Would they be able to move me?

hello, I live in a first floor housing association flat, With one flat below mine. Been so happy here for the last 8 years until the elderly neighbour below me passed away, 9 months ago they moved a single man in.

It's been absolute hell since, so much so that I don't know where to start.

First night here he seemed to move two men in with him, all drinkers, so loud music, constant slamming of doors until my flat vibrates, People pulling up in cars dropping drugs off at all hours, All sitting in the back garden until 4am shouting and drinking, the men then left after weeks of this.

Then the man moved his son in with him which lasted about two months, Estimating the son was around 11 ish, The fights/arguments/shouting matches began and never stopped until the son once day announced his dad is living in a drug den, next thing he locked his son out in the back garden at 1am with them both screaming at each other, dad telling him to fuck off and he wasn't getting back in, Son then kicked the windows in and most of the back fence. I called the police and they said it was a safe guarding issue for the child but they never showed up.. Son then moved out the next day.

Beer cans EVERYWHERE, I have my own front door and have found beer cans right outside my door just discarded, pee everywhere, all over my bins etc, Found him slumped over against the front of his flat many times passed out covered in pee, I haven't been into the shared back garden since he moved in as he ripped my washing line down, then put a padlock on the side gate that leads to the garden. it was once an actual garden but is now overgrown and full of various parts for bikes, tyres, beer cans etc

Latest thing is he then moved his ex in with him and they were both drugged out of their mind constantly, as soon as they wake up they start screaming at each other, generally about drugs or finding the money to buy the drugs or her accusing him of taking the drugs behind her back etc which is their business but at the same time its impacting me and my life.. an example..

Woken up by extremely loud banging at 1.30am yesterday, it was his ex banging and kicking on his front door screaming to be let in, if he didn't let her in he would 'never get another pill from me again' He didn't open the door and she genuinely almost kicked it in, She was screaming so loud the neighbours across the road came out, she then left screaming 'you fucking cunts' all the way down the street, she then shouted she was going to get someone to come and kill him. I got this on video..

Just now and the reason I'm writing this thread.. she just turned up with a man, heard her banging at the front door, my front door, they then went around the back, when they went round the back I started recording again (they couldn't see me recording, Just put my phone on the table and let it record) Next thing a stone was thrown at my window, then another one was thrown then the man shouted 'open the door you fucking cunt' talking to me, then the woman shouted 'wrong fucking flat, do his not hers at the top' they both then ran off.

I'm missing loads out as would take all night to read through it all..

I know if I reported them there would be repercussions for me, the day he moved in he said that he lost his last flat when someone reported him and it better not happen again etc

For full disclosure I'm single, live alone and am disabled, I'm so scared I don't even go to the shop five minutes away from my flat, I can no longer sleep due to the constant door slamming and screaming arguments that genuinely happen around six times per week. I have found myself only leaving my flat with someone else as he has done other things that have intimidated me such as accusing me of stealing his parcels and threatening to kick my door in if I didn't open it.

If I explained all this to the housing association would they be able to move me away?

This is awful.

Have you contacted the HA at all in the 9 months since this man moved in?

I would think it more likely that he would be moved rather than you.

They need to know. They can support you and help you. I'd talk to them to help understand your options.

Sounds absolutely horrendous, Op. You need to tell the housing association
