No. There would have been, and if I have a drastic change of heart, there will be. But right now, no.
there is also a tactical consideration here since you don't have a contract in place- draw one up, double the rent you'd originally asked for ($1000/month+utilities) hand her the pen and smile. she's changed the agreement, you can too.

OK, so there's an issue.
I'm supposed to have a roommate move in today. With her two school-age (nine and twelve years old) daughters. Bad enough that I reluctantly agreed to that.
I told her I would be off of e-mail for New Year's weekend and to call me over the weekend. She did not. I thought she wasn't coming and solicited other people ...[text shortened]... coming, you don't show. And if them getting here was this rough, well...

An old friend of mine you used to own a house with rooms to let, used to just let his rooms to ugly girls. The fact being is that if he rented to pretty girls there would always be some sort of boyfriend trouble and probably damage to his flat as well but with an ugly girl no such problem.

Sorry, you said you would take them, end of story.
No good saying she changed the rules; live and learn.
