You are going to need to call the environmental health department if they don't clear up the dog mess in the back garden.

Poor you, definitely call the landlord, perhaps they can move them on. Good luck

I would suggest speaking to the landlord in the first instance about the dog mess and explain that if nothing is done then you will be calling environmental health.

Noisy neighbours seems to be a regular issue that crops up on this forum and the general consensus is that there's not a lot that can be done about it aside from making your own home more sound proof.

But you never know, the landlord might end up moving them on, so I would start there.

I had issues with noisy neighbours a few years back but sadly they owned the house so I couldn't contact a landlord. Frequent calls to the police didn't stop the problem. I rented so I had to move in the end.
Definitely contact the landlord - they may not even had asked permission for the dog and most tenancy stipulate no pets.
Keep a diary of noise and incidents in case you need to contact the council.
If the landlord won't do anything, contact environmental health about the mess in the garden, and then the council about the noise.
I feel for you, I've been there.

Do you own the place your staying, if you do, your now obliged to report you have reported the neighbours to the police


Otherwise keep letting the LL know and Environmental health, complain to the council re the noise

If you sell, you are required to disclose iftheer is a dispute or if you are aware of anything likely to cause one, so they would have to disclose anyway.

OP, I would say yes, contact the landlord,let them know that the neighbours are cuaing nuisance and that you will be contacting envronmental health.

Then contact environmental health, about the dog mess.

You say no one can do anythng becuae the dog has water and shelter. Have you actually spoken to the RSPCA or anyone?

The lack general neglect might be something they could look into.

I think it would also be the council / environmental health dept. to speak to about the noise, rathe than the police, although they will probably only be able to take into account excessive npoice that is regualr and happneing at night,

It's one of my pet hates - noisy/inconsiderate neighbours who just go out of their way to be complete ""holes.
I thank my lucky stars where i am right now - no noise/no hassle whatsoever.

I could have (and actually have) written very similar to this in the previous months. Slamming doors inside and out, fighting, arguing etc are some what we went through aswell. We have had a year from hell with ours. The calling the police made things worse in our case, to the point we stopped calling them. At new year though we and other neighbours had enough and I had called police one day and the lady on the phone mentioned a "diary meeting" where I could go and discuss the issues with an officer. I took many neighbours with me, although it was supposed to be a meeting just for me. We fought it together, and happily we won but it was 3 months of even more hell than usual. Houses being fitted with fire proof letter boxes, police called daily numerous times etc.
I would highly suggest as someone who has recently been through similar.. move. It put me through hell to the point I was being physically sick because I had to come home. You could wait it out and hope they move on in their own time, these kind usually do, but at what cost to you? Ours have gone with the help of the police, but I no longer feel the same in my own home. I no longer feel safe outside my house at night even just to put rubbish in the bin.
If you fight it, your best bet is the police for the violence etc. The council can't move as fast as the police (confirmed to me by anti-social behaviour team). Keep a diary, record what you can.

Just to add, we tried the letting agent firstly, to no avail. Police intermittently called but the neighbours didn't let them in. Contacted the landlord who wasn't interested. Contacted the council's anti-social behaviour team. Letting agent and landlord still see no issue despite the police making them move. Don't expect much from their landlord because at the end of the day, they give them money, not you.

I would still definitely try the landlord first though. If it were my house, no way would I want tenants like that living there. I mean, we can only assume the state of the inside of the house. If the landlord cares about their property, they will do something.
