I am really heavilly stressed at the moment, just seen my neighbours in my back garden. I have told them explicitly I don't want them there. When they first moved in they did it, and I called the police.

I am really angry and upset, really puts my stress and anxiety to maximum. Just to put you in the picture. I live on corner, in a detached house, with fences around my garden. Next door is and end terrace, which had an access way beside it. Many years ago, the previouse owner decided to extend in to the access way.

What has been happening is when neighbour wants to move stuff in/out of his garden. Instead of going through the house. He dismantles the fence to gain access to my garden and uses that.

I have mentioned it to my landlord, who conincendly also owns and rents the offending neighbours property.

I have to rent a large house for just me, because I need to have some private space, as this causes me a lot of distress. It has been a struggle financially, but I need to do as I know I would not be able to stay somewhere where you are very close to neighbours.

Just feeling terrible, on a Saturday when I need to take a breath to relax with all the other problems recently.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

    Access issues like this are hugely problemmatic, Because your neighbour made the arrangement with someone previously in your house, he can assert a right of continuity of pratice which is difficult for the landlord to prevent - bit like squatting.

    Irecall a work colleague who moved into a Victorian terrace with a central passage to the rear. There had been an outdoor privy in his garden that the neighbours had used. Even though everyone now had internal sanitation, and the outside toilet had been removed, his neighbour still claimed it as a right to walk into his garden. A prolonged legal battle got him nowhere.

    However you should have rights to and if your privacy is being disrespected you need to defend yourself. it is just the hassle.

    One technicality is there is no gate, he is taking down the fence to do it. You might be able to get a mesh fence on your side, so when he lifts the fence panels out he can no longer gain access. It is then his problem. Also you could store bins, crates, a skip on the route he is trying to use through your garden.

    But these things need lawyers. It is just very bad luck you getting the right kind of house for your needs only to suffer from an inconsiderate neighbour.

    I wasn't going to post again, and I'm still resolved to stop. But felt I ought to give this one a go.
