Abit of a rant, but also hoping somebody has advice from their own experience or something.

The house joined onto us is rented, last October some new people moved in. My Mum and Dad's bedroom joins onto the boy's bedroom (3 boys aged 10, 6 and 3). Obviously 3 boys are bound to make alot of noise, but they get up around 6am and play in the bedroom, waking my parents up. My Mum got sick of it and asked the neighbours to keep their kids quiet in a morning, they basically told my mum to fuck off. They put the kids to bed at about 6pm and expect us to be quiet, if we make any noise after that time they put music on full blast at about half 6 in the morning and bang on the walls etc. Also they have a dog that they put outside at about half 6 and it barks constantly for about 20 mins until it is let back into the house. Also during the day (weekends and school holidays) the kids are ridiculously loud and the mother shouts and swears loudly at them. My mum has spoke to other neighbours and they have heard it too, weve got 7 signitures off of neighbours (thats 7 households, not people) saying that these people a ruining their lifestyle and she's been told to keep a diary of events. The landlord couldnt care less aslong as he gets his rent. My mum is going to take the signitures to the council, environmental health and see a solicitor about holding the landlord resonsible (which will cost about £60) then maybe take him to court (about £200). We want the landlord to kick them out.

Our whole house getting a make over and my dad has been really busy, yesterday evening at about quater past 7 my dad put a brick in the cement mixer to clean it and it makes abit of noise, then he nipped to the shop leaving me on my own. I was sat in the living room and had a full view of the mixer through the patio doors. I saw water being thrown from next door onto the extension cable so I ran outside and caught her hanging out of the bedroom window. I said 'What do you think you are doing?' (she looked really shocked that I'd caught her) she said 'Well what's it doing with a brick in it?' I replied 'Thats how you clean them, it's cleaning it' she then said 'Well my little one has been poorly all day and he cant sleep' and because I was sooo angry (especially as they show us no respect, why should we respect them?) I said 'I dont care' she then said 'You will care'. It's not like she tried to ask us to be quiet, she just tried to damage our property. And at the end of the day it was 7:15 on a friday evening, so not exactly an unreasonable time to make noise. So this morning they were banging and had the music on at half 6, they are really petty and pathetic.

It is just grinding me down so much, I'm so tired from being woken up so early all the time (and even when were quiet their dog wakes up anyway) and it's starting to make me feel poorly. I'm dreading the school holidays because then I wont even be able to nap during the day because of the kids playing and her shouting etc, and my baby is due in the holidays and I just dont know how I will cope. I hope they dont keep my baby awake too.
 
Hi im sorry i dont know of any advice i can give you i just posted a post today about our neighbours so ur not on ur own.
 
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: You have my sympathy.

I really hope the landlord takes note and gets rid of them,
 
I think the actions your Mum is taking against them is sadly a good thing. I know it's going to cost her (quite a bit if things go further), but it's not on & not fair. The Landlord is responsible for what happens in that home and he needs to step up to the fact that he needs to give them a warning or something.

Here's a link that might help?

I think you can report them to the council too. It's disturbance. Shame you can't find out who they're renting from, unless it's council property. It is unfair though.
 
Sorry to hear its so crappy.

FWIW babies are very good at sleeping through background noise. My LO sleeps through me hoovering, doors banging, dog barking and goodness knows what else.
 
:( :( sound like horrid ppl
your mum is doing the right thing!
my neighbours are jack asses too..all of them!!
one house has a crack dealer (they are the ones who left their 5 yr old
locked in her bedroom for over 4 hours...crying out the window that she needed a wee!) Another house next to them the teenage daughter had
a party and her n her mates threw eggs at loads of our houses :( no one ever says anything about them because they are scared i stay out of it too esp now its just me and Hayden at mine- i dont want any reprisals sad but true!
