Unhappy Housemate help

Huge rant alert.

We live in a house of 10, split into 2 5-bedroomed maisonettes.

So this fella who lives in our bit is becoming the real nightmare housemate He is a complete scruff who doesn't mind living in his own filth and it's really getting the rest of us down. Our kitchen is in a complete state, even if we (the rest of us) clean it from top to bottom, it is guaranteed to be back to the original cesspit state after a day.

This fella who I shall call "M" has done absolutely no washing up for 3 weeks as he is quite happy to use unclean utensils etc, it's foul. Because he uses stuff then leaves it to get into such a state none of us want to wash it, 1) why the feck should we and 2) he only leaves it to get in a state if we do! It would be fine if it was just his stuff he didn't wash up but it's everyone's combined which means we run out of stuff to use after a few days. At the moment we have to wash up just what we want to use when we want to use it which is a pain in itself. But then we don't want to cook in the kitchen anyway, can't move for pots and pans and the kitchen table is covered in potato peeling and other crap

I know it sounds disgusting, believe me it is and its getting very depressing. We're sick of cleaning up after him but I know I'm going to have to attack the kitchen later on today, I can;t take it any longer. A few hours of my life wasted lol.

It doesn't matter how many notes we leave or how many times we speak to him, he just DOES NOT get the fkin message. We're thinking of dumping the whole lot of dirty pans in his new inflatable double bed . Other problems include:
  • playing of crappy dance music and stupid volumes at stupid hours of the morning to cover up worse noises that fortunately I don't hear...
  • raving parties upstairs which isn't a problem but not when the lounge is left in a worse state after with no move to clean it up.
  • bathroom uncleanliness
  • having baths and leaving the door unlocked
  • and more...


Anyway, the question I want to put to you .org is this:

M actually ceases to be a student after January, he is currently resitting a third year semester. This means he will have absolutely nothing to do come next semester when the rest of us are bogged down with exams and dissertation work and we will have to put up with raving parties etc. He plans to get a job but we know he blatently won't.

He doesn't plan on letting the landlady and she would want to know seeing as him not being a student affects Council Tax.

Should we let the landlady know or is it too mean?

P.S. Really sorry to have ranted I know you lot don't really need to know about the tedious goings on in my life and there are more important things going on in the world to worry about, but it's really pi$$ing us off!


EDIT: I forgot to mention that even when he does the washing up which is rare, he can't do it for toffee, so we end up doing most of it again #shakes head in despair#

haha YC threatens to do that every time he's down here

M set the fire alarm off the other week at 3 in the morning cooking fried potatoes (not naked for once, makes a change ) and I was ill and had only just got off to sleep, had to get up to turn it off and proceeded to rebuke him most severely in front of the others, must have looked hilarious. He's about a foot taller than me with long ginger curly hair and I was yelling at him, he was very taken aback

You shoudl all get together and speak to the landlady and present her with a "united" front. get her to come to the house and show her the mess and dont let him know she is coming that way she can see it for herself.

Failing that collect up all his filth, put it in a bin bag and dump it in his room......

Threaten him, tell him that if he doesn't do his share of cleaning you'll sneak into his room in the night and cut his 'nads off.

lol an idea but I really wouldn't want to show her it, I'd be ashamed The united thing is a definite though!

The chap who lives in the room next to him is going mad, he's quite clean and has had to start using our bathroom as there is vomit in theirs from M a few nights ago that's STILL there

Ask your Landlady to ask for evidence that you are all be students each symmester even if only to highlight the fact that M will no longer be a student and thus affecting the Council Tax.

In the meantime, dumping of dirty pans on inflatable bed, sound like a pretty good idea hmmmmm .

TBH I would have been pi$$ed off too and have done something similar when I was in the Army. We dumped the contents of the bins in the communal living room in their bed for them to find on their return from leave. Not saying this is the best way forward or a solution but it worked for us at the time .

I was up for tying him to a chair next time he gets blathered (the lure being "its a drinking game and there's a fresher waiting in S&M gear in your room dear") then threatening him with a knife at a dangerously close region....

haha nice one! A friend was telling me how he kept dumping the stuff in the bin outside every week and they just kept buying new plates (some obviously get bigger loans than the rest of us LOL)...
