Neighbour Complaints
|
 |
|
Complaining neighbours are never fun and the longer
the situation goes on, the worse it gets. |
- If you have a tenant who is upsetting the neighbours, you are very limited in
what you can achieve as the Landlord. If the tenant is reasonable, fine,
but getting involved on 'sides' is inadvisable.
- If you take a pro-active role to prevent your neighbours from being disturbed,
you become somewhat involved and responsible if it does not work. It is
better to raise inital concerns and if the tenant does not conform, advise the
neighbours on how they can enlist the help of the Council or Police. Do
not take responsibility yourself, or you could find yourself taking abusive
calls from disgruntled neighbours at 3 o'clock in the morning.
- As for evicting them: You would be better off letting the local authorities or
Police deal with them, as obtaining possession based on 'bad-neighbourliness'
will not be easy or certain.
- Your biggest 'weapon' against neighbour complaints is the threat of not renewing
the Agreement and bluff really - unless you want to take costly legal action, to
hear the Judge tell them to stop.
