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

  • > It seems these people think that just because you allow them to use your garden for moving furniture in they have a right to use it whenever they want to

    Yes, that is certainly how I feel

    I genuinely don't have a problem with just for moving in furniture, so long as I am given notice. In the past I had state this clearly, by agreeing to let them use it, but stating each time if you want to use it in the future please let me know beforehand. And on some occaisions, empthasising that if I am not in, please wait until I am in.

    It just really infuriates me when I find them again in my garden, when they don't need to move any furniture.

    This time I thought I would change tact, and just simply say no right from the start. I thought that would just make the whole situation clear.

    That clearly has not worked, but at this moment, I feel part of the problem is that they just ignore me because they feel I am an easy push over.

    I am concerned with response from the landlord, over 2 phone calls, she mentioned 5 times, if it upsets you that much you should think about moving" she just seems to want to wash her hands of the whole thing
