I've lived in my property, which I own, for 28 years with my partner. It's semi-detached. We live in the first floor flat of one half of the semi and next door is the whole house. Beneath us is a tenanted property. Three years ago, a gentleman in his late 60's moved in downstairs. He's a retired Squadron Leader, doesn't seem short of money and goes to Spain three times a year for a month at a time (pre-covid). We got on really well to start with. Our back garden is our own private garden but the tenant has access to put his bins out. We invited him to join us for drinks in the garden a few times and we got on well. We agreed that we would take him to the airport for his next holiday and that he would take us to the airport when we would have our holidays. (We have taken him 5 times, so far, and the time we were going on holiday, he told us the evening before that he couldn't take us. No worries, we got a taxi.) Last summer, my partner was in our garden when the tenant came up to him and started shouting, "WHY WERE YOU JUMPING AND BANGING LOUDLY ABOVE MY BEDROOM! IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN! I WILL REPORT YOU TO THE AUTHORITIES! My partner, (astounded) said that it was not us, but he kept on and on saying that it was us and that we were lying. I rang him to say that it definitely wasn't us and maybe he should ask next door. It transpires that it was, in fact, next door's teenager who got excited over a football match. There have been many other incidents with this tenant and he is making our lives a misery. He snores and grunts so loudly that we have difficulty sleeping. It's horrendous. My partner has to sleep in a tiny room that just fits a single mattress on the floor. The tenant smokes at his back door (that looks onto our garden) and it's not nice when we are out there. He coughs and clears mucus like you have never heard before - great when having our breakfast! He constantly bangs doors, too. We have always got on well with previous occupiers and still friends with some of them. I don't really want to have to sell. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.
