Letting himself in when you are not home is probably a best case scenario. When I used to work at Legal Aid they had a case where they were doing an urgent Intervention Order for a woman who had woken up in the middle of the night to find the landlord and his son in the bedroom.

Yeah. It seems fucked up and extreme that women have to consider these possibilities but yeah.

Whether this guy “only” planned to become overfamiliar and harass a lone female tenant or he planned to push the boundaries in another way, this guy very obviously didn’t have good intentions.

Kind of stressed out for any woman who can’t find somewhere else before her lease ends or if he learns to be less obviously creepy upfront
