We live next door to a rented house. A number of blokes of moved in who may or may not be legally allowed to be here.
Anyway... There general attitude to cleanliness certainly leaves quite a bit to be desired. Over the last couple of months they seem to have deposited an increasing amount of nackered furniture, stacks of cardboard boxes, old mattresses etc out in the back yard. It looks a right state! Its their gaff though so they can do what they like
However, now the inevitable has happened and their drains have blocked up (probably with sodden cardboard). I've popped round and politely asked them if they can get it sorted. This was difficult as no-one could speak a word of english. The back yard is now full of stagnant water. And its starting to stink.
So what would you do? Do the environmental health deal with issues like this? I'm a bit reluctant to get the authorities involved as I suspect they might end up in a bit more trouble than just having blocked drains
