In a bit of a distressed state at the moment

random

Hi,

Not sure to do, have new neighbours moving in next door. Had a knock on the door from one of them, asked if they could move furniture through my garden.

I have had no end of trouble in the past, as when I have agreed before. They just take it as they can do that anytime they want. So thought I would keep it simple this time, and simply tell them sorry, no, I have had too many problems in the past.

Thought that was the end of that, but about five minutes later they return with sofa in hands going directly in to my garden. They need to dismantle fence to get in theirs, so called the police emergency.

I was in an extemely distressed state when I called, but police refused to help. Mainly because they didn't dismantle the fence. I explained I called them, because they were about to, but when I went out to confront them they abandoned their attempt and left by my drive way which is chained and locked.

Police said, they can't do anything, but if they dismantle the fence they will deal with it. Problem is I am not at home all the time, and expect they will try again. Clearly have no regard for my home

I mentioned this to my landlord a couple of years ago, and told them I did not want neighbours using the garden at all.  They agreed with me, and I told them to pass a message on to the agent managing the property next door. To let the next tennants who move in know they can't use my garden.

I expect from their opening question when they knocked on the door, they are aware I am with same landlord as she said "who owns the drive which is chained off". I answered and said this property.

Just in a real state about these people, just can't understand why they are so inconsiderate

  • Thanks for response Matt, that was something I had noted down to ask, but I just lost control of the conversation so it got lost.

    Probably a decade ago now, I had ongoing maintenance problems (a fair few of them still unresolved). I decided to write them a letter about it, but got a fairly sharp phone call stating they wanted to deal over the phone or face to face, not with letters.

    I think I will try and get their email, and am wondering whether to mention my aspergers to them and problems I have been experienced. During the phone calls Today she made two references that they like their neigbours to get on with each other. Implying to me that I was the problem tennant.

    Another comment I am uncomfortable with, I feel the problem I have with current tennant is down to her mis communication. She should have told me that she had changed her mind about letting the tennants have access. Instead she just left it, in the knowledge it would distress me, and to deal with it, just tell me to basically put up with it or leave.

    The tenancy agreement should protect me from this, as there is no access to neighbouring property, and I have the right to peaceful enjoyment of the property which clearly this situation and landlords actions breach. Problem is the tenancy agreement as far as I am concerned is printed on bog roll, as it gives no protection to me, but if I step the slightest bit out of line, they come down like a ton of bricks.

    Just angry about the dire rotten to the core housing situation in this country; Sadly my landlords are relatively good in the private housing sector

    I have been wondering how my new neighbour would react if he was living in my house, in same situation.
