A lot of it is common sense though - just list the things that annoy you and compare them with everyone elses. The common denominators are your house rules.

Stuff like "I will not walk around communal areas naked", "I will not play loud music late at night", "I will lock the front door". I don't think it's specifically a Moseley thing, just a way of keeping the undesirables out of the building (ie young folk who don't understand how fucking annoying they are. People like I was about 15 years ago.) I should have gotten a copy. Stuff like “I will not walk around communal areas naked”, “I will not play loud music late at night”, “I will lock the front door”.

Answer - carry a key on a chain round your neck! The flat is a bit weird. It’s two rooms but they both open out onto the landing, so I effectively have two front doors.
