🏡 Neighbour’s Garden Got You Holding Your Nose? 🤢
Imagine moving into your dream home only to be met with the pungent pong of your neighbour’s garden. That’s exactly what’s happened to one homeowner, who’s found themselves stuck with a nose-wrinkling problem.
After tackling their neighbour’s overgrown “forest” of trees infiltrating their space, they thought they could finally enjoy their garden. But a monstrous stench from over the fence soon put a stop to that! And the culprit? A large dog leaving behind piles of a rather unpleasant surprise on the patio.
The new resident took to Reddit to spill about the situation, hoping for advice without sparking a neighbourly feud. They’re worried about causing tension but are fed up with the stink wafting in every time they open their door.
🌿 What can you do if you’re in a similar stink? In the UK, ongoing smells affecting your home can be reported to your local council as a “statutory nuisance” under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
đź‘€ Concerned for the pooch? If there’s any suspicion of neglect, give the RSPCA a shout to check on the dog’s wellbeing.
For renters, it might be worth checking tenancy rules or anti-social behaviour policies to see if the landlord can step in. Not sure who’s in charge? The UK Land Registry can help you suss out property ownership.
