Well I found out who it was that was in my house, it was the previous tenant rory like I thought and he is….”mentally challenged” so no fighting him I suppose.

Consider this a valuable life lesson, one that could have been much more unpleasant to learn. When you buy a house...before you unpack the truck, before you go to sleep the first night...CHANGE THE LOCKS! Or at least add a new one to the old.

Yes John, I had fully intended to do it right after I got the keys but it slipped from my mind. Not doing it again, that’s for sure.

tlindsey, honestly I feel bad for the guy, I’m just gonna deal with him coming around to check for his mail since he’s not any danger to me and the only way to make him stop would be to call the cops and I don’t want him in jail just because he can’t understand what’s going on.

Congrats on the house, thats a big achievement and something to be proud of. Looks like all your hard work has paid off.

Does this guy have parents or a carer you can talk too, see if he can get his mail redirected and drop hints that even thogh you are a chilled guy you do have limits and stealing your toilet paper is going too far.

Thank you, I saved aggressively so I could get a house early on and start getting the principal paid down.

I doubt he has anyone and he doesn’t seem to have the mental capacity to understand it as I asked him to not come back the other day and all he said was “me rory”.

As this story unfolds fishhead0103666 fishhead0103666 I can't help but ask a glaringly obvious question.

When you move out of an house, whether it's your own house, or rented accommodation, you simply hand the keys over to the new owner/tennant, you certainly don't hang onto them so you can let yourself back into your old property as and when it suits!

When we moved into our new house back in 2014 we were given the keys off the previous owners and they went their jolly way, never seen them since. It never entered our heads to change the locks and what not. Maybe the real estate industry works differently in the US.

Who was responsible for getting the keys off this guy? It certainly shouldn't be you! And given the fact he has learning disabilities I'd have thought it was extra important to get those keys, just in case he "forgot" where he lived and came back to his old house, like he did!

What part did the estate agents play in all this that left you so open?
