Removed. Funny, if someone posts about wanting a bigger council house, etc you lot go off on one about how they only need one or two rooms, etc. Yet when this monster of a man plays the system to get a three bed, I am told not to interfere in their housing choices?

  • "Playing" what system? Is this a council or housing association property? If it is, then he may still be named on the tenancy if no-one has made arrangements for him to have been removed from it.

    If these people are hateful and anti-social perhaps the best way of approaching this would be to take the necessary steps to challenge or report their behaviour rather than trying to think up ways of interfering with their private housing arrangements, which are no-one's business but their own

    We discover that he (the ex) is moving back in and keeping one of their five children so he can retain the three bedroom house so if it doesn't work out with her and her new boyfriend, she has a house to come back to and he gets a three bedroom house.

    How can you 'discover' something like that?? It doesn't sound like these are people you're on speaking terms with.

    The reason we know so much is because she tells everyone her business so it eventually filters back to us. We don't want to know her business but everyone around here is a gossip

    Well gossip which has filtered through half a housing estate has never been a particularly good way of getting reliable information.

    They are on their last warning with the HA because so many people have complained about them because they are the sort of family who think they can do what they want.

    So just report them again then.

    Well this is something that I am finding really stressful and upsetting. Clearly people don't see it in the same way that I do as they haven't experienced yet how bad it is. Sorry but I am not going to be told "not to interfere".

    Having had anti-social neighbours, I sympathise. It's very stressful and wearing, as it's there all the time.

    The best I can suggest is to keep a written log, with dates and times, and report all you can to the police, making sure to get and write down incident numbers.

    If they start kicking off, make sure you call the police/social services if you're concerned about the children in the house.

    Good luck.
