I own a small end terrace house on a 1980's estate. I bought it to rent out. When my 20 relationship ended last year, I moved in to this house. I had been living with my partner in a huge detached 18th century house with an acre of land. It was always going to take some adjustment to go back to town living, but my neighbour has made the whole experience somewhat more miserable than I expected.
She is a single Mum to 2 primary school aged children. She has a variety of male "friends" (as she describes them). They smoke weed right outside my front door. She drops litter from her car onto the floor and leaves it there. She has 3 dogs that are constantly barking and never walked. Her kids have an alexa in the garden which is screamed at continuously. She allows her visitors to park in an area that is meant for car turning meaning everyone is having to do 23 point turns to access their car parking space. She swears constantly using the f and c word in the garden for the whole estate to hear, her "friends" are the same. She leaves her kids until the early hours whilst she is in the pub and all weekend every weekend. Her kids play out and are often in my front garden (open plan) shouting and screaming. One of her male "friends" has several restraining orders against him against nice women who have crossed him in a professional capacity. She holds a position of authority locally and has abused it for her own gain but nothing has been done about it. She privately rents but I am too frightened to report her to anyone based on how her and her friends behave. I live alone with my dog and feel vulnerable.
I am going to sell up and find somewhere else to live once I have got myself sorted out. It has really not helped with the process of moving on with my life.
I am terrified of moving somewhere else and getting the same thing though!
