Hi is anyone out their either going through or have dealt with the landlords with regards to continually housing bad tennants and could offer me any advice plz? I have a 1 year old baby and have to share a communal hallway and main front door with my upstairs neighbour I live in a maisonette and it's like sharing your upstairs with someone you don't know where it's a split house rather than a seperate flat. Iv had such awful neighbours 1 after the other over the 15years iv lived here for including a prostitute a now convicted murderer night shift workers registered methadone users and now a young lady who is actually really nice but has to really large mixed breed staff crosses who I'm really worried about coming near my baby I'm having to time leaving my place so we're all not in porch/hallway bit together. There was also an incident where her dogs only wanted to say hello but i ended up having to run round my car with my baby aa shes really petite and they was pulling her toget to me, her back garden is at the bottom of my driveway And is unavoidable. And then there's the noise of excited dogs jumping about and being let out at night. Im now thinking this isn't my neighbours fault where all the others been horrible people iv just complained about them but this girl is really young and really nice and it's not her fault I'm living like this it's my landlords.

I understand where you are coming from but i dont understand why you mentioned night shift workers

If your baby got sick in the night how would you react if the hospital was shut because no one wanted to work the night shift in case they upset their neighbours

I have a neighbour underneath me who smokes really strong weed though and our flat fills with the pungent smell Last week was really bad.

If you have complaints about noise, dogs in a flat where they are not permitted etc then follow the given procedure.

You can't complain because you don't want to live near certain groups of people. Well you can, but you'll be laughed at.

Is she allowed dogs in her tenancy especially as she is in an upstairs flat? I'd be surprised if she was as most HAs don't allow them unless you have direct access to a garden.

Interested in this thread?

Hi thanks for replying totally agree with night shift workers needed but the main front door is directly by bedroom which me and my baby share and all though he had to work it also ment my baby sleeping pattern being his working hours which was 4.30am.... the methadone users before that regularly fighting all threw the night police constantly at the door as they was all ways getting arrested and every Tuesday bring in back other users from the local clinic also threatening to rob my house ECT the murderer killed a woman and is now in prison and his girlfriend was the prostitute. I feel my land Lord must hate me to keep housing really dodgey people above me and now my baby. In my lease I was allowed a registered pet but I have direct access to a garden. I want to be moved iv bee here 15 years of all ways paid my rent and kept a nice property.
