Our daughter needed a lodger to help pay her mortgage . Her friend recommended someone who worked for her who needed a place to stay whilst looking for a house to buy . He has his own bedroom and shares the bathroom , kitchen, living room etc. He has been fairly unpleasant to live with from the start and she's had enough. There was no rental agreement or anything of that nature as he was " a friend of a friend " . It's actually cost her money because of changes to her insurance , council tax etc. She's charging £500 a month and I think he has a bargain as it includes all bills . He also uses things like washing powder , toilet rolls , coffee pods etc. He also helped himself to her parking permits !
Anyway.... she's told him it isn't working and would like him to move out. Initially she said if he couldn't find anywhere he could stay until the end of September ( mad woman ... too kind ). Today he has told her ..... not asked or discussed ...... that from now on he will be paying weekly until he finds somewhere " suitable ". .... £115 per week. What does she need to do to get rid of him and stay within the law? I think she is a bit frightened of him and he is arrogant and pompous and basically telling her what is going to happen in her own home . I am furious but want to give her good advice . Can anyone help please ?
