I'm looking to rent my spare room out. I gave potential housemates two options:
Option 1: mon-fri for a reduced rate
Option 2: full time for the cost of option 1+£150.
Option 2 is market rate. Option 1 is a bit cheaper because I'd prefer a mon-fri tenant.
So I had someone view the room and say they were away at least every other weekend and could that be taken into account. I said I'd come up with some figures for pro-rata weekends and get back to him.
Then he texts me saying that when he's away for the weekend it costs him at least £20 in travel and he'd like that taken into account when I calculate pro-rata costs.
I've said no, he says he's still intetested regardless. But, now I'm thinking that he's maybe a piss taker and every little thing will be a struggle and do I need that in my life. But, the tenancy would only be for 3 months and I do like money.
So AIBU to think this isn't worth it and hold out for another housemate?

To think this is going to be more trouble than it's worth?
