Hi, I'm a council tenant and the neighbour bullying me is a leaseholder.
I've been having problems with this neighbour for sometime... mainly his music playing and noise late at night when he has lots of his friends around. I have asked him nicely if he could keep his music down late in the evenings and at night on a two occasions in the past and he was quiet for about a week then he got some sub woofers and plays the music even louder with constant bass thumps almost everyday and then from there he has became very antisocial and has large threatening looking gangs around his flat on most nights making lots of noise banging on the walls, shouting while playing loud thumpy bass music. I've also been verbally abused by this neighbour. He has also made friends with some of the surrounding neighbours who also come into his flat and join in with the noise making.
I often have to wear headphones to drown out the noise or sleep at my mothers house.
I really wanted to avoid complaining as I'm generally scared of my neighbour and his friends but I guess something has to be done otherwise the problem will continue I also fear for my safety at times.
I have called the antisocial line and the person I spoke to on the phone didn't seem all that interested and I was told they would call me back within 24 hours to take a more detailed report which they never did.
I really don't want to have to move because this is my dream flat and I've put a lot of work and money into it over the years. Its a very unique large spacious flat and I'd never get another one like it.
I've been taking down notes writing down the dates and times of the incidences and I've also been doing some recordings of there noise late at night.
Whats the best thing I can do?
Thanks.* *
