The council try their best, we're in a block of 6 flats the other 5 are Eastern Europeans, the council sent letters out in various languages (covering all the tenants languages) about the closey door having to be shut all the time, not blocking the bottom of the stairs and not leaving fag ends at the front closey door, they pin the door open with a brick, the bottom of the closey has 2 single buggies, a double buggy and various bikes and they cleaned their fag ends up but have still continued to drop their fag ends at the entrance, they seem to think they don't have to follow the rules xKaylz...lived in a huge terrace in reasonably Central London...all converted into flats...beautiful building...part of the problem is so little noise insulation...sound carried...often felt like my neighbours above were all auditioning for 'River Dance'...lived there for so long got used to it...now moved...small terrace...semi-rural area...never realised how much I tolerated in London...until now...can you speak to your Landlord...Local Authority...most leases/tenancies specifically prohibit noise nuisance...whether you rent or own...no distinction between the two...as for the noise from above...if due to poor sound insulation...little you can do...used to be action you could take...change in legislation years ago now prevents that...however...if due to unreasonable behaviour...floor coverings etc...times it occurs...may be able to take action...anything they can do to mitigate noise pollution should be done...worth considering...nothing like having your privacy/peace of mind disturbed...particularly during the night!
There's not much wrong with that though some people would be really happy with that xFFS it's another 6.2 today 😡😡😡
Kaylz...you need to keep diary...make the council fulfil their obligations... make all the residents aware that is not acceptable behaviour...not to be repeated...they won't do anything if they can avoid it!...unless you press them...not likely to change.The council try their best, we're in a block of 6 flats the other 5 are Eastern Europeans, the council sent letters out in various languages (covering all the tenants languages) about the closey door having to be shut all the time, not blocking the bottom of the stairs and not leaving fag ends at the front closey door, they pin the door open with a brick, the bottom of the closey has 2 single buggies, a double buggy and various bikes and they cleaned their fag ends up but have still continued to drop their fag ends at the entrance, they seem to think they don't have to follow the rules x
We had a troublesome neighbour a good few years ago who was Scottish and the council did more about them than they ever do with the eastern Europeans, they get let off with much more, there was an incident a few years ago when a Scottish guy got fined for urinating at a set of steps, a few months later an eastern European was urinating at a woman's door so she phoned the police, they came out and said 'what do you expect us to do about it he's foreign' they get treated totally different around here to the rest of us, when we do go to the council all we get is oh we'll have a word with them, where I know that if that were a british person they would have been threatened with eviction by now, I honestly have no idea about where to go next and it's getting very tiring hearing the same thing over and over again, I will however be having a look in to it xKaylz...you need to keep diary...make the council fulfil their obligations... make all the residents aware that is not acceptable behaviour...not to be repeated...they won't do anything if they can avoid it!...unless you press them...not likely to change.

Kaylz...any tenancy agreement guarantees you or the tenant 'the right to the quiet enjoyment of your property'...the council...housing association...whomever is the Landlord needs to guarantee that...if the nuisance is affecting that entitlement...your quality of life...they have a duty to act...it does mean you would need to be persistent...can involve diarising the incidents...which could have far more impact than the nuisance itself...the only really effective way to take this matter forward...and resolve the problem.We had a troublesome neighbour a good few years ago who was Scottish and the council did more about them than they ever do with the eastern Europeans, they get let off with much more, there was an incident a few years ago when a Scottish guy got fined for urinating at a set of steps, a few months later an eastern European was urinating at a woman's door so she phoned the police, they came out and said 'what do you expect us to do about it he's foreign' they get treated totally different around here to the rest of us, when we do go to the council all we get is oh we'll have a word with them, where I know that if that were a british person they would have been threatened with eviction by now, I honestly have no idea about where to go next and it's getting very tiring hearing the same thing over and over again, I will however be having a look in to it x
