Every word is accurate and true. I am not condoning that behaviour but that does not mean it isn't effective sometimes.

I also know what your mean about recently joined members but if it helps if lurked on here for years before joining. I am also not a typically violent individual just sometimes enough is enough.

We tried that but the landlord just blocked our wattsapp and wont reply, our problem is still happening but the landlord is getting paid so all is well.

I wouldn't think it's the landlords responsibility how the tenant behaves towards the neighbours, it's the landlords house but the tenants home , and as you point out , the landlord is getting paid , he's hardly likely to evict a paying tenant over a parking problem. Even if he did , the next tenant may have more cars and be an even bigger dhead .
Face to face is the only real way to sort these problems out .

For many years me and my father have had trouble with our neighbour. He seems to have a chip on his shoulder because my dad doesn't work and I have a good job and can afford to enjoy life (he is skint with 3 kids and a miserable life) so he seems to take it out on us. This normally takes the form of verbal abuse or threats, sometimes excessively loud music or intimidation.

Several years ago my dad had surgery on his knee and was using 2 crutches for a while. During this time he went next door to ask the neighbor to be more reasonable about the volume of his music. I was asleep upstairs and woke up to hear raised voices so rapidly got dressed and went to investigate. just in time to see the neighbor kick away my dad's crutch. I completely flipped and punched him in the teeth then hit him in the forehead with half a brick that formed part of a garden border by our front door. I then took him to the ground sat astride him and had my hands around his throat choking him. If it wasn't for his battle axe of a wife pulling me off him I had no intentions of stopping. The police arrived shortly afterwards along with an ambulance, the neighbor went to hospital to get patched up and I was interviewed by the police. Nothing happened to me over the incident as I pleaded that I was defending my father, I was also under 18 at the time.

This was between 3 and 4 years ago now and he still wont look at me. Let alone start an argument. The point I am making is sometimes you are better of fighting fire with fire. I am not claiming to be a double hard bd but sometimes you cannot send a clearer message than by scaring seven shades of st out of them.

I 100% believe you and I would 100% do the same if anyone did that to my father. And I am by no means a violent individual.

Several solutions.

The silly.

Well spoken but large chaps. Rugger bugger types. If you have some as friends have a couple pop round for a chat with him.

Its likely he'll not have dealt with polite well spoken guys before.

Smiling polite but passive aggressive. "You probably don't mean to but you are upsetting our friend. Its not really on. How would you feel if it was you?"

That might do the trick. If he gets aggressive then display disappointment outlining that falling out with someone with well connected friends, lawyers etc would be unwise.

Why turn a misunderstanding into a war? Misunderstandings happen, you know like that silly misunderstanding that may get around about him being, well you know, having an interest in young boys. Its just what's been said round the rugby club, pub, neighbourhood.

OK, that was the silly response.

Sensible. Note take every interaction and incident. Contemporaneous notes help paint a big picture.

Then make a noise. Make this a problem for others who can help you. People/organisation s who can assist will rather have a quiet life. Make it that solving this is the best way to get you to go away and let them get back to snoozing.

Use people who have something to gain by helping. Where I live the leaflets for the May council elections are starting to clutter my door mat. Engage with your councillor who wants re-election and the wannabes too.

A councillor hungry for votes has access to all sorts of council officers, community safety programmes, joint initiatives to tackle anti-social behaviour.

Trawl you local police website looking for press releases about anti social behaviour, troublesome neighbours etc. There will be quotes there which can be great at helping police help you. Stuff like a local inspector saying "people have a right not to be intimidated" I've back footed reluctant police on occasion by quoting some bks policy or statement back to the brass hat who said it.

Go for the landlord - directly if you can but via the letting agent. Become a pain in their arse. A face to face chat in the letting agents office every time there is a problem won't be something they want. Its going to be much easier for them to bin the ahole neighbour than have you bothering them.

Be careful of social media. It can be a powerful weapon and can help you but equally it can bite you on the arse.

I well believe that. Had a similar situation, moved into a house and for the next 7 years neighbours across the road caused nothing but trouble over a genuinely non existent parking problem. They were bullies and "ran" the street.
He'd come over to my house often trying to be the hard man verbally. The day he tried it physically i gave him a good beating - two black eyes and bruises all over his face and head. Wore dark glasses for 2 weeks and would scurry back into his house if i happened to come out my front door at the same time. Police were called and amazingly no action was taken other than being told to stay away from him. They made quite a big thing about asking me if he'd been aggressive actually on my doorstep, maybe that helped somehow? One policeman went to each of our houses to take statements. When the other copper left their house i heard him say to the one at mine that my neighbours were a pair of f**king idiots.

This thread reminds me of the passive-aggressive neighbours of my parents. They didn't cause any issues directly but would invite unsavoury/council family to their house who would block our driveway, throw items into the garden, a half-eaten chocolate bar was stuck to the windscreen of my new hot hatch. It was mostly aimed at me I think so my parents either didn't know or notice their behaviour. On one occasion my dad's second car which was parked on the road had all the tyres let down completely - we thought it was the 'council' family down the road but now I think it was this neighbour.

A few tragedies afflicted them in the past years and they mellowed out. I think if the anti-social episodes had happened today I would have reacted similarly to some of posters above, tit-for-tat, so they were lucky that it happened when I was a total pussy. Or maybe not. My mum mentioned to me the other day that the police came around to ask if she had heard any noises the night before - apparently the son had tried to top himself. They obviously have deep-run familial issues and this manifests itself into anti-social behaviour - but worst of all - blaming it on others instead of dealing with their own problems.

It all depends on the type of person your dealing with some people are all mouth no action, Others on the other hand......

For example turn up at my house with your mates, I'll probably smile,

That's until I get back in my house and round up a small army and descend on you either the same day or next,

Touch my car and I'll come round and break my right knee off in your jaw.

Basically what I'm trying to say is every action has a reaction.
Bring trouble to somebody's door and you are going to bring more trouble to your door.

i would advise against rounding up mates to help you out. many years ago doing something like that nearly got a good friend of mine stabbed by an utter scumbag lowlife smackhead rapist piece of st oxygen thief. the slashed thumb and shirt was way too close for my liking. do it yourself or not at all. if my mate had ended up dead it would have been my fault and mine alone.

Sounds rough mate but:

"Every action has a reaction"

It works both ways up and down the scale, And whilst that sounds rough did you leave it at that?

I am a Private Landlord and one of the clauses in the Tenancy Agreement relates to anti social behaviour and causing a nuisance to neighbours. This would apply in this case. A written warning, initially, followed by Eviction Notice. I know it could take 2 to 3 months to implement but it’s all within the law and without threats etc. Boring I know, but sometimes the best course of action.

Ever actually had to do it? I think you’ll find it’ll be a lot more drawn out than you think.

Is that what happened to Ted Moult!!


Classic PH!! Love it!!

[AndyF52]

Yes, had to do it to Tenant who accumulated rubbish in back yard. In this case local council got involved which made process slightly easier I admit. I agree Eviction Notices can take forever but in my experience the Tenant usually leaves before the final date.

[Big_Dog]

Had a family near me do this as they felt that they owned most of the road. They blocked me in so I moved their cars with the bumpers, surprising how hard you can push without causing any damage. They knocked on my door to complain and I explained that I was a crap driver could they leave me more space. When I knocked to ask them to move they didn't answer so I had no other option.
Solved the problem for me if not the other neighbours.

I am sure that with a little imagination the OP can find literally dozens of ways to quietly and anonymously annoy the pish out of this moron. If you look on it as sport then the possibilities become almost boundless.

Relevance? his average is 2.7 a day, mine is 5.5 over 13 years and I bet most are similiar. Even a single comment to a post clocks up a number.

Problem is he then does it in retaliation and it slowly escalates until you spend most of your time cleaning dog st from the newest place he has managed to hide it and then applying dog st to the newest place you have thought to hide it.

The alternative to having one clown on your street is to put all the clowns in the same street. Once you've done that, you can have a clown town, which is going to be essentially like one of the deprived areas in the industrial northeast or northwest.

Is that what you want?

Oh do fk off you Southern jessy. He could come and live next to you, two wkers together.
