    In the current and last property I have lived in there has been overcrowding in neighbouring houses. It's impossible to know who the actual tenant is.

    New neighbours moved in two months ago and they have not left out one bag of rubbish, it is piling up in the yard.

    We contacted the Council but as none of us are council tenants nor can the waste be seen from the street it's not an issue for them I was told.

    We don't particularly want to have to go knocking on the neighbours door because a lot of people are living there.

    Anyone have any advise?

    Contact the management company for the complex

    Sorry not apartments. Houses. I'll update the OP.

    Contact the environmental department at the council, not the housing department.

    Be clear that your problem is the rubbish, don't mention overcrowding.

    The council should send a waste enforcement officer out to inspect the property. Happened to me when I had two bags of brambles in my back garden and the neighbour wasn't happy about it. Don't expect much to be done, I found them easy to ignore, they came left a letter saying to contact them, which I didn't. Then came back a month later with the same letter to contact them. I could have ignored them again but called them and said they can look in the back garden. They came out two months later and the bags were long gone. No harm putting in a complaint but don't expect much.

    I'd call into a few of the other neighbours, and try to find out who
    The landlord is. You can lodge a complaint to the RTB for overcrowding and rubbish build up. It's the landlord's responsibility, he / she might be unaware.
