Hi, I am looking for some advice on my housing problem.
I have lived in my 2 bedroom council flat for 3 years now. There are 6 flats in the block spread over 3 floors. I am on the top. 3 of the flats have families with young children in, 2 are single middle aged men. 1 of the men is lovely. The 1 opposite me is not.
He is an alcoholic and doesn?t work. He constantly plays loud music, shouts in the hall and slams doors. He has strange visitors day and night who ring my buzzer when he will not let them in and are generally rude. There is also a young girl that comes - about 13. She shouts abuse at people and in the past has threatened to kill my kids and trash my car!!
Well, about 2 months ago I complained. We met up in the estate office with the manager and he agreed to be more considerate and not have visitors after 7pm. Everything was ok for a few weeks but has steadily got worse since then.
Last night at 2am after he had already woken my baby twice I went out and told him to shut up or I would report him. I shut the door and he shouted something about speaking to him not the estate office. I tried to speak to him this morning but he slammed the door in my face so I phoned and gave details of the recent incidents to the estate manager.
I am terrified of this bloke. He is so intimidating. I just want to get out of here.
I already have 2 girls and a baby due in December so the estate manager said when the baby comes she can do a management report to get us moved. But December is a long way away and I am scared to leave my flat.
I can?t afford a mortgage or to rent privately. I just don?t know what to do
