Noisy Neighbours
First try to resolve any noise-related problems by talking to your neighbour, in a firm but friendly manner. This can save a lot of stress and expense.
It may be possible to arrange for someone to help you resolve a dispute. If your neighbour agrees, an independent third party – a mediator – can help to sort things out. If the noisy neighbour is a tenant, you can make a complaint to the landlord. Most tenancy agreements require tenants not to do anything that would constitute a nuisance to neighbours. The landlord can use the tenancy agreement to deal with the problem if it persists, with eviction as the last resort. Section 144 of the Housing Act 1996 also allows excessive noise nuisance to be possible grounds for eviction.
If informal approaches do not work, you may have to complain to your local council. The environmental health department can investigate your complaint and put a stop to the noise if it is excessive. To help the process, keep a record or log of the problem including the times and duration of the noisy activity.
