  • Council (Housing Association) - New neighbors making false complaints - Meeting 14/12

    Hi,

    First of all I dont know if you deal with council questions so if not please let me know.

    I have recieved a letter from my housing association asking me to come into a meeting about noise complaints.

    When I asked what they were as I have always tried my best to not make any noise - I was shocked when they told me the complaints.

    - I am supposedlly dragging furtniture round the house all night.

    - My dog is barking 24/7

    - I'm playing loud music all night.

    Baring in mind I suffer from life threatning astmah (confirmed by the hospital) and why the council housed me in the first place - and because im a vunrible person. - so to try to drag furnture round for a long time would almost certainlly lead to an attack. (Plus even if i was capible of doing that - seems like the most boring thing I could think of doing minus watching paint dry - Why would anyone even do this at all)

    - the only dog that is ever here is my friends who comes to visit me - again because of my astmah to check if im ok as i live alone - the dog is litterlly silent - unless you ask her to bark - which we have only done once during the day - he was showing me she can actually bark - even then she struggles to do a full bark.

    - I rarly play music and if i do it will always be in the day - and certainlly not loud - music isnt really my thing if im honest.

    -------------------------

    I have since learned from my other next door neighbor they knocked there yesterday or the day before with a letter headed bit of paper from the housing association asking them if they could email them and say they find me threatning - So they are also trying to get the other neighbors to go along with them - I find this unacceptable. (So did they - as they refused - and my next door neighbor said tell the council to contact him if they need to and he will tell them what he really hears - which as he said to me has never been a problem)

    (Anyone that knows me would tell you im the least threatning person they know - I have litterlly never had a fight in my life and am conflict adverse - it scares me a lot - i would never be threatning to anyone)

    the only time i have ever spoken to them was when the man was on his way in - and I said hi nice to meet you have you just moved in i live upstairs - trying to be a good neighbor!

    -------------------------------

    I am at a loss as to why this is happining - the lady from the council wasnt too helpful on the phone when i told her what i had learned. she just said well you dont know all the accusations yet - come to the meeting and we will hear your side.

    ----------------------------------

    I feel like im being ambushed by the council on these false accusations and feel like im being treated like some kind of criminal in their eyes - and i have done everything I can to do it right - and dont understand why this is even going on.

    ------------------------------------

    Is there anything i can do? - where do i stand legally with this as well - It is incrediblly unfair - especiially as stress is a big trigger for my astmah and the council know this.

    I have been living here over a year so i have a secure tennacy - they most likly have an introductry tennancy as they have not been here 6 months even.

    Thank you in advance
