crazy neighbours

monpot23

someone please give me some advice! since our hellish neighbours moved in (mother, father, 3 toddlers a baby and 2 staffordshire bulls) we have had nothing but trouble. we are house owners and have had to suffer the goings on from them for nearly 2 years. i have spoken to the council, the c.a.b, the councillor, the police, a solicitor and nobody seems to want to help. basically the property next door is owned by the mans father who lets it out to him. the dogs caused damage to the fence which cost me £800 to replace. they attacked my father in law on my property. the children were taken away from the house a few months ago. his wife has now moved out yet they still see one another frequently and argue all the time. now she has taken to calling the police at stupid times of the night to get him arrested for whatever reason. this is waking us up and my children and causing stress to us all. i have spoken to the mans father who owns the house and he refuses to to do anything to put a stop to it. so basically can i get the neighbour evicted although the house is not officially owned by a landlord as such but by his father, also would it do any good to make a complaint about the police calling at ridiculous times.

Hi

You can give Shelter a call. They offer specialist housing advice. http://www.shelter.org.uk/

Hope it gets sorted

It's not a good idea to start interfering in your neighbour's domestic disputes, they probably have enough problems to deal with. Excessive noise or anti-social behaviour should be reported to your local environmental health department.

Your point about the police calling at odd hours seems daft, most of us complain if the police do not turn up when called out.

Can you get the neighbour evicted? Very very unlikely.

If the house is owned then you have very little recourse unless they commit a criminal act.

Are Leylandii an option..?

There are the provisions of Part 1A Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003, which set out provisions relating to the issue of closure notices and the making of closure orders in respect of premises that cause significant and persistent disorder or persistent serious nuisance to a community.

Did he need medical treatment and did you ring the police?

I can only sympathise with you, especially if your property is connected to these neighbours' property (eg semi, terraced). Based on experience, you have sadly made a rod for your own back should you come to sell with them still in situ as you will have a neighbour dispute you must disclose to any buyer (and by the sounds of it you will have left an official record all over the place so no ignoring it). This can cause you a great deal of difficulty in selling the place. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

Try a website called Neighbours From Hell, thats the best place for you OP.

I went there once because the people in the flat below me smoked in bed sometimes and the smell came up through our airing cupboard.

I quickly realised that my problem was somewhat too trivial for that website though.

It did really bug me though, I couldnt even put my towels in there. We had the same landlord and I think he had a word with them.

If you are in Scotland you have the legal right to ask the Landlord to sort matters
