for wanting people to follow the rules

[ScarlettAlexandra]

i am really annoyed with this. i moved from my last home for my neighbours parking their vehicles in our spaces and it got really nasty. we have since moved to a new development where there are set rules about what you can and cant do re: parking and vehicke types its ones of the reasons i bought the house. My new neighbours are basically flouting them even though they have been warned by the developer.

aibu to expect for people follow the rules that are set, and not take the piss.

its been handed to the solicitors now i hope this can be resolved ir ill be moving again.

maybe people should just follow the rules set for everything in life

But you do know, really, that there's no such thing as "rules set for everything in life", surely? Life (fortunately) doesn't categorise itself into strict rules.

Having read some of your earlier threads I realise that actually, you aren't having the happiest of times all round though are you? Which almost certainly explains your current fixation on parking. I hope things pick up for you but I'm not confident that moving to KL is going to do more than compound things.

OP no-one on this thread agrees with you! And you still think your right? Why bother asking?

OP your contined offences against grammar and spelling are, to be honest, freaking me right out. To whom should I report you? You really need to learn your lesson.

i definitely won't be here for ten years. i can guarantee you that.

lentilly

some agreed shut up try reading the whole thread.

Ooh! A biscuit! Could it be that you don't much like it when your skewed views of da roolz are applied to you?

I did read the whole thread, the only ones that agreed were at the start before you mentioned in more detail what the problem was. As in no-one was parking on your drive or blocking you in

OP, can't you rearrange the furniture in your sitting room so your chair or sofa has its back to the window? Would be a lot cheaper and easier than legal fees.

Rules are important, but some rules are so petty and ill-conceived it's understandable why people break them.

OP, you are coming across as a frightful snob. There doesn't appear to be any logistical substance behind your outrage - the van isn't preventing access to your front door or blocking out every scrap of light to your house. It seems entirely based on the fact your view isn't herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plains or at least another fully mortgaged house with a naice 12-plate Audi parked outside. The owner of the van might even be rather be driving round in a Chelsea tractor but, presumably, the van gives him/her the best chance of earning a living and affording the (gasp! horror!) rent on their part-owned home.

'I' has a capital letter. A sentence starts with a capital letter.

They are rules. Try following them.

Seriously? You got a solicitor to write a letter about someone's VAN? They're laughing all the way to the bank, sweetheart.

If the view from your living room bothers you so much why did you choose a house with a car park in front of it? I'm home most of the time but rarely spend much time looking out the window. It would only bother me a huge van parked outside the window and blocked the light. Oh and be grateful you only have parking space and sky dishes to worry about, I was forced out of my home by a neighbour who played loud music literally all night and threatened to beat me up when I asked her to stop it.

Actually some posters did agree.

Coming on late, but I also agree with the op that if the rules say no vans, then they should be abided by. Ditto satellite dishes.

What's the difference really between these rules set out in the property deeds and other rules like the planning regulations and building control regulations?

If it's really the case that people can pick and choose which rules are important to them and that they follow, then what's to stop my next door neighbour from building a house in his garden or a third storey to his house?

It is quite common with new builds for the town planners to out on conditions restricting permitted development rights and specifying hard and soft landscaping. Obviously in this case is not a planning condition breach but the deeds/covenant not being adhered to. I assume the rules were put in place for a reason and if I had bought a property having researched the legal situation I would be bloody cross if others paid no heed to the restrictions.

Just being pedantic, but the rules can't be a legal caveat on the mortgages, otherwise they would extinguish with the sale of a property.

It's part mortgage part rent=affordable housing

Two families I know have the VW Transporters as family cars. They aren't vans! They have 9 seats, that's only one more than most people carriers. YABU and you really need to take up a hobby or something to distract you from petty little things.

yes they can. if all the rules are the same for each property there will be many copies of the rules. also your mortgage company would hold them until the property is bought outright anyway, then you would pay for storage with your solicitor and not store them within your home.

You are beginning to sound unhinged now (and yes, thanks, I'm starving so another biscuit would be great!). You've been told here almost unanimously that you're acting like a loon. Read it over and take it in.

these ate not mpv's they are vans one navy blue no Windows and the other white.

are not ate.

Lentilly? Only beginning? Every post has sounded unhinged.

She still can't explain why vans are so much worse than big cars! I stand by my earlier idea that she needs to buy a house in the middle of nowhere!

I find it really irritating people can't live and let live tbh. I lived in a development like this and was appalled when neighbours began picking on a young man with a works van. It's so petty. I find, though, it tends to be retired people who have time to get their knickers in a twist about this type of thing.

I work full time, volunteer for 2 charities, have close family and friends, and, clearly, a life.

unhinged how?

What's the difference really between these rules set out in the property deeds and other rules like the planning regulations and building control regulations?

The latter are mandated and backed up by law and the democratic process. The former aren't.

I cannot bear people who slavishly follow pointless rules (especially those put in place by a private developer! not exactly the law of the land) and - far, far worse - expect everyone else to be equally slavish.

OP, it's a car park. A beautiful thing to spend all day gazing at whatever parks there

am astounded that anyone would consider moving house over something so petty. however, am sure it is entirely the right decision for you OP so that you can give your poor neighbours a break

if i wanted to live in an industrial site i would have moved to one.
