To think this is quite mean?

flatmate essentially moved boyfriend into out shared house (just 2 of us), he stays here most nights, watches tv a lot here on his own (sometimes I come into the house and he's just here!) and doesn't contribute to bills/food/rent. So I am basically subsiding him.

I have just looked in bathroom and she has bulk bought 50 toilet rolls and hidden them underneath her toiletries basket. Obviously so I wont ask to use/borrow them.

Aib to think this is pretty mean? I dont want the sodding toilet rolls but why go to such great lengths to hide them? Especially in light of everything?!

Hi Op,

Do you want to swap flatmates?! I've one who refuses to buy toilet paper lol

Bathroom toilet roll thing is weird but if you have two bathrooms why are you even in there, do you use both?

Another one saying check your tenancy, is it ok to sub-let? If it is ok and you are happy for them both to live there you need to work out a fair contribution for rent, utilities etc. Maybe a loo roll and cleaning products fund might also be an idea.

I assume you have a bathroom each, then, so why on earth were you cleaning her bathroom?

You need to sit her down and have a long chat with her. He shouldn't be in your house while she's not there. He shouldn't be staying more than a certain number of nights.

When you say it's your flat, do you mean you have the right to boot her out? I would remind her of that. If you get some new, specify that guests are only allowed one night a week or something.

Sharing is horrible.

it's my flat!!!!!! I found it and signed the agreement

so why have YOU allowed your housemate to move in a randomer without having the courtesy of discussing it with you? Why are you condoning their blatantly rude and piss taking behaviour?

NOBODY would be stealthily moving into MY home! i've experienced piss takers like this in the past and i have no issue with being downright blunt with them.
on each occasion the girls involved gave me the 'oh he hasn't moved in, he's just hanging out with me' excuse. My reply - 'i don't care. he still needs to pay towards the utilities/food/stuff that he's using, either he pays or you pay for him'. And i only paid one third from thereon in until the situation was sorted.

once you make it clear that YOU have the right to veto him moving in on 'subletting' grounds, or when you TELL them that they will be paying two thirds of all costs going forward - you might be surprised at how quickly they manage to hang out at his place.

why is he sat in your house when she isn't there? i would be putting a stop to that right now....and take the spare key off him that i bet she's given him.

stop being a mug and risking your own tenancy and deposit for this bunch of twats.

If you have a bathroom each I don't see a problem with her just buying toilet roll for herself. Why were you even cleaning it if you don't use it.

Are you allowed to sub let? If so I would talk to her and ask for more of a contribution. I have had housemates move in boyfriends and it is annoying. If you're illegally subletting then you could just ask her to leave as she won't have a proper contract- you'll probably be screwed if she refuses to go though.
