We live in a house converted into 6 flats. We have the garden flat, although anyone can use the garden. To get to it you have to go through the side gate.
We have a cat and always keep the gate closed, or at least pulled to, as she knows she's not allowed the other side (the road at the front can get quite busy)
We've had some new people move into one of the flats and they take their dog out to the garden two or three times a day. They never close the gate behind them and let their dog go to the toilet right in the garden.
Now I know cats are the same, but at least she does her business right in the corner underneath the bushes, buries it, and we do a weekly clean-up...
It's been two weeks since the neighbours moved in and they've not cleaned up the garden at all - there's dog shit everywhere and massive yellow patches in the grass. Obviously at the moment it's not really garden weather, but during warmer months we spend a lot of time out there so I don't want it to end up a mess.
I've tried to catch them to have a chat but they always disappear before they hear me. WIBU to bring it up with them and ask them to close the gate and to take their dog elsewhere? I know the garden is theirs too but I don't think it's fair to leave it in a state where no-one else can use it.
