Would it UR to put a sign on my neighbours garage which is directly below my bedroom….he lives in a totally different apartment block

Bit of a dull post….

But for the past two weeks every weekday without fail between 5:30-6:00am the garage directly beneath my bedroom gets opened and is shut again within a few minutes. Clearly no car is being driven out of the garage. I know its a neighbour who does this and i am 90% sure he gets a stand up e-scooter(fkin hate the things) out to head off to work. This neighbour doesn’t live in my block but in the 1st one on our street with his family. He obviously pays the monthly fee for a garage and was allocated the one below my flat. Would it be UR of me to put up a note requesting he take the item (escooter) he gets out of the garage every morning to his basement(or gf’s garage located beneath their flat) We are all allocated a decent basement space in each building that can be locked. Or that he move it to the bike rack space also located in their building. I get up with DS at around 6:30/6:45 each morning for school/work but lately he and the dog have been waking up far earlier because of this early noise.
So….
YABU - He pays the fee and was allocated this garage so is entitled to keep/get out whatever he needs whenever he needs it.
YANBU - I can put up a sign (politely) asking him to store the item in his building given the multiple storage options available.

How about this for a possible approach...

If you can engineer a casual conversation, when he says "How are you doing?", could you laughingly say something along the lines of "Bloody knackered lol! Its so annoying that these garage doors are do crap, I'm waking up every morning because they are so noisy, the management company really should do something about it!!"

That gives him the opportunity to understand what is happening, but you are not framing it in a way that suggests that you think it is his responsibility or that you are expecting him to change his behaviour.

Hopefully, it will prompt him so say something along the lines of "Oh no, I had no idea, that's awful. Perhaps I could look at storing my scooter elsewhere?". But if he doesn't acknowledge it in any way then he is making it clear that he isn't going to change, and you are sadly going to have to look for your solution elsewhere (either by trying to fix the noise, getting earplugs, or sabotaging his scooter!)

I just find it odd he would store something he needs every morning a short walk away from his own place.

But just because you find it odd, that doesn't make it reasonable for you to tell him to stop doing it. It's not really any of your business why he does it; he's entitled to use the garage in this way if he wants to.

yup, it is illegal, the only legal ones are rental schemes and on your own property

I understand! And i know i have made it my business because the garage happens to under my flat. The casual conversation is probably the best scenario. I think if DS gets an invite i will try bring it up and if it changes anything thats a bonus i suppose.

They should absolutley be made illegal but here from 16 you can rent them with the apps. They are all over the place on them, in the middle of busy roads, in the cycle lanes. Its such mess because people just abandon them anywhere when their done, so there all over the streets as well. And they are really silent so you dont hear them either. Last weekend I saw the neighbour out on his with his toddler between his legs. They werent on a main-main road but still, so flipping dangerous. She had a helmet on but i think she is 2 nearly 3yrs old.
