Neighbour's landlord

lil_jellyfish

I've had years of problems with my neighbours since someone bought the house to rent out. I've logged multiple noise complaints to the council and the police have been out. They already have social services/ local safeguarding team involved with their children and the tenant believes I reported them for mistreating their children, but their support worker assured me that the concerns came from the children's school. The house is managed by a letting agent so I don't know who the actual owner is. 
It sounds extreme but is it illegal to offer the landlord money not to renew their tenancy, so at least he wouldn't be out of pocket whilst looking for a new tenant? 
Or does anyone know of any other ways to persuade him to get a different tenant when the tenancy is next renewed? 
Thanks

A tenancy doesn’t need to be renewed. At the end of the fixed term it becomes periodic if a new fixed term is not agreed. How do you know the tenancy isn’t already periodic?

As above.

Spend £3 with land registry and get deeds with owner name & address.  Might be landlord - but landlord doesn't have to be owner.

Your dispute us clearly with neighbours - followed CaB website advice on neighbour disputes?

And what would you do if this neighbour owned the property?

Even if the LL did not renew the tenancy it would automatically go to a period (monthly) tenancy. The LL would have to issue a S21 notice giving them 6 months notice to leave. At the end of the 6 months the tenancy still does not end. LL Would then have to go to the courts - courts have a backlog so this will add another 6 months. IF the courts rule the S21 was valid then add on a few more weeks for the actual eviction to place. However if S21 notice was invalid in anyway (quite likely if the LL does not really care) the courts will not allow eviction and LL would have to go back to square 1 and reissue the S21 with another 6 months notice.

If you want the tenant out and fairly quickly you would need to be offering the TENANT money (and lots of it) to end the tenancy early.

paying the landlord not to renew would be way forward

Huge breach of confidentiality there by the support worker who should not be discussing their client with you.

I agree, it really shocked me reading that.

I'd like to think it didn't, it is after all the internet and a huge proportion of what is written is probably exaggerated and or made up.

Anyway, paying tenants to leave? Wow, if i were offered money to go from a neighbour who didn't like me, id take the money and stay.
