    Hose down these dirty foreigners and throw some flea powder at them*

    Are you a tenant or an owner-occupier? If you're a tenant, contact your LL who in turn can contact the building manager. If you're an owner-occupier then contact the building manager yourself. It might also be worth contacting this neighbour's landlord too.

    Are in Scotland, England, Wales, NI. It does make difference on how you can tackle anti-social neighbours.

    *DO NOT DO THIS

    It makes a difference to who "foreigner" includes, too...

    Well laddie, I count anyone who didn't have an ancestor fighting for King Robert at Bannockburn as a sassenach.**

    While I'd be far from happy, I agree with the posters above that you probably should not fixate on the country of origin. It may be that the neighbour is acting in line with the culture in which they grew up, but that's irrelevant to the complaint.

    Saying foreign in case someone cries racism but its relevant to situation because what has happened is the estate(and town) we have a huge population of foreign workers from one country and they all stick together.

    Not relevant at all, and I'm little offended by it.

    I'm foreign-born, and the area close to where I live (having a large airport) has a large number of foreign nationals from countries that are close to mine, and we often meet up.

    Would it be ok if they're English people? If not, no need to mention.

    Speak to your LL/the freeholder about it, and they will deal with it, especially as it could affect the insurance for the block.

    It's only relevant in that the OP can't speak to the tenants about the problem as they don't - or claim not to - speak English, which is surely the obvious first step in resolving the issue.

    Welcome to multicultural Britain..
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Would it be any different if the tenant was a native English speaker, and similarly refused to listen?
