Just ignore, they could put out traps on their property if it's a problem. Nobody goes chasing rats to see where they live. Unless you live next-door to something very obvious.3

If more than one a collective noun for rats can be a colony, horde, mischief, pack, plague, rabble, or swarm.theartfullodger said:Catch a rat, walk into agency office, present corpse to agent & thank them politely.I think mischief is the best. 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀0 -
Have you replied to them asking for their evidence, so that 'of course you'll take action if it's anything to do with you'?Oliverthecat said:
Thanks, This is what I also think has happened. At the end of the day it's only a letter and the neighbours rental agency can't do anything and neither can the council. Nothing can be proved that these vermin came from my house. I think they just sent me a snotty letter to put the blame on me if anything got escalated. I've reported the house to the council and the rental agency to the property ombudsman. I don't expect them to do anything, I just wanted to cover myself in case the rental agency escalated itBigphil1474 said:My guess - the rental agency had a tenant moaning at them, so they thought the easiest way to deal with it is to send you a letter so the tenant thought they were doing something.
You know - the right thing?0
