Bad neighbours - what to do?

1. Keep a log book. Everything that happens - brief details and time. This may come in very handy later.

2. Get the landlord's number. Ring him when they're creating a disturbance. EVERY SINGLE TIME. It's 4am? Ring him! They quietened down but are noisy again? Ring him!

3. Ring your local Garda station when they are acting the bollox altogether (i.e. between midnight and 8am). EVERY SINGLE TIME. There was a thread recently - in the Property board I think - detailing the laws under which the Gardai HAVE to act.

4. Check the Tenancies Board's website - www.prtb.ie There is a database here with all the registered addresses. Search for your street etc. and see if the rented address is registered - as is legally required. If not, email them and they will send you a form to report the landlord. If you have had no luck ringing him, I suggest waving this under his nose. If he still does nothing, send it in!

5. Find out who your local councillor and TD are. Ring/meet them - repeatedly.

6. Get your neighbours to do the same.

Schizo enough that he would reply to his own posts?

There was a post that was deleted

I really thought somebody had just urged the OP to ring the Gardaí and claim there's a blonde, blue eyed child living in the house.....

im not a schitzo.. at least not unless im hearing the "noises" too..LOL
nooo its getting use to thei site...not the easiest to op....

jus for interest..i havee 2 romanian families, not romany gypsies, living next door to me and the other across the road. they are the most civilised , friendly and helpful neighbours i ever had..not like some of the native irish head bangers i hav had to tolerate in the past..so dont let the race thing get in your way..just treat them as bad neighbours. i lived in kildare in 1974 and a family of irish travellers bought the house next door..within 12 months i had to move out..living beside dogs and head hunting savages wud have been preferable!!
the prob with these type of people is that they dont regard the law etc in the way we do..its not a conscious thing..they just dont think respect/peace/consideration as we do..its a different culture...understand that and you can hav a good chance of beating them at their own game...u hav to know your enemy to b able to defeat him!

I have a sort of similar problem. I live next door to a Romanian family , A set of parents , 2 young girls - An older man and an older woman and about 5 young unsavoury looking lads. The house is not extended so is 2 up 2 down . They are weird , such as the kids will be let into the garden first thing in the morning and there will be blood curdling , death wrenching screams , this is not normal kids screaming it would wake the dead. Last year my son doing his leaving cert was crying in his room he was so stressed. I asked them to stop , they dont care. They went away both years for the month of August and this year a new gang of youngsters moved in. My partner rang the landlord and advised him that we dont know who we are living beside and our neighbours have actually asked this of us. The main tenant the Father of the kids works for the landlord and it is like car and van city next door. In the early days they just parked in front of our drive but now they no longer do. They take up whole paths with vans and cars and only recently after one of the vans being fully parked on a path on a corner my son nearly hit a cyclist as it was in such a blind spot. It took several emails to the landlord to get it moved. Most of the friends and tenants have Audis and the main tenant has a year old Audi jeep probably worth about 70k so I cannot understand if they spend so much money on cars how they would not rent a 4 bed house which is what they require for the ten people that live there. I looked out my landing window one evening to see what was the noise and a group of men standing in a circle in the back garden with cans and smoking roared up at me. They have a pizza oven in the back and my partner has complained that when they are using this or a bbq that they have the decency to inform us so that we can shut our skylights in the kitchen or take in our washing from the line. This has yet to be done. One of the visitors also in an Audi has an out of date insurance disc Feb 2016 and up til a month ago when I saw this vehicle it was still out of date. There is now a car outside their house with another out of date insurance disc albeit 10/16. The house is not registered as a rental property though the landlord has is registered business address here so perhaps they are down as care takers. The landlord really doesnt care at all. The people the other side are foreign nationals also but so quiet and lovely and there is no trouble. I am thinking that there must be something can be done about the overcrowding in the house particularly that there are 2 children living there. Does anyone have any thoughts on this. It would be nice to know exactly who one lived beside! Thank you

You're doomed. Welcome to the EU.

Had the exact same problem a few weeks back, the foreigners don't give two sh1ts. I called the police and was told it was a civil matter and that was the end of that, no help, no car, nothing. Made me sick. In the end I had to bombared the landlord with complaints till tehy where told to calmdown.

The apt next to me has an Irish couple. Neither has had a job as long as I've lived here. They get pissed at every hour of the day or night. I had a skype interview a couple of months ago. One of them vomited outside my sliding door during it (my apt is ground floor).

Above me are three students. There's students there every year. Girls the last two years, guys this year. One Wednesdays and Thursdays the music starts at about 7pm and goes on till midnight when they go out. Then it starts again at 3am when they get home.

there's not a lot you can do about it. In my case my neighbours are scumbags. Their friends who come over are scumbags. So if the noise gets too much I message the management firm and the local council. The council can fine people for noise after 10pm. The person who pays the fine is the owner, not the tenant. So it's an incentive for the landlord to shut them up or kick them out.
