Some of the tree hugging replies here are hilarious. Do you live in the real world?? Essel should pay for a stranger toive in his house? Er no don’t think so unless he’s running a homeless shelter. All those saying he should let him stay, should offer this chap a room in their house if they are so accommodating.
I’ve got to rent my house soon and go into rented accommodation myself, due to having to work in another county that’s in commutable daily (I intend to go back to my home in the future). If some idiot pulls the same thing on me I will be struggling financially. It’s all so clear cut isn’t it!!! Bloody idiots lol.
Good luck getting it sorted mate.
