I live in a small detached house in Brighton. Over the last few years morons have tagged my house, and my neighbours. Even climbing on the roof to scrawl on high walls.
My neighbour's daughter is disabled and she was terrified to hear footsteps on the roof. Neither of us is well off, the repeated repainting adds up.
The same people come back again and again, 'uglifying' the street. We live in a high crime area, and their ugly scrawls make this very obvious! The vandalism has damaged the walls with poor recovering/repainting. The walls are a mess. They pop back the very next morning after hours of repainting! Any ideas what I can do?
My son chased one tagger round Brighton. The tagger turned on him and asked why he was in pursuit, 'Get a life!' he said.
The lurid scrawls are so foul, ugly smears on the walls. The same taggers return time after time. My landlord and the police do nothing!

Contact the council to have it removed when it happens. Photograph it and report it to the police, landlord and council every time it happens. Both for the antisocial behaviour and criminal damage aspects.

It can usually be removed with a cleaning solution rather than painted over and over again.

Perhaps your landlord needs to address the access to the roof as well. At the least, you don't want to be liable for any damage they cause to the property.
