Contact the landlord
If the offending neighbour is a tenant and
refuses to co-operate when approached
directly, it may be appropriate to contact
the landlord.
Who is the landlord
If the property is owned by the local
authority, the authority's housing
department should be approached. It may be
prepared to contact the offending neighbour
to help resolve the problem.
If the property is owned or run by a housing
association, it may have a housing welfare
officer who deals with disagreements between
tenants.
A private landlord can also apply for
possession on the grounds that a tenant has
been a nuisance to neighbours. If it is
possible to find out who the landlord is,
s/he might be prepared to talk to the tenant
about the problem. |
