To fucking hate the scruffy bastards next door!!

Moving house because of awful neighbours.

Just clearing my shed and garden taking all the crap to the tip and discovered the scruffy bastards have been bagging up their dog shit and throwing it behind my shed. There is bin bags full of it and I am not touching it. It's bad enough stepping in dog shit every time I hang my washing out! Never mind having to pick bags of it up.

They usually leave the dog shit in their garden until it becomes impossible to walk through it and then she bags it up in bin bags and has clearly thrown it behind my shed.

No point talking to them about it as I don't fancy being verbally or even physically attacked by the woman (she is completely bat shit).

I am going to phone the letting agents on Monday and explain to them the situation because I don't want the landlord thinking I have left bags of shit that I have put there.

Is there any point in reporting it to someone when I am moving next week?

Fling if all back over to their side - what kind of filthy fucker does that? She's obviously bagged the shit so the logical next step would have been for her to bin it? maybe she didn't want dog shite in her own bin

Not if she uses a proper shovel like a farmer does 😜. Where she would get one might be problematic though .
Otherwise slit the bags, put them all in a bin bag and tip it out over the fence .

Surely it's easy to see who the owner is from land registry documents.

The obvious response is to throw it back, although the way the law is, you could end up in trouble (even though you are just returning what is rightfully theirs).

Your only other choices are to leave it and accept any consequences from the letting agent (even though it is in no way your fault, it is on your land so you are probably responsible for it under the terms of your tenancy agreement, so the cost of disposing of it will be deducted from your deposit), or dispose of it yourself.

My first ever tenant did this, bagged up all the dog poo - he had a St.Bernard it was a LOT of poo - and put it in plastic bags inside the compost bin in the garden. I had to clean it all up. It was the most disgusting thing I've ever had to do, had been sitting in plastic bags in a plastic bin for 6months. Utterly rank. Plus he ruined it for others as I said no dogs after that!

I had tenants, who got two boisterous dogs without discussing it with me. They then complained of a leak coming from the bath. The plumber checked everything and the tenant told him he bathed the dogs in the bath. We then told the tenants they needed to pay the plumbing bill. So they then broke the bath tap and complained again. So I had to replace the broken bath mixer tap. Needless to say I served notice. Luckily the tenants left. But they left the house in an awful state and it had to be redecorated, carpets changed and rubber seals on the windows shredded from the dogs and dh collected a bucket full of dog shit from the tiny garden. Some people are disgusting.

You don't happen to have a dog do you? Just thinking if you decide to leave it they wont think it's you and charge you.

Report them to EH. That's disgusting.

Yabu to be calling them 'scruffy'.
'Scruffy' is forgetting to brush your hair or wearing creased clothing or mismatched socks. Living a life immersed in dog shit is something else Grin

Quite possibly. Our tenancy agreement states we have to keep gardens AND alleyways clean. It's a public alleyway and people dump all sorts down there all the time.
