Noisy neighbours

Your poor daughter !
My friends daughter actually moved from her HA very nice spacious flat into small private accommodation.when a family of druggies were moved in below her . She said she could not bring up a little child hearing their noise and swearing everyday .
The HA were amazed when she handed back her keys

Before we bought our first house around here, we lived for a short time in a rented house in Sale.
The couple next door, presumably young, were at it every evening…
and the walls were very thin.
I won’t go in to unnecessary detail, but they were embarrassingly fit and able to proceed for extended periods.
Amusing rather than annoying, to be honest.

Didn’t you bang on the wall ?

Because at the moment they do not have one between them, if you get what I mean. Yes, it could also mean more benefits, and maybe a council house. Says the inner cynical me. :grin::grin:

Oh god, I have had to endure that!!

No, but they banged in bed!

I had neighbours in the flats at it, but the worst was when I had a room in Athens when mum was transferred to the hospital there, the couple next door were incredibly noisy. Thank goodness they only stayed one night: I was so pleased to see them loading up the car to leave.

No they’re not JBR. The Italian for Comprendo? is Capito?

All of my present tenants have a vetted guarantor co-signatory to the lease or they do not become my tenants. I was bitten once long ago and I vowed never again will I suffer from a non conforming low standards tenant. Having a guarantor has proven to be most desirable as every tenant is problem free and feedback from any neighbours has always been positive even if they too are my tenants👍

Well of course, they’re both wrong.
The correct word is ‘understand’,
of ‘understando’ in Italian and Spanish.

Very sensible. Of course, perhaps a better alternative would be if the law upheld accepted standards of decent behaviour.

Yes that would be desirable, but the problem would be enforcing said laws, so I stick with contract laws which are far far easier to apply. A signed lease with it’s restrictions clearly stated is the best tool IMO as it works well for me :+1:

Sarcasm is a dangerous tool, might make things much worse?

I know. :laughing:

I suppose it depends on how loud you shout it JBR :rofl:
