I very clearly and deliberately specified in the Flatmates ad that I would not take any Centrelink recipients, nor accept any SA Housing bond agreements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I was confident that when Art contacted me through Flatmates he would meet the criteria. Oh, was I wrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Art and his sister turned up at the appointment time and were both very charming. She explained that Art had been unable to find accommodation and so had been living in a tent in their garden. This while Adelaide was in a long heatwave of 40\u00ba days. I felt sorry for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was polite, said he suffered from Depression\u2014who hasn&#8217;t at some stage\u2014and that he&#8217;d be no trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Red flags: Art was a Centrelink recipient and had no bond but a SA Housing email. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Irrespective of that, I opened my heart and let him take the room, because I like helping those who haven&#8217;t enjoyed the luck that I have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This lovefest ended abruptly the very next night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Art stormed out of his bedroom and straight into the living room where I was reading. Very loudly and aggressively he accused me of having gone into his room without his permission. I assured him I hadn&#8217;t, but he insisted I had and he was going to kill me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I spoke to him calmly and assured him I hadn&#8217;t gone into his room, even though I was entitled to, and he eventually huffed his way back to his room. At which point I text his sister and asked her to talk him down, which she seemingly did. About half an hour later he sheepishly came back down to me and apologised, saying &#8220;I really wouldn&#8217;t kill you.&#8221; &#8220;I don&#8217;t know that,&#8221; I replied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"857\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/leehopkins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/death-threat-copy.jpg?resize=580%2C857&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Artlan 'Art' Menzies - text message to his sister after just his second night with me, 2022\" class=\"wp-image-1856 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/leehopkins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/death-threat-copy.jpg?resize=693%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 693w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/leehopkins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/death-threat-copy.jpg?resize=203%2C300&amp;ssl=1 203w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/leehopkins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/death-threat-copy.jpg?resize=768%2C1135&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/leehopkins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/death-threat-copy.jpg?resize=1040%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1040w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/leehopkins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/death-threat-copy.jpg?resize=1200%2C1773&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/leehopkins.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/death-threat-copy.jpg?w=1284&amp;ssl=1 1284w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 580px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 580\/857;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Text correspondence with Art&#8217;s sister after just his second night with me. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He seemed to calm down after that, and I put it all down to a psychotic episode and nothing to worry about.
