Flat Tenancy Contract

[tozz]

I've recently taken a flat for the first time. The contract says you're not allowed to be a nuisance and also not allowed to run a trade or profession in the dwelling.
Now my near neighbour is blatantly doing both, pulling drawers and opening and shutting what sound like filing cabinets till 2 or 3 AM, and calling people round to bring him things, though he does actually go out for long periods in the daytime, I imagine as part of his business.
It's a 6 month tenancy contract, so should I (the new kid) tell the landlord about it, and if necessary would I be entitled to leave, with my neighbour being so inconsiderate and, presumably, breaking the terms of his own contract?

What kind of business would you think he's running, Tozz?

Filing clerk?

[Svejk]

Yes, I thought that,Cupid. But what about the drawer pulling?
To say nothing of calling people at all hours to bring stuff.

Looks like the neighbour's having a night off cos Tozz has fell asleep.

The terms in your tenancy are usual, it is probable your neighbour has similar conditions but he may have negotiated terms that suit him. You should not fail to comply with the terms of your tenancy because you believe your neighbour is not complying too similar conditions. I would suggest if your neighbour’s behaviour is affecting the quiet enjoyment of your flat you first speak to him and if this is not effective contact your landlord and complain.
