Hi Angelina,

I read your post with unease - and disgust where wrote about your landlord 'trying it on with you'.

He perceives himself in a position of power and likewise you see yourself as weak and helpless in this situation. This is not normal for landlords in the same building. Usually this is much better than dealing with an agent or large company.

As Eastenders points out, these self-invented house rules cannot be legally enforced. This is YOUR home and your private life. Instead of sticking his rules on the back of your door, I'd flush them down the toilet.

Next time he puts his arms round you from behind. Scream and throw your head back violently. Your head will hurt when it hits his nose, or better still breaks a few teeth. It will cause him great pain and stop that dirty trick and show him who's boss of your life.

Report him (I wouldn't be surprised to find there have been other complaints about him). Keep out of his way, if he SMSs you on holiday - delete it without reading it. Give your notice in due time and leave him and his warped world behind.

Good luck!
