Pick them up and knock on the door and tell them that they belong to them, i've done that before and it worked. |

Lock their doors in the night and torch the house. Blame it on the ciggies |

Ask the landlord and if that fails contact the police. |

Obviously you're ALREADY doing your part. That is excessive littering. And it "technically" poses a potential health hazard if they continually drop cigarette butts onto the ground. The landlord MUST intervene on your behalf.......and to avoid any arguements that may occur. It is the landlords responsibility to be the (peace-maker) in situations like this.
Not fair to you and your flatmates. |

Yes, talk to the landlord. Explain that you are doing your part, sweeping and keeping the yard clean, but they need to do their part and stop throwing stuff out the windows and littering. What pigs they are!!! Good luck. |

Sweep up and collect all the cigarette butts and return to rightful owners. (dump at their front door; or better yet, place in a delivery box and leave it a door step.) |

Put them through the letter box and invoice them for your labour and even if it means that you take them to a small claims court to recover it.Or if in the uk film them doing it and report them for fly tipping around ÂŁ1000 fine good luck |

tell the landlord then don't even bother to try to talk to these stuck up biaches.
resist the urge to post them back through their letter box as they sound like nasty girls who could cause you problems. |

Put them in a bucket and lay them at their front door.. and leave a note.. and leave the bucket for them to put the butts in |

Check your lease, to see if you are actually responsible for yard clean-up. (I wouldn't have signed such a lease.) If you are, clean it once and call the cops the next time you SEE the top flat mates littering in YOUR yard. In most municipalities littering is against the law. |

sweep up the litter, the use a poop-scoop to collect any animal faeces you can find & post the foul package through their letterbox. |

Definitely have a word with their landlord and them (if it's not too scary).
This is probably the wrong advice but I'd also sweep up all their mess with a dustpan and brush and leave it outside their flat door. What can they say? It's their mess!
Alternitevely, wrap an ash tray up in gift wrapping and leave it on their doorstep |

I would start to keep a diary of all the events happening regarding the residents in the upper flat. They have a responsiblity to keep the peace and by littering constantly they are not doing so. If you have a digital camera take pictures of the rubbish that is left outside (especially the tissues with makeup and cig butts if they have lipstick to identify they belong to the girls upstairs). Have a chat with the young men in the middle flat and ask them if they've had any similar experiences to yours. Make sure you keep a log of everything that happens, not just the rubbish being thrown but also any incidents which might occur in the hallways. Show this log to your landlord and include the photos. You and your flatmates have a right to enjoy a clean yard and if this is being comprimised then something has to change. |

Inform the landlord that you are happy to keep ground clear but these muppets are creating a fire risk..I would bag all the bits and hand to the landlord when he comes round...also tell him its unfair to have to clean up after them and pay same rent..ask him what he thinks you should do....put the responsibility back to him...its his problem and he needs to kick these muppets into shape... |

Let the landlord know the details about it. He wouldn't like people littering on his/her property. They might not be aware about all the rubbish his tenants are throwing out the window. |

You have a very tricky situation! First, try to resolve the issues with the people who are performing the littering. If that fails, you will need to go to the landlord and explain the situation. Your landlord may say that's tuff or his intervention may actually get the girls to behave more rude toward you and your flatmates or they may own up to it and stop. If they get worse or your landlord does nothing, then you can decide whether or not to continue to live there. |

Talk to the upstairs first. If that can't get resolved, talk to the landlord. If it still isn't resolved, move. It's not worth the headaches. Good luck! |

Speak to your Landlord, but first read the Tenancy Agreement you signed when you moved in. Are the upstairs tenants breaking any of the Agreement ? Even if they are not, you are entitled to a clean environment, you should not be cleaning this stuff up. Point out the Fire Hazard to your Landlord as well. Good Luck |

talk to them, or the landlord. |

Put something in writing in the door or on a mat ATTACHED TO THE DOOR in a blank envelope with your name and flat number INSIDE at the end of the letter politely asking them to stop littering them because their trash is becoming a hassle and is potienitally affecting where you all live. Keep a copy of this. Next time they do it take a picture and give it to the landlord with the copy you saved. |

Next time you see them, ask them nicely if it suits their fancy to keep their f*cking cigarette butts off the ground. If they give you a hard time, then threaten to set their flat on fire. :-)
Have a nice day. |

buy them an ash tray and gift wrap, if that doesn't work let your landlord know whats going on and include him on what you did!!!!!!!! |

write them down a letter and slip it through under their door |

Certainly discuss it with the landlord.
Failing that, the only thing that springs to mind is four posts with a cloth over the top - like a canopy.
It might stop the light getting to the garden, but anything that comes down will land on it instead of the floor so you can point it out and you won't have to clean it up.
If not - move.
I hate twats but would rather back away and move than put up with it when there is nothing i can do. |

The problem with this question is you are linking the noble art of tossing butts from the window with anti social neighbours they are mutually exclusive. If its that bad move to a nicer neighbourhood |
