Live next door to an Airbnb. Which is annoying enough, but something that drives me insane is that their gate swings and bangs in the wind. I work at home and it makes me jump constantly.
We're in a terrace, where each house has a small yard. The owners seem to prefer to leave the gate open, so that their rubbish company can easily access the yard to collect the rubbish that they leave strewn all over the floor to attract rats.
I did have the owner's number but he seems to have blocked me after I asked him to deal with a smoke alarm that was going off for 12 hours.
Sometimes holidaymakers get fed up and push the bin up against the gate. Sometimes my partner climbs over the wall to do the same thing, but we really don't want to be trespassing on someone's property!
What can I do? It's so minor, yet so annoying. A huge crash, smash and bang when I'm trying to concentrate. It's a large, heavy, 6ft tall gate, so it really makes a loud noise.
