Report neighbours to landlord?

Had these neighbours since Dec 22, tick a lot of crap neighbours bingo card (noisy kids, yapping, howling dog, park where they like). Have tolerated their crap so far but when they let their 2/3 year old out in the garden to scream, shout and bang at 8.10 on a Sunday morning my tolerance level stopped, so I opened the door and shouted shut up. These people are renting the property privately. Is it worth contacting the landlord (I know who it is) or just not bother?

You lost me at shouting at the kids but you haven't approached the adults

Well good job it wasn't you then! I've asked a question and people on here are getting their knickers in a twist over something that doesn't affect them in the slightest. Oh my lord, I raised my voice to a toddler, how awful. You're probably an inconsiderate person yourself. Birds of a feather and all that. Sure you're not next door?😊

You'll get nowhere on here OP. The days of people actually considering their neighbours are long gone. It's all "no-one will tell me what to do, I can do what I like". There's already been someone on here saying they let their child out early morning to make noise, doesn't give a shit about the neighbours who work all week etc. Go out and cut your grass when their kids in bed in the evening. Can't beat em, join em.

I did say something, I told the child to shut up as his parents couldn't be bothered. I didn't say these children should be locked up inside all day, everyday. But is it too much to ask to keep their children inside on a Sunday morning until a reasonable time, as some people might like a lie in? Or is it a case of we're up so sod us?

You told the 2 & 3 year old toddlers to shut up however you’ve said nothing to the grown ups? Wow. You need to put your big girl pants on and speak with the adults. Do you not think you should do that before going to the Landlord… I’m also interested in what you think the Landlord will do. Evict them?

You posted on here, people have responded and we’re the ones getting our knickers in a twist about something that doesn’t affect us? Why are you coming on here for our opinion then when you know this doesn’t affect us and clearly don’t want responses?

Well yes actually shouting at someone else’s toddler rather than you know, being an adult and going to speak to the grown ups next door, is awful. I’m not inconsiderate at all actually, and all the neighbours on our street have amazing relationships and even friendships with each other, but I suppose thats probably because we are all functioning adults who speak to each other rather than shouting at each others kids over the fence :)

oakleaffy · 07/07/2024 16:37

@Bluebirthdaycard I empathise!
A couple of screeching bangers near us- It’s so utterly mindless to hit stuff with sticks while screeching-
Children should be taught to play intelligently- The dog too sounds Ill trained.

Good luck!

Heronwatcher · 07/07/2024 17:03

I can’t tell how bad the dog was but a child in a garden after 8 is in no way unreasonable. Yes agree the parents should be asking them not to scream but sadly some kids are just noisy when they play and often the parents telling them off just creates more noise! Especially at the moment when the weather is so unpredictable and kids are shut indoors for hours watching it rain I think you’re a bit unreasonable to shout at the poor child.

Plus as others have said, this in no way would count as a noise nuisance or a breach of the lease (unless it’s a very odd lease), so I’m not sure what you’d expect the landlord to do. And the next set of tenants could be music until 4am drug dealing car repairs in the front garden, weed smoking in the back garden neighbours so be careful what you wish for.

Marblessolveeverything · 07/07/2024 17:12

You seem to think roaring at a toddler is acceptable. It isn't in any universe, how dare you shout at an innocent child.

Shame on you and if theres footage of that on a ring camera etc I would expect it to be posted in local Facebook group in retaliation.

I would be wary or complaining because if there is evidence or witnesses to your very unreasonable behaviour I would completely dismiss you as a Karen.

I didn't scream, I shouted and yes it did achieve what I wanted, thanks. The unreasonable ones are their parents who allow it to get to the stage where I lost my rag. If I allowed my kids when they were young to do it at that time of the day, I would've expected the same reaction from a neighbour but then I have consideration for others.

Toddlers shouting while playing = normal

You shouting at toddlers playing = unhinged

OP you are REALLY not coming off well, you go to the landlord or council they are going to think your nuts and your more likely to end up with a police presence if your harassing children.

Being in control of 'your rag' is ENTIRELY your own responsibility, if you are having issue handling these angry outbursts then see a Dr.

housethatbuiltme · 07/07/2024 17:45

Also OP when you ask a question and everyone thinks you where unreasonable it makes more sense to realize you where actually unreasonable than to think a whole bunch of strangers are somehow conspiring against you.

If one of the parents was actually in the garden supervising them, it would of been them I had a go at. You're defending these idiots who also allowed there cherub to race up and down the road on a trike, yes in the road, which has a bend, that one of their many amazon prime vans could've easily raced round and run him over but dad was just stood in the porch having a fag a good forty foot away from said bend. But I'm the bad guy so you just crack on.

And I actually have a good relationship with my other neighbours and the other side of us who have a six year old but they actually parent their child funnily enough.

Yes how dare I shout at an innocent child who in about 13 years is going to be a totally out of control teen due to crap parenting.

You’re coming off really badly here. You can’t even converse with adults virtually without sounding aggressive. Good luck to you, seems like you’ll need it

Harassing children?Jesus Christ shouting once in the nineteen months they've lived here. You and some of the other posters are the reason kids are out of control today because they're allowed to do as they damn well please.

This has got to be a troll. You can’t verbally abuse a toddler and think that’s okay. It’s a wind up.

No I'm not a troll, I think you and a few others are though. If I'd shouted "shut the f up you noisy little c" is verbal abuse, telling them to shut up is not.

What is actually wrong with you to shout at a little 2 year old to shut up?

You sound like a nasty intolerant person. The kids won't be so little forever. Playing out in the garden at 8am is perfectly reasonable and the landlord will probably secretly laugh at you if you complain about that.

MikeRafone · 07/07/2024 19:06

Bluebirthdaycard · 07/07/2024 08:53

To also add, a couple of times (the last being) couple of weeks back when we had the hot spell she went out all day, leaves all the windows and back door open which is when I hear the dog howling and whining, surely the landlord wouldn't like the fact the house is left unsecure when no one's there?

why? Its not the landlords belongings in the house.

And you have just answered my problem, they won't be little forever and when they're older and outside my house booting a football about everywhere and racing up and down on dirt bikes, I'll probably still get the crap I'm getting on here because they're just children and I'm just a nasty old cow.🙄

No and it's fine that the dogs whining and howling as well because that's just what dogs do so I should just put up with it, this has just become a free for all now.

No I'm not a troll, I think you and a few others are though. If I'd shouted "shut the f up you noisy little c" is verbal abuse, telling them to shut up is not.

If someone in a position of authority, even my own boss, told me to “shut up” I’d report them. It’s totally disrespectful and downright rude. Especially if they have made no prior attempt to tell me I was annoying them. A normal person with manners and healthy conflict resolution skills would say something to the effect of “please could you be quiet, you’re being too loud” then escalate to the parents if that didn’t work. Or even speak to the parents first.
You can’t be a genuine poster if you can’t recognise your own hypocrisy, or maybe you are the kind to tell a shop worker just trying to do their job to “shut up” and still think that’s acceptable because you didn’t drop the c-bomb.

These responses are getting beyond ridiculous now. Yes that's the reason and I hate renters so much because when the house the other side was being rested I wished at least 3 tenants had actually bought it as they were such nice neighbours. I don't have a problem with renters, I have a problem with ignorant, disrespectful, non parenting idiots. I'm not replying to anymore of your comments, I hope one day you have people like these next door to you, so you know how it feels to be on edge in your own home 95% of the time.
