Nightmare tenant above

Brilliant post Kevin
.

Thanks Mark, I've just promised him a room at the local nick for his behaviour if he carries on interrupting my classical music! (I didn't log that "nice friendly" conversation down lol)....

The landlord came round today to sort it out, my boyfriend went through everything, the landlord said I told him to use his headphones and not to use the punch bag.

The tenancy on the flat is till Jan and he said if I gives him notice, that would be 3 months of Jan. To be honest he does not want to give notice because for the last months he would loose rent.

He is moving in to the flat above in Jan and they have to leave at the beginning. It turns out that his girlfriend is pregnant and in 3 months time they are going to the council so that they can be housed by them.

I understand that he does not want to loose the rent for the last few months. But it would make it easier if he was kicked out, after the landlord left he called my boyfriend after to tell him what he had told upstairs. He said that the man that lives across came out and said your tenant above can be heard swearing all the time and the police have been called out a few times.

The landlord said that upstairs wanted to come down to say sorry, but my boyfriend had said before he did not want him too as it was all hot air.

The landlord said that upstairs have to be out by jun because he is moving into the flat, is my boyfriend stating after Jun not sure.

It sounds like you are having a nightmare as well and when you can not relax it is hell. I like a bit of classical as well, so that would grate and I wish the guy above did because Tchaikovsky or puccini would be ok, blaring out not dance music.

My boyfriend got back before from town and yes music loudly played, phone call to the landlord how called him who said oh I did not realize it was that loud.

I hope that your nightmare man gets sorted out and why do people do this and my friend bought her house and the tenants next door would get drunk and abusive. She told them to keep it down they said we will burn your house down, she went to the landlord and got no where. She ended up selling the house and moved because it was a nightmare.

Hi, Ive also had a similar tenant, drinking, drugs then loud music and fighting ... its on a loop, lovely when their sober ... or asleep. I kept ringing the police and so did the other tenants, you need to wear them down .... keep doing it over and over again, and keep ringing the landlord over and over again ... hopefully at some point they will give in and start listening to you, its the only way, don't let people like this get the better of you and make other peoples lives a misery. Good Luck !!!

The issue is you can only ask landlord to evict them. its up to him to evict. Most towns have an anti social behaviour officer, try the police. If the lady upstairs wont accept whats happening there is very little you can do. Quickest way to evict is S21, yes notice is longer but it is a guaranteed result and usually only 1 hearing.

Hi Claire, I think S21's are great to get people out but like you said it takes time. I think S8 grounds 12 and 14 show that the landlord actually has a reason.

He may lose rent but personally I think that's a bit greedy. Yes he will get rent but the neighbours of this tenant sound like they can't stand him! Lets hope he actually calms down now. Like previously mentioned record every time from after the landlord's visit that the tenant is disruptive and if he carries on, tell the landlord something needs to be done.

I like your comment and yes I think that he is being greedy.The neighbors next door, across the road, at the back of the house, my boyfriend all hate him and maybe more.
The man across the road asked if he lived here because he had put a note through his door and and he said that he did not want things to go further. He new that someone across complained about him as well. The man came back and said his landlord should told that he is growing weed. To be honest the landlord came down listened and told him off, but now we look at is the landlord acting like it is only a bit of noise and arguing. Even though my boyfriend said, how bad it was and the landlord said he had told him before to behave and said to my boyfriend one more thing and he is out. I do not think the landlord is that bothered he want the money and does not want to loose 2 months rent if they go. The flat above is only being rented to nightmare tenant till Jan and then the Landlord is moving into it.
I do want when he moves in for people to complain to him about them or hope that he feels uncomfortable. When the man across said the police have been round a few times, when most neighbors have complained to him and he is not bothered, you just have to wait till Jan.I am not taring all landlords the same but he does seem to just want the money and could of kept a tighter control on upstairs, to check that they were behaving rather than being Mr laid back all the time. He does not respond to phone calls when you call about it, from the neighbors or my boyfriend.

Wow. Just keeps getting better for you doesn't it! 🙁
I think we've done all we can now but keep us posted with new developments by all means
