I'm in a dilemma. Been working from a room since Monday that I've rented off someone. Have paid my rent daily.

I arranged with him the other day to stay till Tuesday night.

Out of the blue tonight he asked if I could pay the next five days up front tomorrow. The thought of it horrified me and I was put on the spot so I said I couldn't tomorrow but on Saturday I would see.

Even when I tour using hotels I never pay for more than one or two days in advance. But this is a flat that could potentially be closed down any time due to the set up in there.

Now trying to think how I can tell him that I just want to pay one day at a time.

I so wish he hadn't asked me.

just tell him the same that you said here : I want to pay one day at a time. Even I tour using hotels I never pay for more than one or two days in advance. - its honest and clear. tell him this is the way you work and stick to it. if he has brain he will understand it.

I give him one day in advance when I arrive. For that same day. Just done want to pay for the next day or the one after that till I get there so I wouldn't be able to run off owing him anything. Yes I could do a runner but wouldn't owe him anything or have used his facilities for free. I don't book hotels or serviced apartments for any more than one or two days at a time. On some occasions with two nights stay I have done as two separate bookings so I can cancel Day 2 if need be. With some hotels you would be refunded if you left early but could wait days for refund.

In this case this is a flat with too many girls and there's every chance he could be closed down(I've been there in the past at other flat) or the landlady could decide to chuck him out.

I just feel like an idiot for saying I would try to do it and now want to tell him I can't or won't.

Thanks. I will. X

Don't think the place has been opened long enough to get busted yet lol.

Sadly in multi girl apartments we all know that it just takes one disgruntled client with any one of the other girls for the police to be notified and plod coming in.  Unless someone is working on their own permanently then we know they can arrive.  We know it is only the person who is on the rental agreement or similar that may get done but it is the inconvenience it can cause to our business not to mention if you have someone with you when they enter. 

I've been there and it's not nice. The plod took my mobiles for three days as well to see what info there was on her. I had to go and buy replacement sims. Was fully booked that day too and lost out on all that! 

i would never do that
