tip off the tax man. I'm sure they'll want their cut, too!

I seem to remember such earnings, being immoral, are non-taxable in the UK...?

Can you be totally sure they are actually prostitutes and just not really, really horny ladies using Tinder etc?

I'm sure there was a case where i live where a lady was jailed for running a brothel but allowed to keep her income because she paid all the tax due....

Read what this bloke says about his sister being prostitute #3 (he works in Tenant relations for a council...).

That has made my day and set me up nicely for the weekend. Thank you.

Thought is was best to state my source LOL! You can learn a lot from watching the Bill...

When I was a kid, someone did start using a house next door to us for the purposes of conducting business with their clients. It's one of those where you might not have ideological objections but it's not desirable to have it happening next door.

We reported it to the police, they came round and talked to us and noted down things. However, I think what really put an end to the use related to prostitution was when our other (slightly hotheaded) neighbour took a sledgehammer to a client's car and yelled some things about not wanting prostitution in our street. It was amazing, I watched the whole thing with a kind of horrified fascination from the living room window.

I think just reporting it to the police would have had the desired effect eventually, but he clearly couldn't wait that long.

As artful says, the comment about no keys is worrying

If you have any suspicion at all of somewhere that trafficked women may be kept, then ring Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

This might be a bit off topic, but I am hoping that there are some experienced landlord here who can help me with this. I live on the block with my wife and daughter. It's a quiet community, and is in one of the safer area near Canary Wharf in London.

Now I have no real gripes with prostitutes, if that's how you wish to make a living and as long as you are happy with doing it and not being forced then so be it but I cannot put up with this when I have a 1 year old .

OP, I understand these may not be the neighbours you want but how does it impact on your one year old daughter.

Why does it need an experienced LL to tell you to report it to the police?

What else can you LL do unless they also own the property next door? How long is your tenancy, I assume you can move before this has any real impact on your child!

How did the punter react. I'd love to have seen his insurance claim.
