So my next door neighbour has gone abroad to work for a year and has rented out her house. We're in a row of terraces, little gardens in the back. I'm friends with neighbour and neighbour's mother, who comes around to say hi once in a while (and also keep an eye on the rented house, I'm sure). Neighbour's mother is sorting out the renting.
Anyway, new renters moved in a couple of weeks ago, a mother and teenage daughter, seem really nice. We've already had a few chats, very friendly. Renter lady has a boyfriend who comes to stay on weekends. He's been sprucing up the garden.
Today while I was at work the boyfriend came round and was evidently asking my husband for advice on how to locate the stopcock, because boyfriend wanted to install an outside tap for the garden. My husband helped him out, even shut off our stopcock for him to see if they were linked.
My husband and I both thought it was weird. Why not ask the landlord?
Surely this visiting dude is not installing an outside tap without permission?!
Would you mention it to the landlord (neighbour's mother)?
