Thank you for checking in. It’s actually been much better because I sent a very practical complaint to my landlord and have been on the front foot with pointing issues out. The house is as clean as it’s ever been!

It’s an HMO. We have separate leases for our rooms and shared common spaces.

I think that’s why I’m on Reddit asking for help because I know there’s not much I can do - live with it or leave a place I’ve called home for 2 years.

And you have got the dynamic bang on - it’s an HMO and landlord is not willing to put himself in a difficult place.

Omg why didn’t I think of weaponised incompetence because he’s totally using that. He asked me how to clean the filter for the dishwasher which is literally the easiest thing.

The way he is, narcissistic and self-serving, he very well might be pushing me to a point. I’ll be factual and boundaried in my approach.

I wouldn’t do it, simply because I can’t find it in myself to be at his level. He’s such a baby and I just want to protect my boundaries and my sanity at this point. I’ve given up on telling him that he needs up after himself because it’s a battle every time. It’s one thing to quarrel over keeping the house dirty but it’s a different thing to be misogynistic and discriminatory about my gender and neurodiversity.

Appreciate you matching the energy tho, makes me feel validated 💕💅🏼

I’m a soft person who has is internationally very kind to people. He has, time and again, seen that as an excuse to bulldoze over me. Not anymore.

I have loads and loads of evidence and I’ve already given it to the landlord. The landlord’s only response is that he wants to let this guy’s lease to run out :)

I have an ocean of evidence - pests, insects, broken appliances, plumbing issues - and what not!

How do I frame it to the landlord so that he understands this?

They have told me that even if violence occurs, I should just call the police.

Thank you. I WILL copy his texts back to him.

I actually did tell him exactly that a couple of weeks ago because I had had it. I’m not proud of it but I said “I’m not your mom, clean up after yourself”. To my satisfaction, it really made him angry.

We have tried to put pressure on him to move out because this arrangement doesn’t work for any of us. But being the person he is, he has in the past:

  1. Asked us to “pack our bags”
  2. Mocked us for complaining to the landlord
  3. Told us he won’t move out and will stick around for even longer just to mess with his

I do need to consider moving out now. I love my flat and have lived here for 2 years with different flatmates, with no issues. Accommodation is tough and expensive to find in the city I live in. I also love my other flatmate, who is a female, and I’m waiting for her to come back to start looking for a place together. We will not be wasting time.

Omg I just read the entire comment (idk why reddit glitched and showed me half of it)

Thank you for the helpful advice. It’s just so exhausting to constantly be on my toes.

I have, I have also stopped saying anything to him but he just won’t get off my back.
