Ade C | Having to ask this question on nightmare neighbours yet AGAIN! GRRRR? |
Ok somebody thought it would be hilariously funny to report me for the question I just asked, so I will ask again. My partner has been having problems with a family of Polish (let me explain), people in his block of flats for coming up to a year now. They cause a tremendous amount of noise, banging and screaming etc at all hours of the day and night. We tried to resolve it at first by being diplomatic, but they were very rude and obnoxious to us. They also leave personal belongings out under the stairs (health and safety). So far, we have got their landlord involved (they are renting a one bedroom flat two floors down), the letting agency, all of whom have sadly been useless. The council have been involved and nothing has been done; they WERE in the process of trying to get them to move to more suited accommodation ie two bedroom flat, but for some reason, the council arent doing anything anymore. All they have suggested is community mediation, but my partner is sceptical about this
Additional Details
Due to the reason that when we have tried the gentle approach with them, they have been rude and horrid to us, plus their English isnt so hot (why I mentioned the nationality). Partner is at his wits end and feels as though he is being pushed out of his home and we are arguing about the most recent letter from the council as he wants me to be able to come down and see him, not just come and see me, and I want to come down and see him and not have to worry about them. Help please. Thank you. |

Hmmm same problem as last time! Well first things first your partner should NOT have to move out of his home because of a polish family! So dont even consider that because he has lived there for longer and he is british so maybe they should F** off home?? (im not racist but this really Boils my p!ss!)
To be honest the council are Sh1t!!! You have to push and push and push at them till they do something you really should keep complaining and keep phoning them and also keep a record of the noise that they cause! And also have you told the fire bregade about the stuff under the stairs?? You should defo tell them because that will cause an accident! And you know what...if the council dont do anything about this i really think your last option is to call the police. They cannot brand ur partner racist because he has complained about a none british family. They are casuing him hell and im sure they are probly causing your other neighbours hell to! He only wants to sort it for everyones benefit not just his own. So if they brand him a racist then thats bloody pathetic!
And..........if nothing works at all get all the neighbours who are also experiancing this and take it to the council. The more people the better!
I 4got to say, the council arent doing their jobs properly, they should be sorting this, maybe they are frightened because the family arnt british?!!??!! Seems to be the case, none british people get seen as priorety. Keep complaining, and why are people saying ur partner is trying to get them out of their home!!! HE ISNT HES TRYNA SORT OUT THE BLOODY NOISE!! |

Can't the authorities be brought in for disturbing the peace, and or noise ordinances? |

You were likely reported for the racism. The fact that they are Polish could have been left out.
I doubt Health and Safety will worry about possessions UNDER the stairs. Why are you concerned? Things under the stairs are not a safety concern.
It sounds like this is all very personal, your friend sounds very racist. The other tenants are not doing anything illegal.
The best way to deal with neighbors is to make friends with them, but if your friend can not manage that he is the one that needs to leave.
He should not try to force people out of their home because he does not like them. |

tell your fella to go back to the council and reopen negotiations there and keep going back to them till they do something. |

I don't think he should have to move. What he needs to do is call the police every time. Don't worry about being considered racist. I am sure if they were any nationality, he would have the same complaints. And they are legitimate complaints.
Every time he calls the police, he needs to request a copy of the police report. Then he needs to send a copy of it along with a letter of complaint to the Landlord. Eventually, the landlord will have to take action. Most leases have a clause prohibiting the Lessee from disturbing the right to peaceful accommodations... Or something to that affect. If possible, in the letter to the landlord, cite the part of the lease they are violating. |

To evaluate this rationally, if they aren't going to suddenly become considerate on their own, and if you can't find anyone else to sort them out, then you have only two choices - live with it the way it is or leave.
Life is too short, really. It's a shame that they are ruining things for you, but if your priority is a quiet life then you're going to have to find it somewhere else. |

contact enviromental health about noise but the old saying goes if ur white and british police dont want to know i had problems with my nieghbour who is private i contacted my housing association who said it was irrelivant that they are private unless they behaved they would be evicted and it worked they have been as nice as pie since good luck |

I reccomend that you shoud invest in some cheap ecording equipment, and whenever there is noise record it and log times dates etc and do this for approx a month and then take you evidence to your local enviromental heath office (they cannot ignore this). and with reguard to the mess in the hall photograph it every day and date it and all correspondence between you and the other couple should be written and not verbal. I dont know why this would be reguarded as racist, foreign people are noisy neighbors also, are you not meant to complain if they are foreign? |

Obviously the problem is not going to go away. I don't think that them being Polish has anything to do with it, I understand why you mentioned it, If they are going to be a pain then they will be regardless of the nationality.
I think as said, your partner must continue with the council, and also contact environmental health, they should have a noise abatement department.
He should put his grievance in writing to the letting agent, and if there is any other tenants or owners in the block how will do the same it may help. Also send a copy to the landlord, state that if thy fail to sort the problem out, you will be forced to take the matter further.
It is difficult for your partner and other residents, as there is always the worry of a backlash. The agent and landlord have an obligation to ensure their tenants do not cause a nuisance. |

Would you call the police if they looked and spoke just like you?
If your scared to call the police and the tactful approach doesn't work, stop whining and just move. |

Try the " if you cant beat um' join um " theory. I mean if they get loud and annoy you....do the same to them but 10 times fold. Fight fire with fire!
Heck, they might just get annoyed and move out. |

I hate to say this, but maybe you just make it hard for them to be around you? Find out what pushes there buttons and would want to make them leave. Nothing illegal of course, but maybe you often ask the local Jehovah Witness church people to come by to their place to talk about their beliefs.
Get creative and have fun - stay legal though. |

Call the police every time they are loud to establish a pattern via police reports. If he's too scared to call the police, then it must not be that bad. If he was truly at his wit's end, he'd pick up the phone and make a simple call.
Each time he calls the police, also send a certified letter to the owner of the flat requesting he or she intervene.
After 4-5 letters, take the owner to court and sue him or her for the suffering caused by his or her lack of action/ negligence. |

Are there other tenants in the building? If so, how will this family know which called the police on them? I called the police one time about some new neighbors near my parents, because they were parking in the middle of a street and blocking traffic...every day! We just made a simple call, they didn't ask who we were, and drove over and told them that since they have 2 driveways, they need to use them as you cannot park in the middle of a road in a nice subdivision. Good luck! |

Oh dear. It's unlike the Polish to be like that. Ummm well I think the only way is through dialogue though I guess that's difficult if their English isn't that good.
Next time there's some nice weather why don't you invite them round (if you have some outside space or balcony) and have a barbie all together with some other people too and try and get on friendly terms. Shake hands over it and see if you can get some assurance that they'll keep the noise down a bit. |

Why don't your partner say to the letting agency he wants to move, they have to help him either by sorting problems or finding somewhere appropriate for him to live! |

You must keep a proper record of all disturbances, dates and times. That is the first requirement. When you have a reasonable amount of information, I suggest you go to a sollicitor for an initial interview, this is usually free. You will then learn the proper way to deal with your problem. You may even be entitled to financial help. You may also be able to sue the council for failing to sort it out. Dont forget ,you need a written record of your trouble first. Good luck. |

Im mixed race this question isnt racist being offended by noisy neighbours isnt racist complaining isnt racist and the poster isnt being racist the poster is simply saying this family are polish so comunicating with them is hard and evidently theyve tried so putting the polish point in the question is not racist and is a valid point.
But dont resort to racism out of fustration (im not saying you would im just saying) or any credibilty your case has goes out the window in the eyes of law.
keep bugging the council and dont move out and make the point to the council that they are over crowded that is half the problem (it might be that their waiting to be moved if you proactively mention to the council look therir over crowded and its causing everyone else in the building problems the council might find them somewhere faster)
good luck. |
