We have a new lodger, male aged 24, very nice and easy to get along with, great with kids etc.
He's been here just 12 days and last night I was just going to bed (in my nightie at 10.45pm) and was slightly alarmed to be confronted on the landing my new lodger and three friends, all worse for wear, returning from a pub, creeping up to his room (which is directly above our bedroom).
To be fair his friends did try very hard to be quiet but come midnight all I could hear was feet above me, doors opening and shutting and the lodgers little gang trooping up and down the stairs to have a smoke in the front garden (plus front door banging shut several times)
AIBU to be a bit taken aback?
Previous lodgers have of course had friend's over, but no sozzled groups late at night ....
I told him this morning that it kept me awake and woke up DS1 as well and he's apologised and said he won't invite people back again lateat night. The group were the four managers from his workplace and they were all a bit drunk.
I don't think there will be a repeat but I am just wondering, AIBU - after all its his home too?
The only groundrules I have set is:
Rent on time
No smoking in the house
No outdoor shoes on in the house
Quiet consideraion late at night
To their credit they did go outside to smoke, but I noticed they did all keep their muddy shoes on (which explains the noise too)
Views very welcome - thanks
