    Just wanted to get peoples opinion on points related to landlords and adjoining neighbours:

    If an issues arose regarding a tenanted house, would it be etiquette or a requirement to contact the landlord first before approaching the tenants themselves? or would mentioning it to the tenants first be ok?

    What redress or mechanisms exist in Ireland to protect neighbours in adjoining houses where issues arise with tenants and say the issues were not resolved by either the tenants or landlord.

    Many thanks :)

    Knock into the tenants first, especially if its something like a noise complaint or about bins / pets etc..

    Its quite rude and childish imo to go straight to the landlord / gards etc...

    If after you approach the tenant and landlord you are having problems with anti social behaviour and the tenant/landlord are not addressing the issue you can file a complaint with the PRTB. If you give details of the issue we would be better able to offer advice

    Thanks for your replies. I don't want to go into too much detail as I've spent the day replying to the landlords emails and don't want to inflame the situation further. I was bemused by his threat of solicitors letters and that I was trespassing. And this resulted from pleasantly talking to his tenants once on Friday evening to resolve a minor issue.

    He ascertains that approaching his tenants disrupts them from "the enjoyment" of his property and that I have no right to communicate with them on issues relating to his house (an adjoining house), my next door neighbours. I should only communicate with him on these issues.

    The issue suffice to say is resolved but such drama. :confused:

    LOL. His grasp on peoples rights seems questionable. Glad it is resolved.

    BTW you would only be trespassing if the tenant specifically asked you to leave and you refused or else if you were prowling
