Hello,
I've come to ask your advice for the following situation.
I have a lease in a shared freehold of two apartments on the first floor and ground floor of a house that has been converted.
Almost two years ago, the second floor was purchased by an owner who made a three year contract with the Council to house people in need.
With the first 2 families, everything went well, but since October, we have been living a nightmare.
It is a woman with 4 small children and a big dog.
We hear noise 24 hours a day. I work from home and it is impossible for me to have online meetings because she is either playing loud music, screaming, or the kids are crying.
We hear people running, jumping, all day and night. When they go down or up the stairs, because they are running, it sounds like an earthquake. They bang entrance door when coming in, when coming out.
The dog does its business in my garden.
I have to put the bins out for her in the street regularly on collection days.
She vandalized our doorbell, we don't even have a doorbell anymore, because the bailiffs who came to her would ring my doorbell first.
She leaves a child's stroller in the hallway, blocking access to our own apartment.
Because it is impossible for me to work from home, I set up my office in the conservatory and it cost me a fortune in heating last winter. I'm thinking about next winter, I can't afford such high costs for heating.
The dog barks a lot, every time we come home they assault us through the door, often starts barking for no reason in the middle of the night. I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
I wanted to ask you if I can turn to the owner of the apartment upstairs for breach of contract.
I thank you for your advice and wish you a good summer.
Sincerely
Michelle, sorry English not my native🤨
