Neighbours from hell stereotype.

[home00]

I caught part of a programme on the raidio where people were encouraged to phone in with their neighbours from hell stories. Invariably it was the person in their private house ringing in about they council tenant neighbour. i have seem the other side of the coin. My council tenant mum having issues with her neighbour who owned theit property. So AIBU ro think this is a horrible stereotype.

Agree - YANBU - we have more problems with our neighbours that own their house than with the council houses near us!

Maybe people are looking out for problems with council tenants because they expect them?

we live on a small cul-de-sac, all are council and we have problems with our neighbours, so council-v-council,
yanbu in the slightest, i've heard so many private tenants moan about their 'neighbours from hell, the ones in the council house' when i remind them that i also live in a council house they change the tone ...i hate being stereotyped as a c-h tenant! some people assume we must all have asbo's! sometimes its the spoiled brats better off in p-h that are the trouble makers

My neighbour is a council tenant and we bought ours from the council 6 years ago, she see's us as the neighbours from hell, because; we allow our ds aged 4 to play in the garden (and I do mean play), we have a car that we park on our driveway that we actually use to take ds to school in the morning. She has complained to the council, the police and the environmental health so many times they don't even bother calling out any more. Everyone else who live in the council houses in our cul-d-sac are lovely, she just spoils it for every one else, it only started when we bought the house.

Yes she is barking! She called the environmental health a few weeks ago to complain that my wheelie bins where attracting rats and had caused a maggot infestation in her hallway carpet. They did came round them, only about the rats as the carpet thing had nothing to do with me obviously, when they arrived she had 2 bowls of cat food on her doorstep that she leaves there day and night but according to her rats don't eat cat food only rubbish
My ds has asd and she accused me of disability discrimination because I opened and closed my car doors at 8.30am to take him to school. Nuts isn't in it!

All the HA tenants in my block have been lovely. 2 sets of private tenants have been druggies, the last lot were eventually dragged out by the police. Thankfully there are lovely young families in those flats now

PS All the privately owned ones are very quiet people I hardly see (although I keep an eye on Old Missis cos she's daft and stroppy and I'm the only person she'll actually speak to regularly)

We live in a block that's part council, part private-owned, our neighbours are lovely. But the rent is really low for the area, apparently because people do stereotype. Nice for us, right?!

YANBU! We're HA tenants on a new build estate. Our next door neighbours and next but one neighbours are either private tenants or homeowners (not completely sure), they house share and are all teachers. The contempt with which they treat us is unbelievable! DH works (but is obviously lower than them being a minimum wage security guard ) so it's not even as if we're on benefits (not that that is justifiable just typical stereotype). My old neighbours from hell who used to live on the other side (thankfully now moved out) were private renters!
