:evil:Sorry but i HAVE to get this off my chest. I dont want to cause any offence to anyone though.
We bought our house brand new 2 years ago we have neighbours on both sides one of which is students who rent a 3 bed place. Ours and our other next door are 4 bed. Our problem is with these students and our main issue is there garden. We do over look there garden and its a fing mess. They have weeds about 2-3 foot high in the back its like a jungle which are now coming into our garden. Supermarket trollys in there back garden and the frount is completly overgrown. Last summmer my husband ended up mowing there frount lawn cos we got so fed up of it. My husband and I are both quite house and garden proud although are garden is quite low maintanance. We own our house outright which my husband has worked so hard for us to be able to do. I don't expect them to take as much pride as we do cos at the end of the day its not there home. They could at least try though as its so upsetting for us. Its a real eyesore not to mention it affects the value of our home. In the contract of sale that there landlord would of signed its does state that you have to maintain your garden to a reasnable and tidy standard. So my husband has pointed this out to them because we so sick of it and we got a snotty letter back from them. Saying they've been busy. Yes one of them is very busy gawping in at me when I'm cooking the dinner. Maybe i shouldn't be annoyed by this but I'm really pee'd off. I could go on and on but I have prob said more than enough.

what a nightmare! we own other houses with tenants so ive just checked with my chap (cant get used to the abbreviations -?oh?). he said that in most cases that it is the responsibility of the tenant - your students! he said you could try the landlord, but many of them dont care (we would-i promise!) as long as they are getting the rent.
he suggested that you complain to the council - they have records on who owns every house so should be able to pass onto the landlord. he also said that it could come as a shock to the landlord what a tip it has become. not all of them / or management companies do quarterly inspection visits to ensure the place is tip top.
another thing to consider is contacting Environmental Health? it certainly sounds like it could be needed!
i hope you can get it sorted, its not what you need is it!
