Rubbish dumped

    I have moved into my brothers house. The house next door has about 50 black sacks of rubbish dumped between their house and their wall, which is only divided from my property by that wall. As my house is a few feet on an upward slope I can see right down on all this at my side passage. I like to live and let live, but the other day I spotted a rat running by. I have 2 young daughters (3 and 6) who play in the back garden, and I am concerned about the health implications. The house next door is let by a landlord, but I'm not sure how I should handle it. I don't want to ask them to move the rubbish and I find that I have no leg to sand on.

    Thanks, Ross

    Ring the landlord first and tell him his tenants are stockpiling rubbish instead of paying for it to be removed. I'm sure he/she won't want rats any more than you do.

    Call the council too.

    The landlord should have no problem with the fact that you're bothered by this catastrophe. Seriously, rats? Give me a break. You have young children abound. It's a disgrace.

    Some landlords will ignore issues as long as they get their rent money

    Stockpiling rubbish however is one issue that they won't ignore

    Call them up OP

    Tenants who stockpile trash leave it for the landlord to sort out. He will want it cleaned up.

    Does anyone still live next door, or have they left?

    never mind the landlord. Ring Council immediately. Also let neigbours around know.
    No harm to exaggerate a bit re the number of rats

    Similar problem with neighbour (minus rats so far), hasn't put out a bin since the DCC changeover earlier this year. House is not rented.

    Call env. health. This carry on is not acceptable. The tenants are responsible of course, it's their filth, not the landlord's.
