Barking dogs/Aggressive neighbours

Tell thier landlord as I assume it is rented.

Noisy neighbour/dog issues are nothing to do with the landlord.  If the property is owned and not rented would you expect the mortgage provider to get involved?

According to this:
Landlord and tenant rights and responsibilities in the private rented sector - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Be considerate to the neighbours

You can act against your tenants for anti-social behaviour if they are not considerate to their neighbours.

Yes, but what does that actually mean? 'You can act against your tenants', act in what way? As far as I'm aware, the only recourse a LL would have against a tenant is to evict them, and is that honestly likely to happen mid-contract?  What notice would the LL serve on the tenant to evict them based on a dog barking?

Don't ask me.
I didn't write it.

But it does contradict this statement (which was the point of my post):..

...and it is from an official source.

Who is the landlord? Is it private or social landlord? I had success complaining to housing association about noisy aggressive neighbour. Luckily he had already been to court re noise issues (and the housing association still moved a vulnerable disabled couple in next door after having to move the last tenant out for safety reasons from the aggression) so there was a LOT of history, and they did threaten him with eviction unless he immediately changed his ways. Weirdly, after being incredibly aggressive, he became super nice, even helping us with a heavy delivery once without being asked.

So sometimes landlord intervention can help. But.... be careful, there is the possibility of it backfiring and the aggression getting worse. We were so desperate and the aggression was so bad we had no choice. There is also a worry for a landlord that if the dogs aren't being disciplined then they may be causing damage to the property - I've seen dogs chew on the bottom of doorframe, cause damage to carpets and kitchen units and of course damage to any furniture owned by the landlord. Does the landlord know they have dogs? Many landlords won't allow them, so they may not know.

But as others have said, logging, recording the noise disturbances and aggression, and contacting the police when they are aggressive.

I don’t see why anyone would be concerned about a ring doorbell unless they had something to hide.
