AIBU to tell my daughter to report a flatmate's mother?

[Boxingshibes]

Dd went to university a couple of weeks ago. She is setting in well and likes her flatmates.
Unfortunately there seems to be a problem with one of them. She is an international student and her mum came over to help settle her in, all fine.
BUT
The mum is still there, sleeping in the same room as the daughter.
The rest of them are getting increasingly annoyed as she's just there and as she doesn't speak any English it's difficult to ask what her plans are.
When dd moved in her contract said that she wasn't allowed any overnight guests to stay more than 2 consecutive nights.
Its been 2 weeks!
I've told them to go to student housing/ welfare and say something. Maybe they can do something?
Surely at the very least it's a safety issue if there was a fire or something as this woman isn't supposed to be there?
The rest of them dont want to get this girl and her mum into trouble but if the mums visa runs out surely that's worse?
I know I can't do anything but how do I get through to dd?

Who is she hurting? They should all butt out.

Well, if you read all the posts you'll know that she's had the temerity to shout at the other students and to interfere with their cooking by switching off the oven.

In any student digs or halls or other accommodation, the chances are high that there will be extra people there overnight on any given night. There could be more than twice the number of listed occupants, depending on the lifestyle of the students.

So very strange but I'm glad that they told her that her mother had to leave
I do wonder if the mother is at risk or something?

The old lady you describe paints a very sad image 😟 Yes, I imagine she’d hoped for a different way of life.

How did you find Moscow in the 1980s? I am in my early 30s, I was not born then

I doubt the mother is at risk of anything. It is more so likely she is concerned about what her daughter would get up to in a western country by herself.

What ever language toe mum speaks there will be a translation app on someone's phone. The house mates should go to her as a group and tell her they want her to leave. If she is still there next day they will complain to the halls manager and/or call the police. Police in other countries can be very scary and not like the officers here. Ive threatened people in various countries with calling the police and it usually has the desired effect.

Last time I was in Venice a beggar was following me. I indicated my phone and just called POLICE. He disappeared very sharpish.

It was very different from what I was used to. I loved Moscow and its people, but life was quite hard.

I was there the autumn after the Olympiad and a great deal of work had gone into putting on a good show...but there were shortages afterwards. We lived on bread, butter and kolbasa for the most part.

I was there for 5 months. My abiding memory is of the time I needed to have my boots mended. The cobbler I went to initially told me that he could fix them, but it would be a rough job. He gave me the name of another location where they had better equipment.

It was on the outskirts of the city in winter, so it was already dark and I got lost. I asked an old lady for directions. God bless her: she smiled at me, linked my arm and insisted on walking me to the cobbler's.

not like the officers here

😂 this is very true. I suggested calling the police earlier in the thread for this precise reason. In other countries they would remove you by the back of the neck without even checking the tenancy contract.

God bless her: she smiled at me, linked my arm and insisted on walking me to the cobbler's.

It is brave how you moved from a privileged country to Moscow as it were in the 1980s, assuming you are British. Thank you for that story, and also for proving that Russians do in fact, smile 😂😂
