No there isn't.

You're right. I'd love to have 10 people my neighbours have never met move in with them. I can't see a single thing wrong with 12 people sharing a tiny 2.5 bedroom house.
They speak NO english so she has no way to communicate with them. She's on about her son sharing a room with a man she's never met. She's being taken advantage of because of her mental health problems.

There's no need to be sarcastic (unless you are being very amusing at the same time).
If you or your friend think she falls into the "vulnerable" category then contact your local social services adult safeguarding team.
But if she's that vulnerable she could be making it up.0 -
Are her mental health problems severe enough for to have a social worker as if so, perhaps you could try to get them involved on the basis of protecting this vulnerable sounding lady. I know you are worried about the impact it could have on you but you will also be doing her a favour in the long term I expect as it sounds like she is going to very outnumbered in her own home."'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life

It won't impact on me personally as I live about 4 miles away. But my friend is very very worried about it. The neighbour is bipolar, but doesn't take medication because she has "found God". She met this bloke through church and a few weeks later he's moving a load of friends and kids into her house. He's got her putting a tent up in the (tiny) garden this afternoon for her to put her stuff in to make room for all of these strangers.
Her problems sound severe (she once went on holiday and wasn't sure what to do with her cat, so she ran it over.) but there's no mention of social services etc. This isn't something I've had experience of so I've no idea what they can do. Trying to be a man is a waste of a woman0 -
You seem to know quite a lot about the personal affairs of someone you allegedly live four miles away from.
If you're sincere have your friend contact the Local Authority's social services adult safeguarding team.0 -
Sorry my mistake, forgot you said it was your friend not yourself. I would be extremely concerned in your friends position as it is extremely stressful having troublesome neighbours (and it does sound like it will go this way). Ask you friend to contact social services and maybe explain the situation to them. Hopefully they will at least investigate a little."'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life

Okay. Let's hope they have an out of hours service..........Trying to be a man is a waste of a woman0 -

It's one of my best friends. She told me of the plan when I saw her yesterday and today she's sending me message after message about it. As soon as my husband finishes work I'm heading over there, but just wanted to get some research/answers before I see her.Trying to be a man is a waste of a woman0 -

That doesn't change facts regarding ownership; you need to know who the LL is and the Land Registry tells you who owns the property.If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing0
