Disclosure of Noisy Neighbour?

The landlord could if he wanted take action as the tenant is likely to be breaching tenancy conditions by creating a disturbance.
I would have thought that if neighbours who were also tenants complained, he would have a duty to act? At the least they could exercise considerable pressure as he wouldn't want to risk his other income.
But if someone is noisy because he is ill, it's a moral as much as legal issue.

assuming the person making noise is a tennant not an owner.... and how would the people complaining know who the landlord is to complain to them in the first place?

My mates rented a flat but within days she got a fright when she heard strange noises in the middle of the night!

Her elderly neighbour appears to some sort of mental illness and shouts loudly in the night. It doesnt appear to be tourettes- it appears to be more a form of schizophrenia.

My question is,

Was the landlord obliged to disclose this, or was my mate niave not to specifically ask about the neighbours?

The landlord is playing dumb but all the other residents say the noises have been going on for a couple of years!! The police say they cannot intervene unless they witness it- but its very random.

Is it the landlords duty to investigate or the tenant?

Thanks,

Answer, No.

Bet your sorry you started this thread, brought down a whole load of Numpty's down on your head, leave it to you to decide which is which.

This thread demonstrates MSE at its worst. Well done for the sensible, helpful comments.

If sleep is broken night sfter night, it is a problem, regardless of the cause. Due to the circumstances, I don't think you will get far with this and I think giving notice as soon as possible will be the best result for your friend.
