The rules included:
2) No Visitors can stay over (Unless discussed with me 2 weeks in advance and I will decide) if I catch anyone sneaking in deposit will be lost and you will need to vacate the premises immediately
7) Showers cannon last longer than 15mins in morning and evenings between 6am and 10am also between 7pm and 11pm
9) There is NO LIVING ROOM INCLUDED ONLY ROOM so if you sit in kitchen area which is MY PERSONAL LIVING SPACE you must eat then wash up and go back to room.
19) Don't leave dishes in th sink otherwise a charge of £15 will be added to rent
20) Noisy people and rude people will get 1 chance to calm down then if not deposit will be lost and you will need to vacate premises immediately
