"Have had problems with a neighbour since he moved in, so to cut a long story short...... My noisy neighbour, over last 18 months, has had far too many compliants to count about noise from him, his flat and his guests after 11p.m......the last straw for me was 3.30a.m, when he & his d*unken friends came in slamming doors & screaming like banshees outside my bedroom. Finally, after my last complaint to landlord, the neighbour has been given written notice to quit. He has been creeping around like a mouse all day after he got the letter. Absolute bliss! Long may it last, or he won't! lol. "That is bad, I empathise with you - interrupted sleep is a real and genuine stress factor. Nobody minds a neighbour having a good time now and again but that sounds really bad. One reason we decided to move into rented accommodation. Fortunately there is the Noise Pollution Law now. | |||

"at least your getting rid, im just trying to get a move as he owns his flat so not that much they can do.. " I so feel for people being bothered by the noise other (perhaps less considerate?) people make - and moving is not an option for everybody and also, why should you? On a practical note - could you follow up with more calls and complaints? There is saying that the squeaky wheel gets the attention! | |||

" and when your sleep has been disturbed at 3a.m you have to then write it down etc,. which means thaht you are then fully awake....really makes sense doesn't it? you suffer then you have to suffer more | |||
"Im really lucky with my neighbours either side, one side works away all week although he drills at the weekend but have gotten used to it after 15 years lol. The other side i never here and theyve just sold the house to a woman in her 60's so doubt she will be a problem" lucky you having a neighbour who drills  lol, I assume it isn't after 11p.m (unless it naughty drilling) | |||

its stupid the face that he is one of the reasons im unemployed, if i dont sleep then how am i ment to work!!!
it says something when im on sleeping tablets and he still manages to wake me up every single night!!"mad isn't it, why should you be on tabs. just because of him? not only ruin your sleep and all attendant problems but shorten your life to boot!...after the verbal abuse & threats the other night have a very heavy rolling pin by my door....purely as protection of course....I have no intention of using it, however if I am half asleep & have d*unks threaten me & I happen to lift it......I believe sleep deprevation is a form of torture ?so and a court case would take all the history into account - not putting a smiley here lol | |||

"funny though, had a visit nearly 2 weeks ago, HE has complained about me!!! he is scared of rottweilers so i cant let him in MY garden (i have the front), screw him, im just lettin my dog sleep next to the door to purposely scare him when him and his "mates" go past!! " just refer them to your prior written complaints! then if they com back tell them suing them for negligence & allowing your torture to continue...bet they go running then, human rights (what a misnomer) goes both ways | |||

" Dont do that, thats called tit for tat and one cancels out the other, i know i work for a housing association. Evicting someone for ASB is a very long business, if he had rent arrears, NOSP - Notice Seeking Possession then apply to court for an IPO - Immediate Possession Order, isnt mandatory, the judge can decide if Housing Benefit claim has been put in, to suspend the IPO until housing benefit entitlement. Couple of months, maximum. ASB can take a year, what you need to do is write everything down, DO NOT RETALIATE as it makes matter worse for you, judges dont take kindly to people doing that, you could lose the case. Talk to him, if he ignores you, write that down too. Include his mates visiting, what time the noise started and finished, how loud ie shake the house or not, call in environmental health and get them to bring their noise equipment. Be prepared though for a long wait, like i said, its not easy to evict someone for ASB, whats normal lifestyle to him is not yours, understand? | |||

"yes, understand completely, its just hard not to retaliate after yrs of abuse!! ill keep my dog in the bedroom and the noise monitoring equiptment has had a request put in...... 6 months ago, ah well, ill wait, i can cope longer!! "shame you are not older and closer, i could come round and umm keep you occupied, you wouldnt notice then  | |||

"The key is always to talk. A long time ago I had neighbours did my head in, I got angry with them, no response, then something happened and I became friends with them. They agreed noise only at weekends after that, and I was always invited to their weekend only parties. Have to say, I went to some, great fun! Live and let live as far as you can. Buy old fashioned cardboard eggboxes to insulate your place if you can't! "Does work with some neighbours I agree - having said that - we love the open countryside anyway - no need to worry there | |||

My neighbour had bought his house I think but I had noise equipment in and was eventually told that unless it is every night for over an hour it isnt classed as a nuisance! What a load of scrotum! I did ask for the bosses name and address then would see if that person thought I was a nuisance to them but would naturally be noisy for under an hour every night. Now I am being very tongue in cheek but it did get my very bothered as had a newborn baby at that point and it went on for a year or so until we moved. Interesting how it differs from rented to bought!?? | |||

Well a landlord has only to give 28 days written notice to seek repossession, without stating reason he has put reason on letter so the tenant can't go crying to council that he's being evicted unfairly & needs somewhere to live - they will probably laugh & say bye bye you made your self INTENTIONALLY homeless (sure half the reason is he wants a council place) have a surprise or two for him myself (that are all his own fault) before he goes  | |||

then starts again at about 2am sometimes, at this point, I give the door a neighbourly knock and ask them to keep the noise down. | |||
"our next door neighbour is very noisy, always arguing with his d*unk of a girlfriend, funny thing is at 9pm it stops then starts again at about 2am sometimes, at this point, I give the door a neighbourly knock and ask them to keep the noise down."lol glad it works for you, hasn't for me, still told him that I am away whilst he is meant to move and got couple pals staying and he'd best not upset them, also told him if he hasn't gonne when I return thenn he can expect a few knocks from different authorities on his his door | |||

"it works for me cause I've caught him watching me train in the back garden "mmmm me wonders why he's awatching you in back garden | |||
"it works for me cause I've caught him watching me train in the back garden
mmmm me wonders why he's awatching you in back garden "haha, well i aint wearing lycra if thats what ya thinking, i'm dressed in my Gi, usually doing some punching or kicking plus katas with my nunchuks, bo staff and jo staff. | |||
, did wonder if he was stood up or sitting though ll | |||
"lol lol, didn't think you would be in lycra for exercises as be bit too sweaty , did wonder if he was stood up or sitting though ll"haha, stood up from the quick glances I took, in his bedroom window, he pretends to look in his garden but even my son says, he's watching you dad, I just ignore and carry on with what I'm doing. | |||

"a women CAN knock on a random door and ask but men rarely can! i knocked on and politely asked him to turn the music down and he closed the door and turned it up" You need to knock the door nicely with the back of an axe, when he opens the door you smile warmly and inform him that the lack of sleep is making you feel all spaced out, kinda like you are losing your grip on reality. Then ask him if he needs any firewood chopping, and fondly stroke the axe. If he's still got the door open at that point, he's either incredibly stupid or has balls of steel. More likely he'll be as quiet as a mouse afterwards. (You have to be prepared to put the odd panel through on his door, Jack Nicholson-style if he calls your bluff, but not to worry, what's the price of a new door? In any case, you'd only have to do one panel, before he phones the police...... you get a night in the cells, the police call it a domestic and let you out with a warning, he becomes very anxious not to piss you off again.Result!) | |||

"lol wished I had thought of it, nah I no longer knock on his door as the stench is revolting, so much so that when I hear his door open/close I make sure I do not go out into the passsage way for at least 5 minutes to give the smell of urine time to go "eeeewwwwwwww | |||
