I live next door to a rental.

 

In general the tenants have been awesome. They have moved out and the house is being done up for sale.

 

The landlord however has been a huge problem. He has cost me not insignificant money with council consents (which I got).

 

So I am half interested in costing him some money.

 

What can I do to be a terrible neighbour (but legal) that will cost him with either a lower offer or cause him to miss out.

 

Some ideas:

 

  • Play let it go on repeat while there are open homes
  • have my charcoal bbq spewing stinky white smoke
  • Sit outside in boxers drinking beers performing the above
  • cease mowing lawns
  • High intensity fairy lights outside their lounge
  • Pile garden debris against shared fence

So - what red flags would a neighbour show that would make you walk away or lower your offer?

 

Legal, kinda funny, and I may have to live next door to these people so not too embarrassing :P

Yep, act like trash when prospective buyers turn up next door for a looksee....

 


Then you'll only get trash moving in next door. Because good decent people wont want to live there

 

:-)

 

Ive had trash living in the rental next door. Its your worst nightmare .

Hang your rug over the fence to air-out?
