I'm sick to death of the neighbours constant bassy music all night every night but can't afford to move and obviously someone like that will not listen to reason and I have reported him twice. Currently he has his music on louder than I can hear my TV. Should I cancel my tenancy and live in the car or suffer until I can save

If you’re n a block and he’s renting too, have a chance of getting him evicted for breach of contract / unsociable behaviour.

May take time but I managed to get my neighbour evicted.

The peaceful route,

Inform his landlord, inform the council , and the police, all in writing. Are there other neighbours affected? Get them onside.

And of course, there are other methods, but try the above ones first.

In a galaxy far far away

I feel your pain

In my old flat I had the neighbours from hell living above me.

A women with 4 young kids, laminated flooring running and jumping about till about 3am every morning.

Music constantly, parties and she didn't give a fuck.

I talked to her, left notes through the door, used to bang back.

Nothing worked.

I had to sleep with ear plugs in every night, which after a while hurt your ears as they make the insides really sore and sensitive.

In the end I spoke to my landlord and told them of the problem as I knew they had loads of properties and asked if they had any available to move into.

Eventually one became free and I moved here a year and a half ago. It's absolute bliss, don't hear a peak from any neighbours.

5 years I put up with that fucking bitch for. Hate is a strong word for me, but I fucking hate that women for what she put me through.

Sorry to hear, must be awful for you. Can't you get the landlord involved if is the same for both of you? Btw, keep clear records, try to record things, get the council involved as have special units. You may have done already. Keep cool though.

He's clearly on something with the way he screams. Also If lost the 'tude by time I got there. It's a long ass corridor then wait for lift or take stairs then take the long ass corridor back. Also someone who has music louder than a nightclub from 6pm till 2pm the following afternoon and continuing that for days or nights through the week while people have to work is not a reasonable person

But they’re stopping you from enjoying life. From your landlord’s perspective this would also make it very hard to rent the place again until it stops.

It's annoying. I get so angry when there is noise but as soon as they stop I feel bad for getting angry. I've sent an email asking for another apartment and if not then I'll just cancel the tenancy due to noise which I've complained about. Also I can never enjoy life in Bradford lol.

You can't reason with people who are like that, they won't give a fuck.

You can contact environmental health from your local council who will install monitoring equipment and push for enforcement action, but it takes ages to sort.

If he's in a council property they can work towards an eviction order, but again it takes time.

If he's a private tenant it's more complicated.

Speak to your landlord, see if he has any properties available.

Also, landlords are often in contact with other landlords through various chat and Facebook groups etc, ask if he knows any with available properties.

Have you tried seeing him randomly and being nice about it (maybe even jokey) and say can you play some kylie so we can both enjoy it lol but seriously I think facing this with anger fear or aggression will only make it worse. Just be friendly and mention it and hopefullly you can get it resolved. But reporting it or trying to get them thrown out will make your life hell if they find out so I’d try the softly softly approach.

Most L.A.’s have an ASB unit that is either part of the Housing department or environmental health department.

Despite what others tell you they take nosie nuance very seriously. However, they do need to gather evidence before action can begin.

If the L.A. is the landlord then they can take immediate action. With private landlords it can be a bit of more difficult.

Though often the council will initially issue a notice or a letter that often has the desired effect.

Though some tenants do ignore this.

The important thing is keep a diary and recordings. Without evidence it can be just a case of your word against there’s.

If it’s at unreasonable hours you can call out environmental health and they will gather evidence and confront the tenant so you don’t have too. That way it can be anonymous to who has reported them…

Yeah I'd need a proper sound recorder to get usable evidence and it's too much work over too long a time for me to bother. I do not want to start in this flat as it is so It's be putting in a lot of effort to more than likely leave before anything would happen

Despite the poor advice here do not provoke the situation by tit for tat measures as it only undermines your case.

Whilst it may sound like a good idea playing music really loud as revenge you are only going to annoy the other tenants. As well as destroy your credibility as being impacted by the anti social behaviour.

Your LA’s ASB unit should be your first choice.

Bradford is a shithole. It's the place you go where life isn't going how you want it. I don't want to live here, I just want to be able to sleep and relax. I have had better nights sleep in my car. It's not worth pursuing talking any action against someone like this to live in this god awful city. Honestly it's a better idea to live in the car to save for a van or something. At least I won't have to listen to some cunts shitty music constantly. It's made me lose interest in everything and I'm so fatigued and miserable. No point waiting months or years for some possible action to be taken when I don't be here in months or years

Yeah I'd need a proper sound recorder to get usable evidence and it's too much work over too long a time for me to bother. I do not want to start in this flat as it is so It's be putting in a lot of effort to more than likely leave before anything would happen"

No you don’t recording on a phone is sufficient.

Just turn the TV off when you’re recording.

The recording on your phone will also have a date and time stamp. This will act as the diary.

Just need to note how long it goes on for.

You will probably get ASB unit to turn up if you call them when it starts especially if it normally goes in for an hour or more….

You have to keep a log as proof put times down when it starts and finishes record it as proof to back up your frustration with the noise and disruption to your quality of life, go to the doctors if you have to and say you are feeling stressed because of it, will be further evidence, and will be able to get him evicted from his tenancy, and if he continues can get a breach of the peace against him as well.

One of my old neighbours used to play an electric guitar through the night and didn’t work so was asleep during the day, so when I went to work I set the radio to play really loud in the day time at different times of the day, amazingly he stopped playing the guitar at night.

I drank my beers before they started their music tonight so can't even go sleep in car. I'd I take sleeping pills I'll wake up constantly through the night struggling to breathe. It's a fucking Monday night. What kind of person has music this loud on a Monday night

I am so sorry OP, it's horrific and clearly affecting your mental and physical wellbeing. No one should have to suffer that level of noise disturbance.

.

I have suffered the same myself in the past, and at the time I was renting from a housing association. I wrote them a letter about how my quality of life was being impacted, and they jumped in to action right away.

.

I maintained a diary of "events" over 3-4 months. Date, time, duration, noise description, impact on me.

After that was submitted to them, they sent someone round to witness the event.

She'd been in the flat for 5 mins when the noise kicked off. She said to me "I see what you mean".

.

The neighbour was evicted a month later due to a) noise nuisance and b) they were sub-letting their flat to a family member.

.

They didn't have a leg to stand on and got booted out.

.

I do feel your landlord has a duty of care, but I wonder if they are a bit too comfortable with the rent being paid whilst you remain there ? That might change if they realise the gravity of the situation, especially if they cannot let it out to another tenant.

.

Earplugs are one suggestion someone said earlier. But then how would you hear a fire alarm in your flat ? You could should for an environmental risk here as well if people tell you to wear ear plugs. I hope things resolve for you.

How long do I have to wait for 4 beers to wear off. Like the 660ml bottles. Might as well just head to Bristol as soon as it does

See if your landlord can link to it to hear the recordings

Make sure you include the word Formal in your complaint to the landlord

Look at the local council website

Look at the ombudsman rules so your landlord has to follow them

"In Bradford ASB is handled by a joint partnership between the police and Bradford C.C. called Safer Bradford

ASB can be reported here…

https://www.saferbradford.co.uk/community-safety/anti-social-behaviour/

Bradford is a shithole. It's the place you go where life isn't going how you want it. I don't want to live here, I just want to be able to sleep and relax. I have had better nights sleep in my car. It's not worth pursuing talking any action against someone like this to live in this god awful city. Honestly it's a better idea to live in the car to save for a van or something. At least I won't have to listen to some cunts shitty music constantly. It's made me lose interest in everything and I'm so fatigued and miserable. No point waiting months or years for some possible action to be taken when I don't be here in months or years"

I agree Bradford is a shithole I went there once and nothing will ever persuade me to live there.

However ASB teams have a duty to resolve complaints in a set period of time…. Not months or years.

Eash time it happened report.

If it’s going on tonight… report it.

If you haven’t reported it then there is part of the problem.

You can’t complain if you have been provided with the mechanism to report the issue but you fail to do so.

It's possible their landlord isn't the same as mine. It's also possible they own their flat. East plugs will isolate the bass and make it more prominent

It's been quiet a couple minutes. That's the thing, if I report when it's playing, it might stop when someone investigates. I'm just sitting here waiting for it to start again. I'm amazed no one else seems to have reported him. Clearly he's been at it since before I moved in. Are they scared of him? Should I be?

If you have had several beers and you are over the limit to drive, then sleeping in your car could land you in a lot of trouble IF you have your car keys on you whilst you sleep in the vehicle and you get a knock from the fuzz.

You have to be able to prove that you cannot drive the car.

Thus, the car keys need to be in the flat. Whilst not 100% proof to a copper that you could just go and get them, it might strengthen your case that they are not in your possession in the vehicle.

If a friend nearby could hold on them that would be better. Though I would hope you could borrow their sofa or guest bed for the night, in such a situation. I am not a lawyer, but having your car keys on you whilst sleeping in the car and being intoxicated could work against you.

I know. I didn't mean tonight. I mean end my tenancy and just live in the car instead of this flat. I don't have friends who could offer a couch. Once I get back from my few days in Bristol, more than likely having good sleep for a change, I'll have a better idea on what to do

Phew, thank you for the clarification.

I agree, a few days away, get some sleep and see how you feel after. I hope things move in a more positive direction for you.

I know you say you just want to leave and once you do it will be fine, but the person needs a kick up the arse for future people thay will live in your property amd have to go through the same.

Report it, every single time! Call 101 non urgent to report it tonight and every time it is out of hours. I had to do it with a neighbour and they sent someone out to talk to them, and told me that if it occurs again to call back, which I did.

Tbf it's not exactly late. My problem is I'm too soft. The second it stops I just think well that's what he enjoys. But he literally does not leave that flat. The music is pretty much 24/7 he sleeps less than me on a weekend because I'm trying to catch up on missed sleep because of work and I Go to bed when his music is on and get woken up because of his crappy music.

I sent a complaint to landlord and decided to cancel it. They did say to keep logs though. I'll keep logs and try recording until my tenancy ends it I have enough saved to move before then so they can take action by means of "a letter" before any new tenant arrives.
