    If you'd already decided who was at fault and what you planned to do about it, why did you bother to start a thread at all?
  • I'd say If I walked out I would have a strong enough case to sue for damages for the fact that in work I cannot perform my duties as a doctor.


    Honestly, you can say what you like but about taking the action you propose would get you precisely nowhere.

    You can't sue for damages as you haven't suffered any monetary loss. Forget suing and find another property to rent.

    In the hope of someone replying with advice he wants to hear, the rest can be ignored, although i'm not sure that is how you learn to do things in most medical schools

    Sorry but I think this is a wind up thread


    As a doctor you would be earning more then enough not to be living on the developments and estates where fear of knee capping is still a problem

    I earn minimum wage, am a blow in, yet I know how to chose where to live

    The PSNI in Northern Ireland dont seam to give a rats !!! about it - They came out did !!!! all and the music resumed so I think its time for vigilante justice.

    Wind up?

    As someone who was in a caring profession, I'd have been surprised if one of my colleagues had written the above. It sounds more like Judge Dredd than Doctor Finlay!

    This problem happens frequently, especially in student type accommodation, where the tenant often knows too little about housemates, or the place they will be living. Usually, they sort it out without recourse to the law. My DD has just organised a flat swap for two students, ill-fitted to their new accommodation. No drama. Universities and hospitals typically have social networks large enough to cope.

    I have to admit that the OP doesn't come across as someone who might be working in A&E, but there again, if someone is tired, very wound up, young and in a strange place they might present as a drama queen.

    Id say If I walked out I would have a strong enough case to sue for damages for the fact that In work I cannot perform my duties as a Doctor.

    Imagine if I gave the patient the wrong dose because I was tired because I had a neighbour who thought it was fun to get blocked on a weekend.

    I thank you all for your advice but I think if my Landlord wants to take this route then I can take the route of refusing to pay rent as I am clearly not getting what I agreed to.

    And secondly the courts in Northern Ireland are corrupt as !!!! so put it this way - A tenant will win here straight down.

    I'magine young Graduate doctor making a mistake because the Landlord would not release him from his contract. Funny how the law changes.

    Are you serious? Your job is not your LLs problem, if you need more sleep, go to bed earlier.

    If you really are a doctor, you must be fairly intelligent, heed the advie you are being given. Your LL will sue you for the outstanding rent, and you will lose.

    From your recent statements I'm finding this thread a little hard to believe!

    Contact Environmental Health about the noise and see how that pans out. Looks like you're just looking for a reason to leave and are scared you won't get your deposit back.
