Does anyone else?
Ive just gotta get out of this situation! I move from one to another and have totally had enough of them not long after i move in. But living in a city and not having a partner, it is getting increasingly hard to get your own place without moving into a lonely man bedsit lol!

There always something that you do to annoy someone or something they annoy you with! This time around i stupidly moved into a shared house with the landlady and co owner living here, what a nightmare! Both retired, and both go to bed at 11pm and expect you to tip toe around the place and not to flush the chain after 11pm, no freezer to store your food, no aerial for me in my bedroom so i can watch tv, and the only other two people who they manage to keep on in here even though there is five rooms are one ill guy with arthuritis who never comes out of his room, and another guy who they treat like their son!

I cant do ANYTHING without annoying them, and she even leaves notes on the doors saying "please do not slam"!! and list of rules left in your room! Places like this should be banned!
And anyway, i thought landlords had to have an offical contract on shared properties now? Maybe she can get done for lack of facilities or something? Well at least i only have to give 1 months notice, phew!
From a very disgruntled tenant!

I remember there was an alternative to the bedsit up until the early 1980s. It was the cheap hotel. It cost about the same amount as a bedsit but you got a room of your own. The rooms were very small and very basic. The now defunct London Park Hotel at Elephant and Castle was among the last of such places. It was the pile them high sell them cheap idea, hundreds of small basic rooms in one building for a low rent.

By the way it can be reasonably cheap to rent a mobile home on a private park estate which consists of static caravans. A mate of mine live in one of these park estate homes back in the late eighties and inside it was quite nice, not as big as a flat but still nice.

Much better, at least you pay for the mobile home, no one uses them as squats! Mind, the walls have an uncanny way of moving in the wind - unnerving "Did the earth move for you" "No its just windy outside" "Oh."

Whats wrong with squatting by the way? The only problem is having to move every few months when they get evicted plus having to share with loads of other people inorder to hold onto them, which brings us back to the problem of shared houses. By the way think how much money unemployed people living in squats save the government in housing benefit payments. If a thousand unemployed people are living in squats then that is something like 60,000 pounds a week they are saving the government and the tax payer.

Most squatters do not cause any damage to the premises they squat. Long term squatter often try to keep their buildings in good repair.

A few thousand pounds doesn't go very far these days. By the way if property prices were not so very high and if property to rent and buy was not in such short supply there would be far less need for people to squat.
