problem with nighbours

nhickey

my next door nighbours rent there house its been rented for a number of years now and it is extremly shabby she is very young and has a number of kids but since her new boyfriend moved in we are having a lot of problems they have stopped taking care of the garden and is always over grown the shrubs are now large bushes that over flow through our railings into our garden they never take out the rubbish recently leaving 8 bags in the front garden like right in the middle of the garden they have started to fight constantly throwing what sounds like furniture around and are very agressive when we complain it has gotten to the point where we'd liek to move but cannot afford to I have looked everywhere but there just doesn't seem to be anything onthe legal rights of neighbours we are planning on building a wall to divide the gardens properly and I was wondering coudl I possibly bill the landlord as they are unwilling to deal with our complaints or care for the property they are renting.

I'm not sure what it is you are looking for here.

You need of be aware that you cannot seek legal advice on this forum.

What I can say to you is that if the behavior of these neighbors is indeed intolerable then yes, there are legal options available.

You should consult with a solicitor.

yeah thats all I wanted to know was do I have right as a neighbour because I can only find things regarding landlord or tenants rights but we feel threatened in our own home and no one seems willing to do anything for us

Maximilian

Well then go and see a solicitor. Something as simple as a letter from your solicitor to the landlord in question might spur him into doing something.

McCrack

As previously suggested you are free to consult with a solicitor.
Another option is the Private Residential Tenancies Board which has jurisdiction to hear 3rd party compliants against tenants.

As a matter of practicality (this is not legal advice) you should keep copies of all letters to landlord/tenants, letters to Council/Garda and a log of all the anti-social incidents occured.

Have you actually spoken with your neighbours, Overgrown shrubs and
some bin bags left out early on the front lawn doesn't really amount to much.

As for furniture moving around, it's normal to hear furniture being moved around. Everyone argues, why! Are you not complaining to us about it, instead of resolving it with them.


Just explain to them that you can hear them etc walking about (feet stomping) and moving furniture and every argument they have and to keep it down a bit and to prune their bloody shrubs.

They probably have a few complaints for you too, no doubt.

Maximilian

That was just a completely uncalled-for comment.

Pirelli infracted.

Pirelli if it was a simple matter of moving furniture and a couple of arguments I wouldn't mind I've lived in terraced houses all my life and well know what to expect from any neighbour as no doubt they hear the same from mine however you didn't read the post I said throwing furniture they have violent arguments which result in serious crashes and these can occur at any time day or night. I also stated they become agressive when we talk to them so of course it has been said. anyway I already recieved perfectly fine advice.
if you want to throw insults its probably wiser to at least read the post correctly to ensure you've got it right and stop being a dick

Maximilian

I think we're done here. Thread closed.
