    Yes. There is.

    The ManCo could complain to the landlord who may well feel it it easier to find another tenant than have the hassle of all the moaning/complaints etc. - perhaps. perhaps not. But I still don't see how that leads to homelessness. There's nothing to suggest this family would be unable to find another home in the next 6-9 months...

    I know on this estate complaints to the LL about tenants behaviour has resulted in new tenants arriving.

    OP. I agree with the others your OH needs to grow up a bit (rather a lot).



    I did say the same, needs to grow up

    You've established you can't be evicted by this elderly lady, so the next issue is whether you want to live surrounded by people who don't like you because you refuse to stop kicking a ball near their cars and grass them up for keeping pets or parking in the wrong place.

    Having lived in an end of terrace at one time where one particular family down the street kicked their children out with a football that they kicked against our house wall I can vouch for how annoying playing football on a hard surface close to your home is.

    Indeed you did. But you also said "carry on playing football and ignore the neighbours" which I don't think is a great strategy - especially given the OP has said the tenancy is due for renewal next week.

    Sure the OP can hang it out if the LL decides to evict but, at the end of the 6-9 months, they have to find somewhere to live. Maybe not so easy...

    Far better to get the husband to stop and remain on good terms with the LL.

    Victimised? Presumably the pets don't cause problems leading to complaints and there must be room for the extra cars if you can play football there. Does anyone need to use the disabled spaces?

    I wouldn't want someone playing football near my parked car and I'm not precious about my car. Its a car park, not a playground. Trying to cause trouble for other neighbours makes him look like a stroppy child. Whatever the outcome of his complaint against others he won't be allowed to play football there.

    Just read this out to my OH and he claims he only now plays 3:30pm to 4:30pm when there are absolute no cars around, usually the cars are back around 6 ish

    In your first post, you said something about it damaging paintwork and knowing it does - yet he carries on?

    If he’s actually damaging cars, he’s lucky he’s not had his head kicked in! People work hard to pay for nice cars, and don’t need them dented due to selfishness.

    Your partner is being ridiculous.

    It's a car park. Not for kids playing in. If I had my car out there with someone kicking balls out there regularly, I'd bark at them too!

    I suspect she wants to nip it in the bud too - what happens when your 7 old gets a little older wants a little kick around when his mates come over and thinks the car park is normal to do that. You could find yourselves getting a whole lot of grief from other neighbours then.

    This is so easily solved, just as others have said, tell him to take your son to the park and enjoy themselves there.
  • It's a car park. The clue is in the name. I would also be cross. What does your son think of this? Wouldn't he rather go to a park?

    Partner and neighbours are all in wrong

    Partner playing football.

    Neighbours parking in the visitors space.

    All bad as each other yet no-one saying about neighbours, typical.

    It's a car park, for cars. No car park is EVER a suitable place for anybody to be playing football, or cycling, or skating, or hoverboarding. People don't expect people to have the cheek to play football in a car park.

    I'd go mental if I saw somebody having the sheer arrogance to assume they can play football in a car park ... around people's parked cars. So disrespectful it's unbelievable.

    It's a nuisance, a noise nuisance and annoying.

    It's simply not on. Stop it.

    erm its not me playing and I agree !!!! Im socially pleasant and aware of such things and try to be good and considerate neighbour
