How to get a housemate to move out?

    Help! I am a 21 year old woman and have been living in a 2 bed apartment for 5 months on my own and my landlords moved this 24 year old guy in with me. At first he seemed a bit arrogant but nice, and I showed him nice places to eat and go out etc and even helped him with college work.
    However that has all changed now and what was my home is now like a prison cell. He has party's 4 or 5am every week starting at 4pm, meaning I cannot even go in the sitting room to make dinner or use the Internet. They eat my food and drink and he has no respect for my belongings or towards me. He treats me like **** and has absolutely no common courtesy. One week when I had an exam the next day and needed time to study, I asked him politely not to have a session in ours several times and was completely fobbed off. The last straw was a potted flower someone bought me and he ripped it to shreds while him and his friends took illegal drugs. He is sexist and racist and just a complete dickhead.:mad:

    I have complained to my landlord and my housema:Dte was moving out of his own accord, however when he found out I wanted him out, he refused to go out of spite, so now I don't know what to do and my landlord says there isn't enough to force him to move out, even though if he does he can have a whole apartment to himself!!!
    Help! i need brilliantly evil ideas to make him hate being here and want to move out as soon as possible!!!

    Sleep with him


    Claim your pregnant



    he'll bail

    (or has to marry you...)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,109 ✭✭✭Cavehill Red


    Move yourself.
    Failing that, check your tenancy agreement to see if the landlord was entitled to foist a flatmate upon you.

    Can you speak to the Landlord about his behaviour? It's sounds really awful to have to put up with that. If the Landlord fails I'd get your Dad, Brother or Boyfriend to have have a serious word with him. Rough the fcuker up a bit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 513 ✭✭✭x_Ellie_x


    Hide raw fish around the sitting room and kitchen. Within a day the smell will be unbearable! Just keep note of where you put the fish so you can find it all when he moves out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 211 ✭✭Johnny D. Mudd


    A-HEM!!!

    You're welcome-o.:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92 ✭✭whatsthetime


    Go with the used tampons for a few day. If that does not work then next month leave a few pregnancy tests around the place and let him "over hear" you on the phone saying you think he is the father.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 513 ✭✭✭x_Ellie_x


    But seriously, if I was in that situation I'd be the one to move out. It would take too much time and effort to get him to move. I'd take photographs of the drugs and the parties as proof of the unbareable living situation and take notes of his abusive behaviour, I'd leave asap. Is there a friend you could go stay with until you find another place? Can you go back to your parents or another relative? Like Cavehill Red said check your tenancy agreement to see if he was allowed to force a roommate on you without your approval. You might be able to take your landlord to court to get some of your rent money back depending on the terms of the agreement (that's why I told you to get evidence above).

    1. Stop lying.

    2. If you're not lying then get somewhere else to live.

    3. If you're addicted to drama then welcome to the rest of your life.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,983 ✭✭✭✭tuxy


    If you didn't live with him you would defiantly fancy him. Sounds like the perfect alpha male

    talk to duggy747....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭Where To


    If your telling the truth then your problem is the landlord not the housemate.

    I'd be outa there asap.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,643 ✭✭✭Father Damo


    Two people advocating fake pregnancy? So if I ever want to ride a housemate I should forego trying to actually charm and banter them into the sack, instead spending all the time being annoying and off my tits?

    Sound :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 465 ✭✭Rigol


    Your best bet in this instance is manipulation of the landlord.
    As you are female manipulation should come quite natural.

    Seriously though.....you'll have to skip a level over him on the power hierarchy. As theres no point in using outside harassment or wasting your time and energies trying to directly fight him.

    So you'll have to get the landlord on board.

    One or a combination of these:

    -Money or Sexual acts. (always sure winners)

    -Harassment of landlord- i.e constant nagging ...(again natural to females). Multiplier effect if you can continuously nag him through his wife, or nag his wife in the presence of her social circle.

    -Threats of complicating the life of the landlord (everybody has enough shi.t on their mind) with lots of tedious menacing legal sh.it

    -Overt red flag operations - You're not likely to put your fists through doors or fire bb pellets at the walls of his room now are you. Thats what guys do. He'll know but it will be his word against yours.

    -Covert red flag op's - 'Jesus maybe I did burn the sofa with my smoke while I was passed out'. Maybe my mate did smash that door during our piss-up.
    Landlord conveniently discovers damage.

    .......
    Or finally you can just go one on one with the A-symmetrics others have suggested already.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,699 ✭✭✭bamboozle


    stop paying rent
    randomly break a number of kitchen appliances, ring landlord blame flatmates drunken guests for thrashing the place, demand the landlord fix or replace them instantly.
    Send a letter to landlord by registered mail stating your concern that class A drugs are being used in the premises, advise in letter that you have sent copy to PRTB.
    Treat yourself to meals out as you cannot gain access to your kitchen, send bills onto landlord.

    carry on like this and he'll take action.
    most landlords dont care as long as they've rent coming in.

    For your own amusement play loud ****e music early every morning & hoover.
    Leave bottle of smoothie or juice in fridge to tempt him....dose it with laxatives.

    if i was you though i'd just give the landlord 1 months notice to leave unless he rids the apartment of the slug.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,692 ✭✭✭Jarren


    Yes


    You came to the right forum for an advice OP


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 555 ✭✭✭Hippies!


    Just a suggestion but bring me over and we can have really loud sex and then... :confused: what was the question again? Oh yea, he'll get super jealous and you guys might hit it off after.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 734 ✭✭✭Tom_Cruise


    Do you have any male friends that will attack him and really hurt him?

    Cover all HIS food in the fridge with fly/wasp spray....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,166 ✭✭✭Fr_Dougal


    Burn his house down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,738 ✭✭✭Jay D


    His first initial isn't M by any chance is it?

    If I were you I'd get the fúck outta there. The landlord CAN take action for anti social behaviour and is choosing the easy option for him/herself and doing nothing, just hoping it will sort itself out and the money will keep coming in.

    I've been where you are but I just bailed and got somewhere nice and had a fresh start. Have to be honest though I'd make sure I got the flatmate good. I'm not sure whether I'd douse his bed in pepper or something on a night when he'll be partying, just to wreck his buzz completely at the end of it. Píss in his drawers, up-end his room. Oh and if there's a nice set of speakers, put a knife in the cone, laptop etc, snap it in half :)

    I'm getting a semi even thinking of it :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    Get a deal for a zany sitcom based on your situation.

    Don't share any of the money with him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Try and kill him, that'll give ideas about moving.

    Otherwise you'll find yourself holed up in your room with a box of Mr.Kipling and flat 7Up :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,522 ✭✭✭✭JRant


    The Solution is very straight forward.
    Take pictures of this git taking drugs and showing drugs present in the apartment. Send a letter with these images to the landlord, telling him you think dealing is taking place.
    Next party el Gittero has just ring the police, tell them of the drugs and possible dealing going on. Also explaining to them how you informed your landlord of previous cases of this happening.
    Sit back and watch the sh*t hit the fan. The police can sort both of these ejits out.

    I really feel for you, nobody should have to deal with that carry on.

    "Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"

    You said if he moves out he will have a whole apt to himself? Why don't u just move into that apt?! Makes more sense and will take you a day rather then the couple of weeks to get him to leave...

    Buy some fish sauce ( nom pla) and put a few drops on the armpit area of all his shirts/tshirts and groin area of his trousers. He will have no friends after a week I promise!!

    Or in extreme circumstances kill his parents and feed them to him!!! Orphanate the fooker!!

    Somewhere on some other forum, the OP's housemate posted a similar thread a few weeks ago


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Creep into his room in the middle of the night, whenever he is sleep, and pee on his face. It mightn't get him to move out, but it'll be a funny story to tell your grandchildren.

    Stay in a friends place a night or two.When you know he is having his next big session.Ring the Garda and get the place raided.If there is enough drugs he may well end up with a nice cell for himself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 591 ✭✭✭spankysue


    Lace your food that he eats with laxatives, but take all the toilet roll from the bog first, (also take your towels out too) then if he resorts to wiping his hole with one of his own towels, take a picture of that towel and send it to your landlord, tell him you refuse to live with a filthy fcuker like that..... if that fails, just sh1t on his chest when he's asleep.

    Scrape all the butter out of his tub of butter (works with all spreads) or even better if he has chocolate spread! Shiit in the middle of the tub. Wait a week. Piss yourself laughing when he finally finds it.

    You should just ring the land lord and explain the damage to your belongings, the parties and the drug use, also explain how you wont be paying rent again until he is gone. That is the only way you will get is attention.

    Talk about Eastenders/Coronation Street/Emmerdale Farm.

    He should leave fairly swiftly..
