Hi I have a lodger who today I gave him 28 days notice to leave.he has asked me for a reason why he has to go so I said I'd like my house back and planning to move within the next 2 to 3 months to a sheltered accommodation due to my disability and need to start packing getting rid of stuff.He stated that 28 days isn't enough time and that I can use other room for storage.to be honest I want him gone asap he cooks late at night till early hours I can't get to sleep.he talks loud at night on speaker phone despite me telling him to lower it down.he interferes when I tell my granson off leaves stuff cooking on stove while going off to have a shower windows are shut kitchin full of steam have told him hundreds of times I do the telling off open windows when cooking but it doesn't seem to sink in his head.the last straw was he took my bottled water in his room plus helping himself to other stuff I csnt take anymore.the list goes on.1 time I was cooking he came in started cooking rather wait till I finished he carried on.i have the feeling he won't leave.i don't know what to do.he also told me his friend coming to stay for a week I told him he's not staying here but the lodger just went out without saying anything

Good outcome. Its often useful to have another man on the scene.

So pleased to see that the troublesome individual has been sent packing. Excellent news.

There’s certainly a lesson here for anyone who might be considering taking in a lodger.
A risky thing to do.
