stuff out and burn the house down
But try not to get the order confused...
suspicious
I hope hes not keeing family members there
ermmm....
...youi dont think the room is entrance to a secret dungeon do you?
^ this
call the police.
he does sound odd.
if you don't like it, move out
I agree
also, check for hidden cameras. Who knows what equipment he keeps in these 'near-empty' rooms!
This HAD occurred to me
:(
:(
is he a registered landlord?
if so check the history of past tenents. You can never tell these days
if not
id be worried
God knows.
But on the plus side it's cheap & in a nice area, so I'll probs just stay til he tries to kill me in the night, then I'll leave, innit.
you shouldn't have moved in without a contract.
you should ask him to draw one up asap.
does he live in the house with you? or just come and use this random room?
landlords aren't usually allowed to come and go as they will.
He just comes & goes
Though most of his post seems to be delivered here.
Also: he knocked on my door to tell me what day the binmen come, even though we just leave the bins in the yard anyway. Thanks John!
Also: a certain someone stayed over the other night, and he was lurking in the yard when we were sneaking out so we were all oh yeah thanks for popping over sorry I could only be here for an hour... I went to the shop, and when I returned my unlocked door had mysteriously locked itself... Hm.
right...
your landlord has to, by law give you 24 hours notice if he wants to come round. at your convenience.
it can't be against the law to have visitors. he's full of shit.
seriously, demand that he draw up a contract. you need something set down. otherwise he could fuck you over and/or accuse you of things and you wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
Sarky is right
But he just sounds like a creepy motherfucker regardless, assuming he doesn't have wads of your cash for a deposit, I'd just find somewhere else to live.
As I say, he didn't seem to want a deposit
Nah, I'll just stay til summat outrageous happens, I'm hardly ever here anyway. The cheapness & handiness outweighs the weirdness at the mo...
unless he lives in the house
so if he is just a boarder / flatmate, those rights don't apply
how is it the law not
to have anyone stay over?
It's really not, is it?
:D
