I have had a few issues with her including taking things from the fridge/freezer without asking but we've got through that.
She once didn't pay her rent and pleaded ignorance when I asked why not and asked to pay double the following month instead which I said no to.
She's been here just under 6 months.
I have two spare rooms, and she picked one which also has the unit in it housing the gas/electricity meetings. When she chose that room I said to her that she'd have to read the meters for me, or be okay with me doing it which obviously meant me going into her room. I am not very comfortable with that anyway, it should be her space, but anyway I did go into her room to read the meters while she was out, recently (I'd asked her to and she kept forgetting and eventually she said to me to go and do it myself she didn't mind).
Well for a start, her room is a TIP and this is coming from me who's naturally a messy person, but I'd never seen anything like that. Loads of empty beer cans (probably ones she's taken without asking as they're the same brand DP drinks!), food wrappers, takeaway boxes, cups, plates, rubbish generally. Ash tray-I've told her I don't mind her having one out of the window but it is right next to her bed-and It's not even an actual ash tray-It's one of ramekins. She has the same bedding on as when she moved in and I really don't think she's ever changed/washed it either, a used sanitary pad on the side.
Not really my business I guess? As long as she's not damaging the house but there were also several tiny, clear bags on her bedside unit. I picked one up and it looks to have had cocaine in it.
I am asking really two things 1)she's obviously going through some hard times. She doesn't speak to me about personal things, which is fine but would you approach her to ask if she needs to talk?
2) what are the implications for me, of her doing drugs in the house? As I've said I've served notice but if (for example) within the notice period I don't know, I had to call the police for some reason and they saw something like that? Unlikely I know but I'd just like to know. I am also selling this house soon hopefully and have had a valuaer booked for some time but they've postponed on me twice-what if they'd have seen something like that?
Should I be doing anything else with this situation other than telling her she needs to find somewhere else?
Strangely enough, on the surface she's a lovely friendly person and this is all quite shocking.
I've name-changed obviously.
