I'm in England, UK - so English law applies - and can't afford lawyer.
I live in a very old country house (poss listed). The woman that has just moved into the flat below has complained to the landlord about me walking in the flat - and the landlord has asked me to stop it
The floor are wooden / hallow with thin carpet (no underlay). I'm at work during the week but home most evenings. I will go make a drink / use the toilet. I do not dance / exercise, jump about play music etc or run or stomp. The most that can be said is that I'm overweight.
The prior tenent did not moan / have an issue - but told the landlord I was noisy once in the past year while they were here (a visiting friend!). The prior tenent use to smoke weed / play loud (rubbish) music and liked 'young' girls - so 10 times more to compain about him - but I don't bother complaining as I'm easy to live with. Also single so half the noise of a couple?
I feel the new tenant below is being unreasonable as I am only walking. And don't walk about all the time. I may spend 20 mins tidying up the flat and maybe get a drink / go to the toilet on the hour.
Is the tenant below being unreasonable? What about the building reg about soundproofing in a listed building? Is she more in the wrong for 'haressing' to now walk in my flat. I am now trying to be as quite as possible - but as I was only walking its hard to do - and should I have to tip-toe about? So I expect here to complain again. Personally (and I am bias here - but on a scale of 1 to 10 I'm a boring number 2 - so quiet - and its kettle pot black as they make more noise than me - including walking about).
Many thanks
Thanks Barry - the house was convert into flats I believe 2 or even 3 years ago. It was at once point some sort of care home - but I believe it was office use just before becoming residential. When did the new rules come into force? Thanks
