We in the same row as a rented food takeaway. There are flats above his property and several at the side with a shared outside space. All same landlord.
The takeaway is on a complete war path about bins at the moment and sending customers after residents to accost them in the shared area as well as approaching one residents himself.
The bins are all either in a shared space or by individual front doors.
There are four bins behind his takeaway. His huge industrial bin, an industrial bin from a shop across the road who arranged with previous shop owner to leave it there as they have no outside space, an abandoned recycle bin dumped and belonging to non of us, some fly tipping done by non residents (we have had builders dump stuff there previously after jobs) and one single residents bin who lives above his shop He is angry that any of the bins but his are behind the property and this is our fault apparently. He is angry the one residents bin is very full. It was pointed out that the residents bin is full of his customers rubbish as he does not provide a customer bin. He said that is not his problem.
He is annoyed that residents have bins outside of their properties of the flats at the side of the back of his takeaway and does not want to encourage vermin while his large own bin is there... When pointed out his bin was there he said he pays hundreds for his business bin. Presumably that makes it immune to vermin.
All the properties do have a bin area at the end of the long shared space however now residents have three bins each not all bins fit in there, the bin area is also pitch black at night and unsafe to use and is frequently overgrown with nettles. Various residents have damaged clothes.
Hence most residents of the flats have their black bins by their properties and just have recycle bins the bin area.
He is not happy with this.
He also approached one resident and asked her to help move the fly tipping from the back of his shop and clean it up/wash area.
Aibu to think he is being ridiculous and would you have a word with the landlord to make him aware should it escalate?
Or are residents in the wrong?
