i think things could have been handled better tbh.

I agree and I find it sickening that some find it acceptable to suggest lying about the noise to get them evicted!

The OP doesn't want the family evicted, but to have more suitable accommodation , surely.

It's a one bedroom flat, so the disabled child is in with the parents.

Nice spin

The OP wants the family removed from her block of flats because of noise. Did you genuinely read this thread and think the OP would not be complaining if the flat below was a 2 bed not a 1 bed?

If you can find a single post from the OP which suggests that she gives a hoot whether this family are put in a hostel, a B and B or a 1 bedroom flat out of earshot of her, please repost though.

At what point did we decide this was all about one drunken comment from the friend? When did we drop all the disgraceful language and comments from the original post? It never ceases to amaze me how people twist things, cherry pick to defend the indefensible. If the OP feels they have been hard done by on this thread then I would like to know how she feels trying to get a disabled child evicted from their home should be viewed, lets not forget that was the main thrust of the thread, disabled child making animal noises that disturbs her peace, the rest of it mentioned one disturbed sleep and one run in with a friend. Someone who feels strongly enough to complain to the authorities and try to gather some kind of neighbourhood posse to agree this disability is antisocial behavior shouldn't be looking to enlist complete strangers to justify it.

Erm...Not sure if you were referring to my post from an hour or so ago in this Vicky, but if you were, I think then I didn't make my point clear enough. My point was that in all that OP said in her first post (not read the whole thread) that the other family had done wrong, all I can find which could be considered as 'bad behaviour' was their friends swearing at her. There are many other issues raised, but nothing else which suggests that the family with the child are bad neighbours, just neighbours she'd rather not have. That was the point I was trying to make, although perhaps not very well made.

No.All she cares about is having them booted out.

Can I just say again, the noise source is almost irrelevant. Someone who is sensitive to noise shouldn't live in a flat with someone above or below them. The next neighbours could have a 1 week old baby. Or be deaf and have the TV/Radio on full blast. Or play the trumpet/take tap dancing lessons. When you can't control outside forces, you do the only thing you CAN control - move to a place where nobody is living above or below you!!! A semi detached house can work, as there will be rooms on the "detached" side which are almost silent.

There is no point whinging about things you can't control.

Not everyone is lucky enough to be able to afford a big semi detached or detached house miles from the nearest neighbours.........but everyone should be able to have at least relative peace in their own home.

Unacceptable noise is just that; from whatever source.

Is that too much to ask?

So what is the solution to the noise source here?

Presumably the parents of the child also fall into the category detailed in your first paragraph.

I imagine that they do, but seeing as they were housed in a one bedroom flat, then unfortunately they are going to impact on quite a lot of people.

I have no idea as to the solution, just sympathies with the OP.

Errata

There's something quite odd going on if a very vocal disabled child of seven is in a privately rented one bedroom flat with two parents.
