I have a flat that I bought a couple of years ago,however there is a lot of anti social behaviour going on by one tenant in the complex.I cannot rent out due to other flats getting wrecked,doors kicked in etc.Property is only worth half of what I paid what are my options if I wanted to walk away?

Sell it for what its worth and take the financial hit or find tenants who wont mind being in a block of flats like that. Set the rent low enough and you will still get someone who wants it but you'll most likely have a high turnover of tenants.:jProud mummy to a beautiful baby girl born 22/12/11 :j0

Why not approach a Local Housing Association, Social Work Dept. or Council & offer your place to them for a fixed period, usually 5 years.
N.Never be afraid to take a profit.
Keep breathing. :eek:
Just because I am surrounded by FOOLS does not make me wise. :j0 -

Rent it to some DSS people. Sounds like a dream to that market sector.0

Voluntary repossession is no less disastrous for your credit rating than forced repossession. Have you approached the police, Environmental Health, the Antisocial Behaviour Unit at the council, the tenants' landlord, the management company of the block? If you have, have you done so in writing, do you have the support of the other residents and have you been persistent?Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0

We have contacted police etc and no one can do anything as they have no proof that this tenant is to blame.The law is an !!! and only protects the guilty0 -

No. The law considers us all innocent until proven guilty. So the law protects the innocent, which this trouble-maker is until there is enough evidence to convict.0
