Hi,
I will begin by outlining the primary issues I am having with my new neighbours first then add a bit more context at the end.
-
The children aren't attending school most days (not really my business but a central problem).
-
The two younger children (primary age) are constantly screaming, slamming internal doors and making an absolute racket. I'm listening to it right now. This goes on until late at night (No routine in family, see point 1) to the point where we can no longer sleep without white noise. I can hear it over my TV in the evenings sometimes.
-
They are leaving the backyard in a total state. Obviously some of our rooms overlook this (terraced property). They have two dogs, and a week+ worth of dog-shit is now out there currently.
Context:
They are tenants. The mum has broken up with Dad in the past couple of weeks. All three of the issues I have posted were present since the day they moved in, but have worsened in recent weeks (understandable). Frankly, they have no respect for themselves and previous behaviours clearly show they have no respect for us or anyone else on the street, so directly engaging with them over any of this will not lead to a resolution.
Added context to paint a clearer picture:
Mother loves to fag at the backdoor, just like those classic adverts of how not to give your Children lung problems that were prevalent on TV ages ago(take it right outside etc).
-Her rare attempts to get the children into school often amount to 8:45 screaming matches along the lines of "get your fucking uniform on or I will fucking smack you" - direct quote from last week.
Primary age children, and can constantly here them screaming things along the lines of "that was fucking funny" at their cartoons. Parents don't care clearly.
I leave for work at 6am and it's not uncommon to see at least one of the children is still playing Xbox from the night-before.
- Kids are often getting left alone with young teenager (3rd and eldest child), which probably exerbates the noise problems.
- We've already had to express our dissatisfaction a couple of times through the wall when they started noisy hammering and DIY at 11pm mid-week. Obviously when it's children making noise it's a more delicate subject matter I would prefer not to have a conversation about.
Naturally the aged terraced property is to blame for the majority of my gripes and frankly some of it/maybe even the majority is none of my bloody business. However, I'm fed up of the noise primarily, we have a Toddler and undoubtedly disrupt them unintentionally at times, but we have had previous tenants nextdoor with young children and their noise was far more tolerable.
I would quite like to see them move on, I'm hoping this may happen on its own accord but am wondering if there has been a threshold crossed which could justify them being evicted?
