Hi fellow forumites but I need some advise on a problem I haven't struck before.
New male tenant in one flat is making himself a nuisance with a female tenant in another flat in a block of 12.
The young lady in question has rung me and requested I sort it out. The new tenant was selected by a property management company but we are taking over the day to day running next week.
My guess is all I can do is talk to the male tenant and suggest that he cease and desist. If he doesn't heed the friendly advise do I have any recourse under the RTA? Can I use the 'Quiet Enjoyment' gambit and say he is destroying the quiet enjoyment of the other tenant. In all other respects he has been fine.
Is the next step the Police or some sort of exclusion order. The female tenant is upstairs and the guy from downstairs would have no need to go up. Presumably the female tenant would have to initiate this.
I've met the male tenant and he strikes me as being very shy and difficult to speak to. The young lady says that he peers out at her through a gap in the door as she passes and when the guy first arrived he struck up conversations with her by asking her questions about rubbish arrangements etc. He has now taken to knocking on her door at ten in the evening and then calling out when she doesn't answer. She is of course somewhat unnerved by all of this as she lives alone.
I've offered to put a chain on her door immediately. What are my rights and obligations in all this.
My prefered outcome would be for him to see sense and stop bothering her. Failing that I want him out quickly.
Hope someone has some helpful advise.
