Hi all
Am I being unreasonable here? I don't know-please help!
The flat below me has been empty for a long time but now is occupied. Young couple - seemed fine. I am a single mum & really busy!!
When the couple moved in they left some furniture & junk in the (shared by me & them) front yard. I asked them to remove it. They did after 3 weeks & apologised for the delay. Then the smell of cannabis (skunk) started to come through the floorboards - I had a quiet word & the smell went away. Today I came home after 2 days away & the smell has returned. No chance to talk to them yet. A week ago they adopted a dog. I was in all Monday morning & the dog had major separation anxiety (they were out) & barked/howled for 4 hrs non stop! Poor thing was distressed & so was I after 4 bloody hours.
Finally they are filling up the front yard with rubbish & recycling but seem to have no idea when it's collected. Local seagulls will love ripping up those bin bags later. I'm starting to feel like a really annoying neighbour who has to talk to them all the time BUT feel like the noise, the smell, the rubbish is impacting on mine & DD's life now. I have their landlords number & he said to call if any there are any issues with the new tenants. Should I have a word (again) with them directly or go straight to the landlord? Feel exhausted as have had to talk to them about 3 issues in as many weeks.... But as they are young (and seem a bit clueless) feel maybe one more chat might make them aware of the impact on us?
