I guess for most people it would be one night in a hotel!

If you mean having a residence where you officially registered your address for bank accounts, council tax, driving licence and all the rest, then for me it might have been six weeks. (And I was on holiday for much of it.)

1 night in a bedsit rented out by a very pompous solicitor in Cardiff. She was very full of herself and demanded a police background check before renting me the room on the basis that she detested any sort of unsociable behaviour. No problem for me as I don't drink or do drugs and only needed a place while I was looking for a new job in a different part of the country.

Upon getting the keys I found some random man living in the downstairs sitting room (no bed, he just had cushions on the floor) and two other tenants who were middle aged, never worked a day in their lives and would spend all their time watching porn and getting high. That one and only night was spent listening to the tenants scream at each other, smash objects, run up and down the stairs as they ordered pizzas and having the police search one of their rooms for drugs.

I cancelled my deposit, rent and returned the keys the next day.


OP: No idea what Pgl is though.

Dunno. But lived at current place for 11 years. Previous place for around 16 years. Maybe I think 2 years before that and gah going really young now but place before perhaps five years? Probably then when I was a baby born in Peterborough. I don't even remember that far back and I'm sure I was in early Primary School when I was living in the second place. I even remember just playing with sand and children's paints and not really doing any actual learning of a curriculum.

So I think maybe two years when I was super duper young.

Of course if you mean after as an adult at 18 then 11 years at my current address is my shortest term.

Shortest time actually living somewhere was a year, I lived in a flat underneath a drug addled mess of a man. Saved every penny I had to spare to move in to the house I've now owned 6 years.

The shortest time I have lived anywhere, is the house I'm in now, as I've lived in the same house since I was born in 1952' which makes it my shortest and longest time together in the same house,

a few days in the maternity unit would probably be it, was before the modern thing of kicking you out before you've even popped the sprog.

About 6 months. I've lived in 3 places for over 5 years (2 for over 15) and 2 places for under 6 months.

Almost a year in our Volvo estate car early 80s, then 4 years in temporary accommodation a local tied accommodation flat that really wasn't fit to live in, it was condemned and pulled down after we left.

That's rough! Where did you park the car at night?

When I was about 17 I moved into a house with 2 guys. I had the biggest room in the house and whilst I was at work my mum and 2 best mates at the time kitted it out with brand new furniture and feature bits and pieces from ikea, it was a lovely surprise to come back to. That night we had a room warming and everyone got very drunk which resulted in one of my friends sleeping with my landlord (one of the guys). They had a relationship for 2 weeks then things turned sour and she started to tell everybody how small his dick was and how crap he was in bed. Unsurprisingly a few days later I got asked to leave. All in all I was there for less than a month.

About 8 weeks. I was renting a bungalow with a friend after his last house mate moved out. Turned out he wasn't paying the rent and was using the money I gave him to go out clubbing and buy drugs.
Moved in with my parents just before he got evicted.

All around the area police tended to move us on if we stayed too long on one place.

3 months - after I was born and then moved to a brand new prefab. (Mind you, that was just a few years after WW2)

Assuming the poster was telling the facts (and took account of where they're living at the moment), I think you're right!
