AIBU to say that this is my home and I’ll use my spare room however I want?

[Jujujuile]

I am a homeowner with two nice ensure spare rooms, that I like to make work for me when I haven’t got my family and friends staying.

Airbnb gives me that no commitment option, so I meet lovely people from around the world and make good money - when it suits me.

I’ve got a neighbour trying to get me to take her student neice for this year, and another wanting me to take her offspring who is splitting with her partner.

I don’t want fucking lodgers and the responsibilities that go with them. I do what I am supposed to, and have electrical safety certificate and gas safety certificates, and pay the appropriate council tax.

Today I’ve been called selfish and greedy by one of these neighbors who asked why I live in a four bedroomed house on my own. Answer is because I work hard, so I can.

AIBU?

Just say 'I don't live alone' they'll either think you are crazy and not want to push the lodgers bit or drive themselves mad trying to work out who else lives there

Your home. Your business.

Bad agnurse would say to them, "So if you move into a larger home, does that mean I get to dictate how YOU use YOUR spare rooms? Maybe I'll get you to take in my grandmother who has Alzheimer's and my brother and SIL who have a 20-month-old and are expecting a new baby."
