Hello everyone, council tenant here...
A few weeks ago my 6yo daughter played with the taps in the bathroom and ended up flooding it. Thankfully we noticed quickly - it leaked into the downstairs flat causing flooded carpets. I lent my neighbour lots of towels to soak it up, and rented a carpet cleaner as he was concerned about damp/mold. I bought 5 litres of the best rated antibac/pet odour solution and advised him to read the instructions on both the bottle and cleaner.
Later on he was very pleased with the results but said was unable to do the whole carpet as he needs 2-3 more bottles! So he used 5 litres of concentrated solution on one part!
Everything seemed OK for a few days and I was pleased as we have had a negative history (he has been very noisy, anti social and inappropriate sexual behaviour - all reported and dealt with) so was good to be positive with each other.
He then claimed that it is "impossible to breathe" in the flat without having the windows open 24/7, that he and his daughter who visits are "at risk from posioning & cancer" from the "poisionous fumes, mold and asbestos". I advised him to call the council and Environmental Health if this is so, however I told him that I have seen his windows shut every morning & night as I work - he doesn't and became very uncomfortable when i stated this (due tur history I took photos each morning/night as I feared he would take the mickey here)
He is now harassing me daily telling me to pay £300 to some random guy on Whatsapp. The council have stated to me they are fed up with his complaints and attitude and they will not get involved.
Any advice greatly appreciated, thank you!
