For the record I am currently renting. I have owned and occupied 4 properties and rented 6.

What is your issue with living next to tenants then?

Been here for 10 years, mine and nest door sold same time, theirs was buy to let from start and both are mid terrace.

First 2 were great.

Third one, fine, it was just the visitors she had and they were mostly in the garden in summer and our gardens are narrow in width and walls were waist height (putting clothes on line i was practically in tbeir garden it was that close).

When they left, wall heightened with fence on top so can't see anything.

Fourth (current) great, never seem them but great.

My parents ex neighbours who were owners were !!!!!.

Their current ones are renting seem fine, they said hear noise like music (not odd hours) but my mum is noise senistive and the fact had the house for about 30 years, the old neighbours were 2 old women, when they passed the house was for sale for years, so they never had noise.

Not in my street, bit some owners swear they own the road outside their property for parking their car.

I often find the ones who complain the loudest about "obnoxious" neighbours are the ones who are the problem.....

Surely it's easier to get bid of bad tenants next door than bad owners? I'm (hopefully.....) buying next door to a rented property and don't give two hoots.

Ludicrous post from the OP and daft responses. I've had perfect renter neighbours and nightmare from hell owner neighbours. It means nothing.

If you have a problem with ASB from renters you have a landlord you can harass and the real possibility of getting them out. You're stuck with anti social owners.

Therein lies one of the biggest problems between neighbours - shared on road parking. We had a neighbour opposite who kept complaining she couldn't park outside her house. When our medium size removal van was there to pack up and load she moaned like the very devil. I would have thought she would have been pleased we were moving:). We live on a farm now, no parking issues:D

I live in an area of mixed owned and rented.

One renter has a big white van complete with a pile of ladders tied to the roof. His partner has a small car.
He has a drive capable of parking 3 vehicles plus a double garage. There is room to park 3, maybe 4 vehicles on the road in front of his house.

He's attached very official looking "No Parking" signs out front and has cameras watching what he seems to believe is his road!
If anyone dare park there, he is out, waving his arms, pointing to the signs, shouting I've got cameras. Seen him come running out if anyone parks there, telling them to move (usually women)

My son called in to see us for an hour and this "No Parking Zone" was the only available area to park.
When he returned to his car, the geezer was out, had a right go at him. My son pointed out that he didn't own the highway and anyone could park there and his home-made signs meant nothing and had no legal standing.

He went into a rage, shaking, stuttering, yelling obscenities. My son laughed, shook his head, got in his car and drove away, with him still shouting and swearing and threatening to block him in next time.

Hmm, think our renter is worse than your owners :rotfl:

I think when renters have a home that is long term, they are far more likely to look after it like any home owner does. But that is becoming less common now with the way things are going with council and HA housing being sold off and not being replaced, and even where there is some, people are not being given long term contracts any more but so called starter contracts and so on.

Therefore with a feeling of temporariness there is far more likely that they will not feel settled and therefore not care for the house as if it was their real home. This is a political problem that is getting worse.
