Re: NEIGHBOURS FROM HELL - DO YOU HAVE SOME? 14Mar 26, 2012 10:44 am What an awful situation to be in - I would be writing to the local paper and shaming the council in my letter. Its a disgrace that she is allowed to continue living like that and even worse that her situation is directly affecting you. I wonder how your local counciller would like living next door to that?? Re: NEIGHBOURS FROM HELL - DO YOU HAVE SOME? 15Mar 26, 2012 2:17 pm auds - I have thought about 'going public' with it, will see how it pans out over the next few months. NFH has actually been away for around 5 days now and she has taken her dog too. Its been so quiet and peace-full. Hope she never comes back Re: NEIGHBOURS FROM HELL - DO YOU HAVE SOME? 16Mar 26, 2012 5:26 pm that would be good! Have you got any other neighbours nearby who feel the same way and can maybe back you up? Re: NEIGHBOURS FROM HELL - DO YOU HAVE SOME? 17Mar 26, 2012 5:57 pm Pretty much everyone that is around here but only a few of us are prepared to do anything. The others dont want to get involved. she came home this afternoon too Re: NEIGHBOURS FROM HELL - DO YOU HAVE SOME? 18May 04, 2012 2:57 pm We owned a house for 5 years in a beautiful area in nsw. Our next door neighbour lived on a large property on his own, with his 2 dogs. the lady next door to him continually called the rangers on his dogs and they kept giving him warnings and fines until he sodl up and moved on. then she started on us, complaining to the council about our dogs. me and my wife work so the dogs are in the backyard at home while we are at work. she then started sending letters to everyone in the street asking them to call up and complain. the ranger called me and told me about the complaint and said the dogs barked when he approached my house and stopped. even tho he said that we kept getting fines and letters. we got so sick and tired of it we sold our HOME and left. Moral of the story is.... if you are unhappy with your neighbours, it is going to make you very unhappy. do u want to live an unhappy life? I didnt. I am about to buy a 300 acre property, so I dont have to bother worrying about NFH anymore. Good luck Re: NEIGHBOURS FROM HELL - DO YOU HAVE SOME? 19May 04, 2012 3:21 pm Call the cops on her about the drug habit and tell them you think she is dealing. Call the RSPCA on the barking dog, tell them you dont believe its being looked after, they will come and investigate. Give the health department a call re the lack of sewerage and the fact it seeps into your yard and while your at it call in the council on her wrecking yard. You might also want to add in the Salvation Army as they may come and help her out as well. If all else fails, find some unsavoury people to go and knock on her door for a polite discussion about her habits I feel sorry for you i really do. We currently live in a town house and whilst the strata is great, they are very nosey which gets me offside. We have a 14 month old Labrador who loves to have a swim in her kiddies pool, one of those half shell things. I was storing it on our pergola out the back until i received a letter from strata saying it had to be removed as there was a risk of someone being injured and sueing strata.... as if i would sue the strata fund for damages caused by MY pool blowing off MY pergola.... people just cant keep their nose out of other peoples business anymore My situation is nowhere near as bad as yours hence the reason i feel sorry for you Re: NEIGHBOURS FROM HELL - DO YOU HAVE SOME? 20May 05, 2012 11:19 pm Levonk Moral of the story is.... if you are unhappy with your neighbours, it is going to make you very unhappy. do u want to live an unhappy life? I didnt. I am about to buy a 300 acre property, so I dont have to bother worrying about NFH anymore. Good luck I understand where you are coming from but I do not want to give up on what we want to achieve here. Id rather fight fire with fire and try and drive HER out actually. I have more of a right to be here than she does because at the end of the day, I am living in council approved conditions, Im not breaking any laws nor am I trying to pi$$ anyone off around by being deliberately loud and arrogant. 300acres would be nice though BradS If all else fails, find some unsavoury people to go and knock on her door for a polite discussion about her habits lol. the problem is the unsavoury people are probably her associates it depends on the natural ground level, if they excavated their boundary wall needed to be built as a retaining wall.
