And yes - moving in and sharing with strangers can be horrible. I have some stories I might share soon, and they are scary. But not all land'persons' are as diligent and conscientous as you (read your blog BTW - fancy a mutal link?) and most just won't care. Is there anyone to turn to?

The idea of being stuck in your own home with a "bully" is horrible - but I guess the situation isn't new. After all 1 in 10 women are stuck in a relationship with an abuse partner - bound by a mortgage, dependency, habit or fear - but I guess that's a little off the point, sorry!

The general rule of thumb is that it's up the landlord to put the work in and find compatible tenants, ensure the safety and security of existing tenants by reference checking and, if it DOES all goes horribly wrong, to get in there and mediate, bang heads together or whatever it takes to allow everyone to voice their concerns. The police should be called in the instances of violence or threats but they'll be onto the next call leaving fuming/emotionally charged tenants. Tenants - interview your landlord and ask what happens in these circumstances. I have a set procedure which I follow if a tenant makes a complaint about another and normally manage to nip the issue in the bud by either asking the perpetrator to leave or mediate to allow everyone to lead a quiet, peaceful life. Sharing accommodation with strangers is one of the hardest things in life anyone has to do but it's 20% luck and 80% landlord skill of judgement.HMO Landladyhttp://www.hmolandlady.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
