6 weeks ago new family moved in couple plus kids 2 and 8. Previous tenants with kids no problem. They sound like they are dismantling the house brick by brick. Constant thudding up and down and screaming sounds like they are in the room above me. We are in houses.

BBQs most nights. Even her partner slams the door shut till the bbq is over. That time of year I suppose.

Kids balls toys rubbish and food chucked over 5ft fences into my garden. If I am there chuck it back. It can go on all day.

Older kid keeps knocking on my door 8pm one night wants his ball back I say I have a bad back will throw back when I can. Been at hospital and physio look out in garden no ball so has he been over?

Chucked ball back this am. Home later 5 items in my garden. She is clattering about thudding into fences. I have to wear earphones to sit in the garden. Other people in their gardens the only people u can hear are them.

She has no idea what kids are doing as thy are unsupervised and she shouts from indoors.

She apologised for bbq was a stinker tonight.

So do I gather the items and return to parents and say no more.

Do I contact the landlord and letting agent?

They seem to have no regard for anyone else.

Thanks in advance.

Let's hope it is not a young man adding to his property portfolio, you could end up with a rental property next door or worse a house of multiple occupancy. Could be neighbour knows this and is hoping to get moved before it becomes common knowledge.
We have sixteen rented properties in our street and we get every kind of anti social behaviour, heart breaking really as this was such a lovely area when we moved in.

Mollyplop poor man! How old are they? I hope it becomes more bearable.

Mauriherb. My heart goes out to you. Ask environmental health to send you a form. Fill in the dates and time of nuisance. They can deal with it. Do they own their property? Agree with Alexa. Just an idea do you have community police that you could chat with and make them aware of this intimidation.

Moggie 57. Time to update your landlord and put to them for a solution. Not sure if I would bang on the floor though.

Monica. How selfish. Glad the dog can’t get in that is a horrible worry.

Gillybob. I am a firm believer in gut feeling and not naturally suspicious but if she was a bit sheepish this could be that just mentally she has moved on. Hopefully nothing to worry about.

In the last few days came home to find that some of my fences slats has been moved aside and one of the slats broken leaving a big gap.

Knocked and asked what happened she didn’t understand. hmm I told it ends now no more excessive noise, will not be picking up after her kids. I want the fence repaired. Says her son doesn’t understand about throwing things. Told her Her problem not mine to deal with.

Told her 4 bbqs a week is unfair as I want to open windows, doors and have washing out. She says her husband likes bbqs.

Contacted owner and letting agent who saw them next day. Gave the agent a date to have the fence fixed by. She finally says her husband broke by accident ?

Harrigan. We now have more rental properties and on the whole most have been horrid selfish neighbours. We have had some delightful renters nearby problem is that they want to save for their own home and eventually move on.
