So single bedroom flats I’ve lived here almost a year nice area finally settling listed are things my new neighbours have done within two weeks of living in this property. Not once knocked door etc. nothing is guessed listed is what I have heard and seen myself.

-1st day council lady gives him keys and says council will be back to turn electrics on this was a Friday- they tripped the electrics great for them not my buisness but very loud breaking into metre cupboards. 6am this went on till.

-day 2 full on party children adults in out smoke drink. Kind of tracksuit trainers party loud chat in out all night

-day 3 Sunday music full vol from 8am

-all week music drilling 4 5 6 people in out

-1st weekend violence trashed place screaming police attended he refused to open door for over a hour more and more police came someone was bleeding and said they needed to do welfare he was telling police to go away (swearing) etc didn’t have to go with police because his mental health. Party carried on once police left

-2nd week each day big huge fire under my windows to discard god knows

-music daily full volume base from Ibiza dance to reagge from 8-9am EVERYDAY. Bank holiday 6am

That sounds absolutely horrendous. Id he is a council tenant, have you contacted them to let them know? I assume you can record stuff on your phone as proof? They sound like animals.

ThisHazelBee · 12/06/2024 22:16

That is extremely anti social. If he’s that way inclined towards police I would avoid directly approaching. Call the police for noise nuisance outside of permitted times and domestic disputes anonymously everytime and log every incident with the council/housing association. Take videos of the noise as evidence.

And there was me thinking being woken up every night by someone else’s baby is rough. Sorry your going through this hopefully he will settle or be kicked out sooner rather than later.

Are you council/HA or private renting?

Are they council/HA or private renting?

LandPuff · 12/06/2024 22:31

But generally, why are so many people so noisy and out of control and behaving so badly towards their neighbours?

DistinguishedSocialCommentator · 12/06/2024 22:34

reprt them to coucil/HA and keep a record of events

Helpme17 · 13/06/2024 12:41

Helpme17 · 13/06/2024 12:45

It’s just completely crazy. Somethings I was worried to post on internet this is the pg explanation

the fact he can do all that to the police then say mental health and not suffer no consequences Dosent sit well with me - worrying to hear “ f you your impacting my mental health go away” to the police and then
and continue to party throughout the night it 🤯🤯🤯

So tricky. I really do feel for you. You could try going to the council? Try another move. Such a difficult situation. I am also in social housing and a few of the tenants are a bit antisocial. Luckily, it doesn’t impact me too much, but I dream of living in a normal house in a normal street, where people behaving a civilised fashion. How old are you? After a certain age you can be moved to 55+ housing have you looked into that for the future (unless you are young of course)?

I’d assume the council gave him a 1 bed flat on the basis that he lived there alone - report to council.

hastalav · 13/06/2024 13:14

Did you or someone else phone the police?

Log every time it happens with the police, they have been out once so will know you are not making it up. Have you spoken to other neighbours about it yet, they may be all fed up, and there's more power in numbers complaining as a group maybe.

I'm so sorry, this type of behaviour in a flat complex must be so aggravating, and it is just so unfair on people trying to enjoy an ordinary life.

ExhaustedHousewife · 13/06/2024 13:58

Horrible for you and the other neighbours, have you actually spoken to the other neighbours in the block? Surely they are being disturbed too? Power in numbers.

Helpme17 · 13/06/2024 13:58

I’m 33. My last move my neighbour had 28 cats in a one bedroom and a gas leak the combination of the urine and gas caused my to grow growths in my nose. Sides that it was drug fuelled block. I don’t want to be a Karen but I also don’t want to hate being at home- yeah I get no neighbours are perfect thanks for letting me vent lol

Because I complained about not being able to breathe in my last place councul didn’t believe it was causing me issues untill I ended up in hospital unable to breathe. 5 years of complaining so I really didn’t want to begin/start complaining again it gets mentally draining

OP posts:
Helpme17 · 13/06/2024 14:02

I have no idea who called the police i didn’t no. That confirmed for me others are hearing/having issues

the smile on your face lets me know that you need me. 7am full volume Sunday morning…. To extreme violence and police

I'm going to ignore your reference to "being a Karen" and focus on the relevant facts.

My advice is to start to build a case file and collaborate with any like minded neighbours. Make this an issue for housing and the police as much as possible, as it's only if these people inconvenience professionals will anything be done.

EatCrow · 13/06/2024 14:04

I feel for you OP, nothing worse than you home life being ruined.

Helpme17 · 13/06/2024 14:05

the two weeks not once has there been only one person in the proprty. I didn’t call the police l. They are bellow me but joined to another flat and houses opposite I genuinely do not want to cause anyone issues but I can’t deal with it 🤯

OP posts:
Helpme17 · 13/06/2024 14:08

Is that offensive a Karen? I was referring to myself - meaning I’m not just waiting for any sound to complain I love music I teach dance myself but just personally wouldn’t put anyone out.

yeah naturally I’ve recordings and between my friends I’ve been showing them the variety of music lol.

just really don’t want the route of complaining listening out worrying it comes draining
thanks for advice

Helpme17 · 13/06/2024 14:10

So it’s not a block it’s a just two flats I’m on the end luckily and they are bellow me.

Pocketfullofdogtreats · 13/06/2024 14:11

It sounds horrendous. Some people are just totally self-centred thickos. You need to log it with the police each time.
Of course YANBU, and no need to use the Karen thing - it's really not very nice.

AstonMartha · 13/06/2024 14:15

What is a ‘Kind of tracksuit trainers party’?

Helpme17 · 13/06/2024 14:19

I wear tracksuit and trainers myself. Even do to a party if I fancy it but my point was it’s not a dinner party / was painting a picture

sawnotseen · 13/06/2024 14:43

Please don't use the term 'Karen', it's derogatory and offensive. I have several friends named Karen and they are lovely, kind, successful, strong women (and mums/grandmother)!
The behaviour is anti social so contact your council with evidence. Use your phone to record.
Look at the Gov.co.uk website and Citizens Advice Board.
Good luck.
