HMO had two people who constantly drink

[Odrama456]

I live in a not so great area of town but the streets around me are generally ok.

The house two doors down (about 20 metres away) is a HMO (house of multiple occupants, single rooms let to adults).

it used to be young professionals etc, but recently it’s had two people who are 30/40s and just spend their days drinking at the front of the house.

if I leave the house they are looking in my direction. It’s a six bedroom house - no one decent will want to live with them, so it’s going to become a doss house full of other people like them. They have a back garden. The street is full of children and in my opinion I don’t want them to see this.

the two people sit on the wall adjoining the other house, I would hate to live next to them.

AIBU for thinking that it’s acceptable behaviour and should I call the property manager?

Yes that’s not a bad idea….. issue is it’s winter soon lol.

ok shall I be more explicit?

They don’t work. They drink all day. They are in their 40s and renting a room in a home.… could their life be any less stable?

*It’s a HmO and yes they have less rights.

issue is now that class of resident lives there, other people won’t want to move in.

so soon I’ll have 6 people living in a House, all not working….*

Okay OP at first I thought ooo yeah maybe they are drunk giving you evils.... now what I actually think is that you are turning your nose up at them and they have picked up on that silver spoon hanging out your arse...

What business is it of yours?

You just sound so judgemental.

If they want to drink in their own bloody garden that's up to them, unless they are upsetting you or your children which it doesn't appear they are.

Sounds quite stable to me.

I'd be wondering if they were ex offenders?

🤣

This

🤣😂

Everyone giving you a hard time are the same who would complain if it happened to them. What can you do? Find out who the landlord is and see if tenancy agreements include use of front garden.

I think it's fair enough if people disagree with the OP but there's some weird gaslighting going on on this thread, suggesting the OP is stalking her neighbours or that there's something wrong with the way she looks and that's why the men are staring. Not necessary.

It’s a HmO and yes they have less rights.

1. no they don't
2. it's 'fewer'

So they don't work and drink all day and night, 24 hours a day 7 days a week, look at you and approach children?

Have you not approached the Landlord? Ask him/her to only rent to employed non drinkers?

I'd love to know how being in an HMO means you can't sit in your garden because you have less rights.

Why would tenants not be allowed to use their front garden?!

And why does everyone think the problem would disappear and the remaining rooms would be more appealing to rent if they sit in the back garden instead?!

Or OP should keep her nose out and get on with her day. Are you seriously suggesting she should stop these people using their front garden. I know let's make a new rule that all the low class scum are made hide away in with their filthy tins.

They can't afford a house of their own, how dare they use a front garden

No I wouldn't.

I sat out the front earlier with a tin (of lemon Fanta) because my front garden gets the sun in the evening 🤷🏼‍♀️. I spoke to the kids that were playing.

Didn't think I did anything wrong?

How can you deny being judgemental when all your replies are exactly that?!

You must be on the wind up now?! 😂

Lowering the tone of the street, alcoholics, in their 40s, unstable etc etc

Yeah, not judgemental at all 😂😂

The person I quoted said it was deteriorating the area and that who I was replying to, not you.

Complain to whom?

The OP actually thinks she has a right to stop this happening.

When did it become staring? She started off upset that they looked at her.

Maybe your neighbours know the bloke you did a runner from in the beer garden

Careful OP will have you off for a breathalyse.

I had a can of rockstar and spoke to a wean on the street who was super cute and said hello. Outrageous.
