Hi all,


My nightmare neighbours have moved out but they?ve filled all the rubbish bins and left near the bins (Yes not even next too) about 10 more black bags full, broken clothes rails and broken draws etc..


When I look on Southwark under fly tipping (not sure if it even is) it only talks about reporting rubbish for Southwark streets and council owned estates so I assume they won?t do anything as these are privately rented flats.


Hopefully the bin men will take it but seeing as a lot of it is not in the bins, just an unsightly mess in our front garden, I?m not sure they will. Plus bins aren't collected till Monday so I have no where to put my rubbish and if they?ve left anything perishable, the foxes will be at as soon as!


Any ideas? Or just hope the bin men take it?


Thanks!

I would leave a nice note for your binmen on Monday explaining - and that you will appreciate anything that they can do to get rid of everything. Ours have always been as helpful as they can on stuff like that. (Maybe with a box of Celebrations or similar if it?s not too hot!)


Otherwise you might need to go via [email protected] but they are running really behind of enquiries due to Covid so it won?t be a quick fix.

Or it might be easier to identify the Agent letting the place and let them know. Alot of people/Landlords will have a 'Check Out' report done, which should include excessive rubbish being left behind and then the outgoing tenants can be charged the cost of disposing of it from their deposit.

Thank you all for your replies!


I?ve e-mailed Southwark environment but don?t hold out much hope for a quick response. Will try the letting agent/landlord although they didn?t care before about their nuisance tenants.


As predicted, the foxes didn?t take long, so at 2 in the morning I had to go out and clear up all the mess and try to stuff more bags into the bins. Great fun. Also they?ve clearly never heard of recycling and also just chucked their used metal cutlery away!

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
