Owning your own home

I did that first, they kept sending the letters, I called them- stopped. YMMV.

i have a bit of a quandary and am wondering if anyone can help.

I own my own home, and live there with my gf. about six months ago we invited a friend to come live with us. to cut a long story short we are now very unhappy with the living situation and want to return to just the two of us. there is no contract and no formal agreement, is one month reasonable notice?

1 month is more than enough, I kicked mine out in a week...

I htink this depends on how important your friendship is and how much do yo still want to keep you friend after you have kicked him out.

Sounds very reasonable, it sucks when there's an atmosphere especially in your own gaff. If they're any sort of friend they'll try to leave ASAP. Good luck.

It's a horrible conversation that one of you needs to have. My wife did it. The dude was one of my old school friends, but he was still with us after nine months.

Burn all his stuff except his vintage porn.

Thanks everyone, it's going to suck but has to be done. Tonight is the night. Will let you know how it goes!!

Were completing on the 20th. Very excited. So much bike storage space.

Kick the missus out, simples.

Nah! I'd still be left with a housemate i don't like!

Kick em both out

Take your things and leave, maybe without you they will find a way to get along.

He took it remarkably well, moving out in a month - or possibly end of july.

phew!

My wife's cousin was offered a temporary place to stay with us. That lasted 9 years.

We get on lots better now that she lives elsewhere.

I think one of the main issues my partner and I have had with sharing our home is that we grafted so hard on our house. We will never be able to share our home or comprise to the needs of a lodger or sharer, we just can't do it.

We definitely wont be asking anyone else to move in, the slight monetary gain is not even close to compensation for the compromise we had to make on our life and home. glad to be moving on.

Legally then I guess they are a lodger and yes you can boot em out with very little notice at all.

technically he is a lodger but i also want to keep it amicable and keep our friendship as much in tact as possible, i also share a studio with him which is another factor in why things got so tense.

I never wanted to just 'boot him out' but rather wanted to know what other people's views on 'reasonable' notice are.. anyway, done now. cheers jt

My then girlfriend (later wife) invited one of her workmates to live with us after our previous mate left. The little fat fuck then proceeded to take advantage of my naive and vulnerable girlfriend and try and get her into his bed rather than mine. Rather than smash his fucking face in I introduced him to a Canadian girl who got together with him, and he emigrated to Canada with her and they set up home thousands of miles away. It was then that I told her of his previous behaviour and how he had been shagging his ex while they were going out together.

No amount of fucking up some philandering disloyal annoying cunt's life is too much.

So basically instead of punish him you punish her and wait for her to punish him?

Fraid so. Or I did her a favour before it was too late. Revenge is a dish best served cold.
To be fair I may have introduced him to her before I found out that he'd been trying to shag my girlfriend.

^ brutal!

I think I like you a little bit more
