to think he might not go for this

[oregon1985]

Hello
I wrote before about my creepy landlord who locked me in the house.
It hasn't happened since but I have been staying out of the house as much as I possibly can while I look for a new place.
And I found one! The only issue is is that it not available until Saturday and my next lot of rent is due tomorrow and I don't have enough money to put a deposit down for this new place and pay this month's rent. I was thinking of saying to him if I can stay till Saturday then he can keep my deposit (I am that desperate to leave I honestly don't mind losing the money) in my tenancy thing is says I have to stay for 16 weeks and give 4 weeks notice but I didn't sign an agreement, he just emailed it to me and I said 'ok' in reply.

He's not going to go for the keeping thr deposit thing is he? But living here is making me on edge and unhappy. The other day he stood outside the bathroom while I had a shower...just waiting there. He really creeps me out.

so he is going to pay you back what he owes you? I do not understand why you won't seek advice. It would be quicker than posting here or sitting worrying for hours about this fruitlessly.

I'm not worrying about it now. And honestly because I can't be bothered with the fuss. He's using the money as the last months rent. Honestly I've had a really rough few months and things finally seem to be going right, I got a really good job (better paid than the one I lost) and I found a place that isn't with a creep landlord and I'm finally starting to make friends after feeling really alone for months. It's honestly worth losing a bit of money to feel happy and content with where I am.

Well done OP glad you seem to have sorted it.
