Hello,

I have just been hit with news that my tenancy agreement requires me to give two months' notice - I assumed it would be one and I am desperate for it to be one to be honest as myself and partner have split. The tenancy manager has said to me "You have a two month rolling notice...

Hello everyone . I'm writing in here as we have a flatmate who is causing annoyance in the shared house where we live. This person and us had several arguments using strong words and impolite behaviour. He got an anger problem and one day it was even close to fight with me. He's smokes in the house...
