Nextdoor nightmare

[Max1234]

Hi, need some advise-
we moved into a non working farm after we sold our house, partner not long had a bypass so needs peace and quite- when we moved in the bloke nextdoor worked on the farm and never saw him really- he then got himself a gf- who we agreed to sign the agreement so she could live in- from day one she has never spoken to me at all, she ignores you if you say hello- so we stopped bothering-
she kept parking across our shed and being a complete invasive person, when he sister came round they would sit right outside my back door, we all have patios but the rest is communal- Then one day we came back and saw this male from nextdoor mounting a trial cam pointing right into our kitchen windows- so partner made him take them down- next day landlord turns up for a house visit and wanted to look in our upstairs cupboards as apparently there was a smell of weed- we don’t even smoke this happen 3/4 times in end landlord told us it was them complaining- no one has raised any complaints to us they went straight to landlord, so they have been told to leave us alone,
next issue they have now gone and got around 15 chickens in all different coops,every week there’s more and more
they stink and there are no rats too; the guy at the end has cancer and they are all by his back windows So he won’t say anything and has even stopped going outside- what do we do as these people are totally unapproachable and we are sick of the complaints that aren’t even true- but partner still isn’t well enough to move.

Ths set up sounds absolutely awful - so this is old farm buildings split into flats/maisonettes? I'd look to move ASAP.

it's hard to see what exactly you're asking.
are you being unreasonable to continue living there?
are you being unreasonable to live in a weird place where you have to sign some kind of 'agreement' before your neighbour can have their gf live with them?
are you being unreasonable to provide just bits of a story, with loads of typos so -for example- it's unclear if there are NO rats or there are NOW rats?!

what/who is outside the windows of the guy at the end? your annoying neighbours and their visitors? their chickens? the rats?

you haven't told us what your arrangement is with your landlord. do you have a tenancy agreement? what is specified about which land/ parking space/ shed is for your exclusive use, and how the shared areas are supposed to be used? how many people live there altogether? does each household have its own defined outdoor space? are these fenced off or open? are pets, including unlimited numbers of chickens, allowed? is this problematic neighbour a tenant as well? or also employed by the landlord/ related to the landlord? does the landlord live on site himself, or somewhere else?

i had to vote YABU

Why did you have to sign an agreement for her to live there? Is it shared accommodation? Or something like you have your own rooms but share kitchen facilities or something? Is this sheltered housing? How does the guy work on the farm if it isn’t an actual farm?

You’ve said that you all have patios but the rest is communal, so is he keeping chickens on the communcal land? Because he can’t do that. You call the landlord and have the coops removed.

It sounds like a really odd housing situation.

Did you buy the farm and "inherit" a live in tenant farmer type?
Is this a converted series of farm buildings with lots of tenants?
If he's working the farm then why not have chickens?

If there are rats causing a health hazard then you need to go to the landlord yourself.

Sorry it’s not clear in what I wrote-

we rent on a rolling tenancy- we have been her for 27 months- the farm was divided into 3 with separate entrances and patio areas- there was a statement from the estate agents who we rent it from that it was a non working farm ( no animals as they are tying for planning to convert rest) the guy nextdoor works for the landlord on another farm up the road-

theses patios are around 15ft by 10ft and incorporate the entrances also-

the chickens where placed in the communal area just outside of their patio

Just move. Sounds weird. Not a peaceful place at all.

Right. Then go to the estate agent (if they are managing your renting) and complain about the chickens on communal land. Go to the landlord. Start talking about a reduction in rent due to the loss of the communal land since it is now being used for livestock etc. Really not difficult.

It still doesn’t make sense that you had to sign an agreement for the girlfriend to live there? It sound a a bit cult/commune like.

Just move. It doesn’t matter if your man is ill. Do it alone

Your posts make little sense.

Why did you have to sign an agreement for someone to move into someone else's property? Why does it matter if she doesn't say hello?

This is all very odd.

Unpleasant to live there I'd imagine

Having chickens in the country is fairly normal, but if they're on communal land then you need a rent reduction or for them to be removed. They can't keep chickens on a patio.

As for the rest, presumably they can sit anywhere except on your private patio. Talk to them about parking, explain that you need access to the shed.

But they can have whoever they want to stay. If you are expecting them to be silent/invisible, that's unrealistic. They are entitled to enjoy sitting outside.

You shouldn't need to move. Can't you find a compromise.

You say your partner is not well enough to move yet but unfortunately you might have to bear in mind that this situation could be slowing down his recovery. It is a balance between moving now to escape and managing to hang on for a bit longer while he recovers. Of course it is not a fair situation and you are entitled to complain. When you go make sure the landlord knows why you left!

I probably would avoid confrontation by complaining about the chickens since it would be obvious from what you have said that it is you complaining and quite likely this would escalate things further.

He sounds like a real jerk. I’d just move as it’s not going to get any better. Your dh health may improve if you leave the stress behind.

I don’t understand what you had to sign

Why did you sign an agreement for the gf to move in? I'm unclear why you as a tenant would sign agreements for other people to move into other units.

You're not making any sense at all OP. You're speaking in manic riddles
