I've let rooms before in the past without any problems. However I feel that this lodger is pushing my boundaries badly and hasn't been here long. Would you put her on a warning for eviction for the following?
- Repeatedly not locking the front door when leaving for work. She works afternoon to evening and I leave at 6am, so often the house is unlocked for hours before I come home.
- Repeatedly leaving the heating on at 22 degrees or more and going out to work. Therefore wasting resources and costing me a lot of money.
- I am vegan and she is now cooking meat in my pots/pans, despite my discussing why that was not allowed before she moved in. She has her own cookware, she just seems to prefer my expensive stuff.
- Having her boyfriend stay every Thurs/Fri to Sun/Mon. He contributes nothing to the household, takes long hot showers, doesn't clean at all and let one of my indoor only cats get out when he left the bathroom window open. Luckily I caught the cat I the garden, but he didn't apologise.
- Loud sex with said boyfriend, after 11am, when I am working from home.
So would you evict her? I have tried to speak to her about these and other issues and all I get is moaning and excuses. Whinging like a child when she's in her 20s.
