Not sure anything can be done and this will probably be more of a rant but any advice most welcome. DD in 30s has been sharing a house basically with a lodger's license agreement. The owners live in big farmhouse next door. This house she lives in is let to someone who lives in a different country and has spent 1 week there in the 2 1/2 years my DD has lived there. There is one other lodger. This other lodger moved in about 10 months ago and has basically been bullying my DD, shouts at her regularly and slams doors. She complains if she can hear her. She was listening to a podcast in the kitchen on Sunday and she comes down from her bedroom shouting and screaming that she could hear it, just speech on a radio not loud music. She spends her whole time in her bedroom, just coming to the kitchen for food and taking it back upstairs. They have a lovely lounge diner looking out onto lovely grounds. This girl is in her room 24/7 apart from a couple of times a week going to take some lectures but they are often on zoom at home. She has no friends coming to the house. She expects my DD to let her know ,ask if it's ok to have a friend round. Obviously with Covid this has barely happened and has been probably half a dozen times which includes us. She even had a go at her after we dropped her off after a family funeral and went in to use the toilet shouting that she had to sanitize everything. She knew we'd been to a funeral. Anyway she is totally unreasonable verbally abusing her on a regular basis also shouting on the phone to her mother regularly. She happens to be from the same country as the main tenant and has been regularly making up stories and phoning her to complain about my DD . My daughter thinks this is ridiculous, you don't complain about petty things to your landlord. So now after my DD has looked after the house always paid all the bills settled into the community joining village groups etc. She has now been told she has to leave.
She is so upset, it is in a lovely expensive area and as a single person she can't afford to buy or even rent on her own
We think they are breaking the law by having lodgers when it's not main residence and no deposit in one of those secured places. We do not want to let them get away with it lightly. Before anyone says she's an adult, why am I getting involved, she is single and turned to us in tears tonight.
