I live in a upstairs flat
Downstairs is another tenant.
This tenant has dumped rubbish around the side of property -including a old front door with his number on and bags of rubbish.
The fence around the side of property leads on to the same housing association as mines multi storey building gardens.
They aren't maintaining the garden at all and a tree has grown on to my roof causing extreme noise.
I can't sleep and it's damaging the roof.
I told the housing association who told me till the rubbish is moved they won't do it.
I explained it's his rubbish (the door as his number on) they tried to get In contact and his ignored them.
So I moved as many bags as I could (which were covered in maggots /spiders and god know what else ) but I can't move the heavy items his left (and why should I )
The housing association have said the bins are filled with the wrong rubbish (his bins ) and till they are put in the correct bins they won't carry out the repair.
I opened the bins and there's all sorts in there and I'm not touching it (maggots -spiders etc and god knows what )
She said it's a tenants responsibility to move rubbish
So I told her I agree and as a tenant I dispose of my rubbish accordingly and asked why my repair isn't being carried out because downstairs doesn't do the same
She had no reply
He has dumped a sofa too and chairs etc which she told me I can pay to have removed
I can't afford it
It's just driving me mad
I'm not sleeping because of the noise
Do I stop paying my rent till it's sorted ?
What do I do ?
