To hate hate my neighbour

[dublingirl66]

Hello all

We live in a quiet area
Very little happening

My neighbour was a quiet man who get ill and is sadly now in a care home
Before he went to the care home his family got a grant to do his house up
Now - his nephew has moved in
His nephew who spent 10 years in jail for making bombs (well known case in the area)
Awful I know i am being unkind he just makes my skin crawl
Today he has decided to spend all day burning tyres in his garden tyres?! Like why not take to the skip?
Sorry for rant
I just need to get it out somewhere
My family not happy but they just say nothing

Isn't burning tyres illegal? I'd just report him for anti-social behaviour.

I want to but it would case more trouble
A girl down the road told him to leave her alone they previously were engaged and he threatened to burn her house down
Everyone petrified of him 😢😢😢😢

Move! But you will always have the risk of difficult (to say the least!) neighbours. This is what our society has become!

It's illegal to burn tyres and the smell will permeate a large area. The Environment Agency would look at this as would the Fire Brigade due to toxic fumes. I would phone 999 in this instance if it's ongoing atm.

Is his uncle the home owner? He sounds like a nightmare, I'd be weary of starting thread if he is well known for a crime and has been threatening neighbours.
I'd worry someone might identify you as his neighbour.
I'd have a quiet word with the police to make them aware he is a loose cannon.

I'm not moving
He is causing the trouble

I think another neighbour rang police
They were over with him earlier

No idea how he can stay at his uncles place but I just need to cope and hope he moves on 😢😢

You're right don't move. I wonder is he in there illegally or just while they sort out the house. Are you in Ireland if the house is wrapped up in the fair deal scheme he may be in it until his uncle passes.
Does his uncle have any DC. I doubt nephew has power of attorney, do you know any other members of the family?

I never understand why people refuse to move house In these situations.

Life is too short for this shit. If he is there permanently it will just get worse. You will never win. In extreme cases I would always move rather than spend my life in a war with horrendous neighbours.

I feel for you. I hate my neighbour with a passion!

Hello

Not sure what the scheme is
He has family down the road
They are decent
He is the crazy one
Sadly leaving is not an option I fled d v with a young baby so my options are limited to where I am
I just am stopping myself from snapping at him and trying to stay quiet 😢😢😢😢

He's not worth it try to ignore him, let the police know you feel intimidated in case you need them in a hurry one night. He'll probably end up back inside soon enough, stay calm and avoid until it changes, hopefully the house will go up for sale soon.

You only have three options OP:

Put up and shut up.

Move asap.

Confront him when he causes problems.

Problems like this that you wish will go away quickly usually don’t. He’s on to a good thing, so why would he move?

Are you in council housing?

No we are in the countryside
His house was rented by his uncle
V odd

Stay put
Shut up
And stay out of his way

I think his days out of jail are numbered but who knows😢😣

Why do people say just move? Not like you can just unsticks at a whim it costs money. I certainly couldn't afford to just move.

The street on the side of me is getting roadies since lockdown, had police and ambulance out other night, more shouting at random times in the day.

Why can't people just live without drama.

Even my next door neighbours can't help themselves and they don't talk to each other they shout at each other so much so I can have my double glazed windows and doors closed be right at the end of my room and I can hear their conversation word for word from their open kitchen door. Its ridiculous...thats not a normal talking voice.

I didn’t mean just move as if it’s easy. I said in extreme situations.

Awful neighbours can impact on every aspect of your life. I couldn’t live beside very noisy neighbours because I work from home.

I have seen people’s mental health suffer because of horrendous neigbours. My aunt sole the house she loved when she realised she dreaded going home, lived in limited rooms and never spent time in her beloved garden.

I know it’s expensive, but if you can possibly afford it, it’s best to move on rather than give your life over to it.

His house was rented by his uncle So they don't own the house. Are you in Ireland assuming from your username? If you are contact the prtb they is some paperwork by email you can access the landlords address it is up to the landlord to ensure there's no antisocial behaviour at the property.
Write to the LL advise him on his tenants past and present behaviour.

Has he no sense of smell?

Yes in Ireland

That is v good to know thank you
I'm going to think about speaking with LL
Police are around most weeks just sad really
When he arrived I said to myself just say nothing who are we to judge
But
The flipping tyres why?
And the threats to another neighbour 😢😢
I fled abuse so lucky to have this place

It has been my safe haven for so long

I had to contact them for a landlords address the tenants are now perfect gone from slinging vodka bottles and storing rubbish to model tenants.
Definitely email them tomorrow it is good for them to have a record also email the local council as they might be paying the rent from his uncle unaware he is a tenant.

Ideas did your aunt ever regret it?
I love my house but have really begun to hate the area......

He sounds like a psychopath (what with the bomb making) and disposed towards violence. I can see why it’s so upsetting he I ruining your safe haven.
Bar the tyre burning, do you bump into him much? It’s been so warm but once autumn comes he’ll be forced indoors. Do you think you’ll hear much from him or is there other anti social behaviour?

I'm always reminded of MN's middle/upper class audience on these threads. Like everyone is in a position to simply move. If moving were no biggy then no one would ever complain about shitty neighbours as they'd be too busy packing and making preparations to uproot!

Great idea thank you

When we walk by he is standing at the doorway waving at us
Tries to appear as the perfect gent

Can't post more details re bomb but it was let's just say one of the largest operations recovered in a long time 😢😢😢

I fled D V with a newborn to here
And really it has just been heavenly in many ways

Why do people burn tyres? The mess it has made is just truly awful why not take to skip I never got that

Op re the tyre burning, I used to live next door to some utter scumbags who were constantly burning stuff. They were obsessed with bonfires and would burn tyres as well. Mind boggling.
