Totally OT but I need to vent and probably cry

This is an awful situation, and I understand why you are devastated - I think it is certainly a good thing that the landlord is trying to find you somewhere else to live. If he were to, do you feel ready to pack everything up and move in between now and the wedding? Maybe start to collect boxes and things from supermarkets now, just to be prepared. x

We are starting to pack today we still have boxes from when we moved in and the rest can be put in bags. Just feel so stressed, I cant even have a bath and relax because they always kick off just as I relax sods law x

Oh no, what an awful thing to be going through just before the wedding. Hope the landlord manages to find a new place for you soon.

Have you complained to anyone else? Perhaps the police or council? They're probably known to both?

I know that you really want to move but before the wedding would be so stressful. We moved a month after the wedding because of our noisy/nosy neighbours (who seem mild compared to what you've been through).

Fingers crossed he can, I really don't want to even see them again you know its bad when your h2b wont let you stay home alone because he is scared the drug dealer might come round and get the wrong flat

No I havent, I dont know why I just havent complained to the police, I should have. The council are aware because they are both on benefits. They have been warned before they will lose their benefits if it continues. I dont know if environmental health would be appropriate. Im not used to having to deal with people like this lol that must sound really snobby.

Not snobby at all my love, we shouldn't have to deal with people like this.

The police are a good start, it may be and idea to start keeping a diary of the disturbances (FIL is a policeman). They may refer you to environmental health who in some cases will visit and do a decible reading.

I so know how u feel as when we 1st moved in we found out we lived next door to a couple who were heroin addicts, they were shouting and fighting things bein banged around and we were worried bout our kids, luckily they got kicked out bout year after us constantly having to ring our landlady who knew theirs.

also our little girl has just started school last wek and for the last weeks has been constantly crying and getting upset and not wanting to go and waking up having nightmares so it feels like we cant enjoy the last 3 weeks before we get married but fingers crossed today has been 1st day she has't got upset before going....i wish u luck on moving and getting them out the flat!

Nightmare situation. We had a junkie/drug dealer in the bottom floor of our old flat and I hated it. We didn't have any trouble initially but things started to get worse, broken windows, threats written on the close door etc. Glad your landlord is doing everything he can to help you, hope you get it sorted soon.

Not sure where you stay but admin fees are illegal in Scotland and they're on their way out in England too. Check the Shelter website for info on it. If an agency asks you for hefty "admin" fees then you can challenge them on it. Some places will let you pay the deposit in instalments, especially when you're having to leave your current flat in a rush. If you're really stuck for money it's always worth asking what they can figure out for you. Your current landlord should be able to give you a good reference to support your request. Good luck!

thanks PP I will start a journal, I can backdat it, I still have texts to family explaining what has happened etc I still feel snobby but I guess its just because I wasnt raised around people like this.
CharChar I dont know how you managed it with children I just couldnt do it, its hard enough with the cats getting stressed. Fingers crossed your little girl continues to feel ok about going to school.
Kriek we are in Merseyside. The admin fees are still about £160 in some agencies, one agency has told us we have to pay two months in advance (1 month rent and another as deposit) then £100 per cat, then the £160 admin fees. We just cant do it with the wedding but might have to afterwards if our landlord cant get us anywhere.

I'm in a very similar situation and I feel your pain. In our block of 4 we have a heroin dealer, a homeless unit (not judging cos its homeless, but the last tenant was a total lunatic alcoholic who was evicted a month ago and its not filled yet) and a young guy who likes to party loud. And us.

We are in a housing association flat, and cant afford to rent privately as our rent would triple, and I'm a student. We have complained to the police, the council and the housing office for over a year. At one point we were phoning the police 3 times a day. We have had stabbings and suspicious deaths in the building. But we are completely over a barrel as we cant get a private let. We have been threatened for phoning the police, had our door, windows and cars vandalised.

We have been promised a new flat next month. This was 6 weeks ago and we are still waiting for them to confirm it in writing.

But - sorry, I totally went off on a tangent there! Have you tried speaking to the council? And I dont mean noise prevention/asbo people, I mean housing office?

Our next option if we dont get moved next month is buying a wee caravan and parking on his parents driveway.

Poor you,noisy neighbours are a complete nightmare. Have you not got somebody you can stay with in the run up to the wedding if nothing gets sorted before then ? x

CharChar I dont know how you managed it with children I just couldnt do it, its hard enough with the cats getting stressed. Fingers crossed your little girl continues to feel ok about going to school.

thank you, and whoo hoo day 2 without any tears just hope it stays that way so we can enjoy the next 3 weeks especially as everything is sorted.

Oh Safyre that is so bad!!! I cant believe you have just been left like that. I would be calling the housing every day demanding to know when I would be moved
Selenalee my mum has offered but I really dont want to leave our cats alone in the flat they couldnt come with us as would upset my parents cat A part of me is just being stubborn too I dont see why i should have to move when its them thats the problem lol stupid arent I?
Thats fantastic CharChar im sure she will keep going and be super happy xxx
