    Seems like your giving the landlord a hell of an easy time.
    If I'm following this correctly the landlord gets to decide who can live there and who can't, then he gets one of you guys to act as a management company for free and collect all the rent, and the icing on the cake being that he expects you people to pay if someone leaves.

    Who holds on to the deposits?
    Is it you or the landlord?
    If its the landlord then I reckon he should be the one out of pocket, if its you then I think you are being a bit of a pushover and should either change the arrangements or move somewhere else where you can't get hit by this crap.

    Sorry if that sounded harsh!

    Small claims court FTW :rolleyes:

    Going round to her work is the quickest way to getting paid out - which should be the sole objective here. It doesnt even matter if you all have to take time off work to do it - its the principal of the thing. If you don't get your money back, its always going to linger with you that you got screwed over.

    As regards, her parents not being involved - to hell with that. My view would be that ALL avenues are open once someone blatantly screws you over.

    And once you get paid up, stick her mobile down for a few buy and sell ads advertising 5 pygmy goats in West Cork.

    Yea, but the landlord insists on it coming from one person - i can see the point in this myself to be honest, it'd get messy wouldn't it?
    No. You pop your rent in with a reference of your name and either keep a hold of a receipt or your own bank statments showing that your rent went into his account.

    Sorry I ment if the land lord got her in why are the rest of you taking a hit on this months rent

    I don't really understand this too.

    If the landlord is himself renting out the rooms, I do not understand why you have to pay her rent.

    Have you tried telling the landlord "you picked a **** to move in, so the loss is yours"?

    He didn't pick. The whole House itself is rented and I nominated myself to collect the rent on behalf of the others.

    Honestly, you're making it too easy for him/her!
