A lot of sheltered housing is more communal. I have decided that I want to move from my sheltered housing and I'm going to avoid moving to somewhere similar. There is a big communal garden and I was the only one who tended to it.
There's a man who watches me when I am in the garden and every opportunity he can he makes a complaint against me. There was a new greenhouse put up and I put a few things in it, including (temporarily) a wheelbarrow. He made a complaint to the housing officers, telling them that I was using the greenhouse for storage.
They always take everything he says very seriously. I was told by one housing officer that he had threatened to take an issue to the highest level if they didn't deal with it to his satisfaction. I think he sometimes phones them when he's drunk because some of his accusations don't make much sense.
The garden is big and I accumulated a lot of branches twigs etc that I like to burn. I've been doing it for years. I thought I could avoid a complaint by only doing it on Bonfire Night. He phoned the landlord and got them to send round a security guard (on a Sunday!) who made me put it out.
He does nothing in the garden. So no I don't want to move to anywhere communal.
