OK, I spoke to Dean this evening. He’s spoken to ****’s mother, but I don’t think he’s been to the letting agent.
Now, it seems that Mrs **** (no offense to her as she seems quite nice, just I don’t know her name so…) is starting to finally believe what I’ve been saying. When Dean mentioned that most of the hassle seems to have been the result of certain visitors, she asked who. She was then given a description of the little scrote who threatened me.
“Oh.”
Apparently one of the reasons they moved **** out of where they were and into another area was to get him away from this ****. That friendship, apparently, was over. Because that makes so much sense. If you don’t want your son to do something under your own roof where you can watch him, pack him off about 5 miles away into a house of his very own where he’ll definitely not do anything naughty at all, oh no.
Stupid cow. Again, I’m sure she’s nice and lovely and everything but howay. How bloody daft can you be?
Now, Dean reckons if I can prove that he’sdoing drugs next door, she’ll likely pack him up and shift him out herself. Thing is, that’s about the only thing that’s liable to end the 12-month tenancy early.
The contract is tighter than a gnat’s chuff. And it seems to favour one person and one person only – the letting agent. The homeowner can’t evict anyone, as he’s tied to the contract as well. There are clauses such as “no pets” etc etc, but Dean was incredibly vague about things when I mentioned that. If there are clauses, then how the hell do they action them? They’re not allowed to disturb the neighbours… yet when they do, the letting agent chooses to ignore it. No dogs, ignores it. No drugs, ignores it.
The only way they have of getting feedback is from neighbours as they certainly don’t check themselves. Thing is, they ignore the neighbours (or simply hang the ******* phone up on them, the ignorant ********) so there’re no way they could find anything out.
So. Stalemate. What I’m going to do is charge the video camera up and keep it handy. Any more noise, I’ll tape it. Any appearances from the bug-eyed freak, I’ll video it. Anyone else in my ******* garden, recorded. If what it takes is to spy on him, then I guess that’s what I’ll have to do. I’ve got his mother’s number, so if I get enough to prove that his little cock of a friend’s been over, then I’ll show her and let the sparks fly.
Other thing is he’s on a 12-month lease which Dean can opt not to extend. Thing is, I can’t remember when **** moved in. I don’t think it’s much past new year though. But we’re back in the same situation. He’s gotten away with being a selfish, unruly, pikey fuckwit again.
So.
I guess there may be more updates. *sigh* I’m off to fill in the forms the council sent regarding the noise. Again.
keep us updated and JJ I would put into the fund if it was sorted.. 🙂
Not sure what you can do now. Just keep hoping and documenting what happens until the little ****** and his mates step majorly out of line – then get the cops in.
or, you could ring the Met police and tell them that you think an Al Quaida cell (yes, I know it’s not spelt right) has arrived next door. Then Sir Ian Blair might shoot him and his mates for you…………problem solved.
gets coat…………………..laughter is usually the best medicine.
Get an ASBO against the guy’s mate. He’s antagonising the whole thing.
As for the letting agent, you could hire a lawyer to force the letting agent to see your documentation. Or have a word with Citizens Advice.

hey fellow posters and lurkers – how about we set up a mosh fighting fund which could be used to pay a solicitor to start action against the letting agency for failing in their contractual / implied duty of care – bet that’ll get their notice…
Echo – sadly I don’t have the letting agent’s home address or I’d be tempted to just go round and knock on his door every single time I was being disturbed. I’m tempted to keep on doing the same with ****’s parents, but I almost feel bad as they seem like very nice people (if a bit bloody stupid)
Chris – council do have email, but I want to stay on their right side. Dunno about the letting agent, but if I can get one then “flame on” say I! As for an ASBO, yes I thought so as well. Sadly, nobody’s mentioned them (police, council, etc) so I dunno. I do, however, want one (or a restraining order) against the goggle-eyed ******.
Echo – Ohh, a good spamming! These spam senders have very good ways around spam filters. Let’s sign them up, flame them and sign them up for some junk mail as well.
Iain – I thought it was quite easy to get an ASBO nowadays? It would be quite funny to get the toe rag banned from his own house 🙂
Good luck with the secret camera work and the spying ! Sorry the frustration still continues – and with more forms to fill out (grrr).
Any way you can get compensation for the pain, suffering, lack of sleep, and cramped fingers from all the forms you’ve had to fill out over and over again ? Can you call the letting agent (at home, in the middle of the night) every time there’s an issue ?
Do the council and letting agent have email ? Your supporters could send lots of emails on your behalf . . . she innocently suggests.
