Hello im wondering if anyone can help us out with this one where my mother's been living for past 3 years there's been 5 different lots of people living next door to her in that time it's been hell for my family from drug dealers to alcoholics, needles to Windows being smashed basically just a place where you do not want to live and your kids playing it's beyond reason now and something needs to be done the landlord who owns the place does not care at all who he moves in or what goes on aslongs he's getting money in his pocket the place is a total dumbing ground i live in wales now but i worry for my little sister and my family being around all this up england and its sad the landlord is a total disgrace its not the once but 4 out 5 times it's been drug dens for whoever he moves in so I'm asking is there anyway to report this landlord?

The only solution would be to move.
The council and police aren't likely to do anything, and if the neighbors find out who's complaining it will create more of a mess.
Is your mum renting?0 -
report away, what's going to change? I'd like to bet landlord would prefer a nice middle class couple with a goldfish, house is probably a dump, area presumably run down?0
-
Have you ever thought that the owner may rent to the council on a 5 year contract and has no control over who moves in?0

Five lots of tenants in three years.
Even if the landlord is responsible for selecting tenants himself, that sounds like they're leaving/being evicted at pretty much the first possible legal opportunity - six months.0 -
It is not a LL duty to uphold the law.
The police must take action, but only when the law is being broken. If they do not complain to your chief constable, local councilor and your MP."A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members." ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Police/Council have the power to shut the place down see for example this one in Croydon, noise...

- but it's complicated & takes time...
Have you reported the issue to Police & council, if not why not, please?

Why doesn't your mother move? the place is a total dumbing ground i live in wales now but i worry for my little sister and my family being around all this up england and its sad the landlord is a total disgrace its not the once but 4 out 5 times it's been drug dens for whoever he moves in so I'm asking is there anyway to report this landlord?
Report him for what?
If the tenants are committing offences, it's them that gets punished.0 -
Thank you all for your help on this matter the landlord has many opportunities to refurbish the place and get some respectable people to move in I've seen with my own 2 eyes the condition the place is in you get what you pay for as the saying goes and i don't think it's contracted through the council the conditions are way below par for there standard's and the sheer amount of people who have lived there in 3 years just shows what's been happening the street at times has had to come together it's been shocking the alcoholic moved out last week he didn't bother anyone it's been really quiet but in the last few days there's been 5,6 lads in and out and 4 of them where sniffing something in the kitchen the landlord has got to take responsibility for all of this for the fact that no background Checks at all have been the conditions of the house are shocking and its simply just rent to the nearest person basically as for being evicted I highly doubt that it's more likely prison for what there doing on the streets and once 1 lot goes another comes in0
