2 doors down from me is landlord owned property and in the last 5 years several families have lived in it. The untold problems my neighbours have had with them is unbelievable. One of them had a big dog who used to get into theirs and my garden frighteneing my cats and another family used to have parties that went on till 7/8 in the morning. One time a fight broke after a party at 6 in the morning and spilt out into the street. several neighbours called the police.
When my nieces farther in law died he left a quite large house in trust to her three children It was converted into three flats and over the years they have had all sorts of people in them, families, foreign workers etc and they have only ever had trouble once and that was with a young local couple who on the face of it seemed the least likely to be a problem, on the other hand they've heard some horror stories from people who let property I suppose it's the luck of the draw
As Milly says, tenants ain't all bad. We've rented our house for eight years and have a fantastic relationship with our neighbours. We share cars, go out together and have even gone on holiday together. It's a great neighbourhood and I feel privileged to live here.
On the contrary, there were neighbours at the last house I rented (we were seven years there), who owned their place and who were absolutely dire. They and their kids used to cause all sorts of problems. On one occasion he parked his landrover so that the buses couldn't get through - not deliberately, but he refused to move it until he'd walked his daughter to school. Meantime three buses had backed up waiting to get through. He only moved his car then because another neighbour had called the police as one of the buses was blocking their drive. As the kids grew up, they caused or started numerous fights and managed to alienate themselves from all of us - tenants and owners. I stopped my kids from 'playing' with them when their son threw a brick at my lad's head and put him in hospital! It was supposedly accidental but they never even asked how he was.
