Hello everyone,
So, i've been renting my little flat from an housing association for 4 years now, and for 3 of those years i've had an absolutely awful neighbour living in the flat above. I've had everything from loud bassy music day and night, rowdy lads coming and going all night, hammering at 3am (coincidently after i'd reported him), and at one point he was even throwing water out of his window on to people passing by on the street below.
It's taken 3 years of recording everything and reporting it to the housing for them to finally take him to court, this is because they must have given him about 30 final warnings and still he continued, and at court he was basically given a slap on the wrist and told not to do it again.
I believe the housing were granted an undertaking meaning that they could take him back to court if he continued, and guess what, it has! I've since informed the housing that he's STILL continuing to be a nuisance and shown them recordings of the bass noise to prove it but they don't seem bothered at all and i'm worried it's going to take another 3 years of pestering them to do something about it.
Has anyone been in the same situation or have any advice for me?
I live alone and suffer from anxiety and depression and the past 3 years haven't helped at all. I'm at breaking point. I can't move elsewhere as i can only afford council property at the moment and i'm so far up on the waiting list- i've been applying for 3 years and i never hear back. I can't begin to explain how much it's getting me down, having to put up with it day in day out.
