Hopefully I’m in the right place to get advice but my neighbours obviously have a hoarding issue also it’s a 4 bedroom house and there’s only 3 adults living there should I report them the house is housing association

You're not concerned. You want to cause a bit of drama by reporting two households. At least own it. You're not being mobbed, people are just telling you the truth. Have the courage to be honest.

LlynTegid · 28/06/2023 15:16

A vermin issue or a fire risk, yes report. Number of people in the house no.

Littlroo · 28/06/2023 15:17

His kids don’t visit at all he told me himself. It’s a messed up housing system for sure and I was asking for advice I’ll report the hoarding thanks all

It's not messed up at all

You can't be forcing people to move in and out all the time!

BeCruelToBeKind · 28/06/2023 15:33

I was thinking it’s not right for a single person to have a 3 bed when families are in hotels as homeless etc

Its his home, they don’t turf out people just because some family members move on to live elsewhere.

No I wasn’t being mean I was actually asking advice on here because I know there’s families in hotels homeless etc and the hoarding is a rat issue , several bin bags and boxes outside and when they have work men etc they seem to move so much stuff outside I seen the house through a window and it looks dangerous full of boxes so I am concerned they would get hurt also , it’s two spare rooms they have not just one.
mine is maximum occupied 5 people in a 3 bed

So this is crux of it, pure jealousy.

How come you are overcrowded and how is that not your fault, if they are fault for being underoccupied then you are the opposite way.

We all makes our choices.

Throwncrumbs · 28/06/2023 15:37

How many people live in your house? How many bedrooms do you have? Oh it’s none of my business, just like it’s none of your business about your neighbours!

Are you like my neighbour who must stand on a chair to look out of the side window to see what I’m doing on my patio? I can’t see out of the same window in our similar house unless I stand on a chair(done it once to check), apparently I was giving her dirty looks 😂

EllaRaines · 28/06/2023 15:44

A mother and son, perhaps struggling with life and you want to get them thrown out.

How despicable of you.

On the other side a single man is living in a 3 bed house as his Mrs and kids left him . But I guess I’ll just keep quiet

So?

He can live in whatever size house he likes. It’s his house.

standardduck · 28/06/2023 15:46

You sound like an awful neighbor. It's none of your business.

Hoardasurass · 28/06/2023 15:47

@Littlroo you are bang out of order and really need to but out of other people's business.
Neither of the families can or will be forced to move and you aren't going to get a bigger house as your not overcrowded. However you could put your own tenancy at risk, if you make nuisance complaints about your neighbours (which these would be) add to that your neighbours will eventually find out it was you and your name will be mud in the local area. You will be treated as a pariah.
Basically feel free to grind your selfish personal axe if you want but it will come back on you

Yes, why don't you just keep your nose out?

Calibrate · 28/06/2023 15:49

I guess when you children move out you will be first in line to give up your three bedroomed ho.e and move into a 1 bed flat, hostel or bedsit to free up a family home?

No?

Thought not

ReadingSoManyThreads · 28/06/2023 15:49

You're a busybody.

The spirit of Mrs Mangel lives on.

Should I report neighbours

I think you need to find a new hobbie 🤦‍♀️.

Hoarding is a issue when it’s a eyesore in there garden and the house is also full by the looks of it

I don’t think anyone will take you seriously.. in the kindest possible way you sound like a curtain twitcher.. if the rubbish is a problem can’t you just ask them politely if they are planning on clearing it or if they need any help to the tip etc? I think the 3 people in the house is a total non-issue.

Oooh, please do this, OP. The more you post, the more I genuinely do think you are my neighbour. I would love help to the tip. I could have a car full of stuff ready by the morning.

DeadButDelicious · 28/06/2023 16:00

This is the real issue isn't it OP? Touch of the green eyed monster? If you really want to complain about something, complain about the distinct lack of social housing and leave your neighbours alone.

AgathaX · 28/06/2023 16:00

Goodness me, you've spent a lot of time thinking about things that don't concern you.

MrTiddlesTheCat · 28/06/2023 16:05

Have you thought about taking up knitting or something? You need a hobby.

EachFallenRobin · 28/06/2023 16:05

I live alone in a two bedroom HA flat. Should I report myself? I'm quite messy too.

Fuckthatguy · 28/06/2023 16:06

Do you have any hobbies OP?

Mylifeislikeaboatrace · 28/06/2023 16:09

So the bottom line is you have 5 people in a 3 bedroom and your'e coming across as a bit jealous because your neighbours have more bedrooms.🤔
The council is hardly going to kick someone out of their home if there is no reason to.
Report the 'hoarding' if you must, environmental if there is a health hazard with the bin bags, rats etc. Otherwise get on with your life and stop worrying about other people.
