@littlek,
I'll chip in for the cost! Very Happy

But seriously, k, there might have to be a parting of the ways. You're not getting anywhere ...

@msolga,
Yep, MsOlga, I mentioned that to the one who's leaving. I don't care at this point if she moves out and I have to find two new housemates.

@littlek,
Well, in all honesty, k, it's not exactly working is it?

And getting worse by the minute, by the sounds of it .... Neutral

However, I can't force her to move out, I don't think. She'd have to agree to move out.

@ossobuco,
Yes, it is. Good thinking, Jane!

I think it'd be very difficult for the landlady to find a better tenant than k. (She even gets free gardening as part of the deal!) I wouldn't be at all surprised if she was amenable to such a proposal. That is, if k thinks it's a good idea, of course!

Glad to see you beginning to get in touch with your inner dragon. <g>

Housemates would have no legal responsibility to stay a full year and I would have to cover their rent. So.... the lesson is brought to me occasionally, but I just shy away from the financial responsibilities. I think I should talk to my landlady anyway.

Bear in mind that your landlady may want to give you some relief with the rent for the hassle you take off of her. Legal obligation or not, when tenants want to leave they leave. Although landlords can theoretically sue the remaining rent out of them, this is usually more trouble than it's worth. In practical terms, then, tenants departing prematurely and your landlady missing out on some of the rent is is a risk she's already facing. The chance to shift this risk onto you by making you the sole tenant would be worth some decrease in your rent, leaving both a happy landlady and a happy you.

Spoke with landlady and brought up the possibility of holding the lease in my name in the future.

We have a bite from a Swiss Woman who is 28 and works nearby. Maybe that'll work. And, the young one seems to be reconsidering the 39 year old Irish guy - why? I dunno.

Progress, k! Smile

How keen are you on sharing with the Irish guy? I think you were meant to get back to him today, or yesterday?

She's planning a "Three's Company" gambit with the mum.

@patiodog,
I post as a tv fool, Three's Company is something I never watched.
I am a dirty minded girl, but I doubt Young One is. Not sure, of course.
So, I cop to dirtymindedness, apologies to lit/k and petunia.

@ossobuco,
This is useless, I can't even bear to read wiki on Three's Company.
Although I know Santa Monica very well.
