NASTY NEIGHBOUR-what are my rights? 

I am a homeowner living in a ground floor flat. The problem is the tenant upstairs who constantly makes my life a misery.

She is noisy, has behavioural problems, plays loud music, and doesn't work so she is at home all day. She litters the communal hallway with her possessions and refuses to listen to any advice or warnings about her behaviour.

I have spoken to her landlord who is reluctant to evict her because a) she has made threats to his safety b) he has guaranteed rent from her via her benefits c) he has just renewed her 12 month lease. Last year she promised to move out, took receipt of her deposit and then chose to stay. She did not return the deposit claiming she 'had spent it'.

I know this site gives indication of the landlord' rights and tenants' rights but WHAT ABOUT MY RIGHTS as a neighbour who 'has the right to a peaceful existence without undue disturbance'.

This neighbour of mine has caused me an enormous amount of stress and we often come to blows, mostly verbal but recently physical too.

Do I have rights and can I influence anyone's decision to have her removed?

Stressed from Southend.

It's a bit beyond the scope of this site really. I suggest you speak to your local Citizens Advice Bureau, though if you have been assaulted, then you can obviously bring charges using the police. Other avenues could include harrassment charges or an anti-social behaviour order, though I am not sure how this would affect the living arrangements, if at all. My guess is that the unwillingness of the landlord to contribute to moving the tenant is going to be a problem. Are there other homeowners in the building who could communally put pressure on the freeholders to in turn put pressure on the landlord? Could the landlord's lack of action put him/her in breach of the lease on the property?
Good luck - it would be interesting to hear what course of action you take and what the outcome is.
