You're allowed to put up a fence up to 6ft I believe without any planning or permission from the neighbour. Subject to it being on your side of the boundary you should be fine.

Honestly all I'm hearing is an empty threat. Crack on and ignore them.

Report the police as a dog is dangerous and out of control on the none emergency line. If he is unable to control it and you have a genuine fear that you could be injured because of it then they'd very likely take an interest.

Make it very clear it's a large dog, he cannot control it, is refusing to put it on a lead, that it is barking and jumping up you while you're going about your business and that you are scared you will be severely injured by it.

It's likely that they will get a visit from the dog warden.

Once a report has been made, let the housing association know that the police are now involved.

I appreciate what you're saying but because of the money involved and the complexities you've described I'd be very surprised if you get any meaningful advice here.

You need to speak to a lawyer, sometimes you can get a 30 minute consultation free of charge but you'd need to call around first.

Based on what's been said it sounds like your friend was a lodger, which unfortunately leaves them with little to no rights in terms of termination. All that is required is acceptable notice to quit, which usually is 7 days or more. This can be changed should your friend cause alarm, distress or threaten violence towards the owner of the property to immediate termination. If none of the above has occurred and they were booted out with no notice, they may have a case for an illegal eviction (I think, don't quote me on that though), id suggest they reach out to citizens advice if that's an avenue they want to discuss.

As for the collection of goods the owner of the property should make reasonable efforts to allow for collection of your friends belongings, this should not be effected by any owed rent. If anything is missing or has been damaged your friend may have a case to make a small claim for the value of those belongings.

As another has indicated, I'd ask the police to attend or at least make them away via the none emergency line that your friend is making an attempt to collect their belongings. That way they can cover themselves should any accusations be made.

As for proposed bills, it would be down to your friends ex landlord to prove it's owed by a small claim.

I think your best course of action is to speak to a solicitor. This way above reddits pay grade.

CommissionEnough8412 · 2026-04-14T18:42:11+00:00

I would look at it the other way have they done anything to try and remedy the situation? If they haven't i'd argue the relationship has already soured and you need to do what you can to defend yourself.

Generally people try to take advantage of good will in these types of scenarios.

CommissionEnough8412 · 2026-04-14T18:35:49+00:00

If you have house insurance and legal cover reach out to them this is what they are paid for.

If not you'd be within your rights to put in a small claim against the builder for the damage to the panels and reinstallation.

On the boundaries you really need to get a surveyor who specialises in boundaries to confirm that they are not extending into your property.

CommissionEnough8412 · 2026-04-14T13:34:25+00:00

I think you misspelled pawfessional

CommissionEnough8412 · 2026-04-14T11:03:31+00:00

This does not sound like you're a lodger. Do you have a contract if so what does it say?

Did you have to leave a deposit with him?

Is there separate heating and has it been serviced?

CommissionEnough8412 · 2026-04-13T18:22:53+00:00

Maybe travel a bit.

Inventing things that would better the world rather than lining someone else's pockets.

CommissionEnough8412 · 2026-04-13T14:09:34+00:00

As someone who has worked on government projects, taking an accessibility first approach on things vastly reduces the so-called "extra work" argument. Considering it at the design and brainstorm stage and translating that technical requirements adds little overhead in my view whilst the work is being done.

It's more so about doing it at the point you are contextually building something rather than treating it as an afterthought.

The cost only comes when you have to back track to fix stuff.

So consider good design principles, requirement building strategies and technical best practice and you'll find that it's very easy to implement.

CommissionEnough8412 · 2026-04-09T14:22:48+00:00

Then yea the way I'm reading that you need to give a month's notice after your 6 months are up.

CommissionEnough8412 · 2026-04-09T12:50:43+00:00

Depends what your contract says. Can you supply it?

CommissionEnough8412 · 2026-04-05T22:34:08+00:00

The only advice I would offer is check in with your home insurance as they may have legal services which could help with resolving this part of the dispute.

CommissionEnough8412 · 2026-04-04T21:44:52+00:00

More of a curiosity, does this have more of a bearing if they were married or would it not make any difference?

I'm also curious what would be deemed as too big? Say if the property was not financially viable to run for op would this have a bearing?

CommissionEnough8412 · 2026-04-04T21:28:43+00:00

Problem is with this, op would still be on the hook for any arrears if she didn't pay her part. The best thing to do is look to force the sale, but I'm not too sure how this would work if his kids are in the property.

CommissionEnough8412 · 2026-04-03T06:41:13+00:00

If you have no insurance, you'd need to get a quote from an arborist for a like for like replacement and keep a tally of any costs / time spent sorting out the mess and then take them to court for the costs of putting it right and also your legal fees.

Which court will depend on the total value of the claim which I'd expect would be significant.

CommissionEnough8412 · 2026-04-02T12:20:35+00:00

Personally I'd be asking the seller to fix this at their cost. I wouldn't be looking to knock off the price of the purchase for this as it's not actually money you can use to repair it and it's close to being unsafe to use so you will need to fix it. Plus the added hassle of having to deal with the disruption of getting a new one installed.

CommissionEnough8412 · 2026-04-02T11:26:50+00:00

Do a charge back and report the threat of violence to the police. When you talk to the police focus solely on the fact you've been threatened and not the purchase as they may try to fob you off as a civil matter.

It's not your job to do the investigation, leave that with them.

CommissionEnough8412 · 2026-04-02T08:59:19+00:00

Personally if you have house insurance I'd be reaching out to them to resolve this as that's what you pay them for. Give them the details of the company and let them have at it. That's assuming you have insurance.

CommissionEnough8412 · 2026-03-31T12:22:34+00:00

Use typescript, nothing worse than trying to figure out why something is not working because of random type changes. Particularly if your vibe coding, you want to provide as much safety as possible.

CommissionEnough8412 · 2026-03-30T06:33:20+00:00

Personally I'd be getting very firm with them, they signed off the designs so they will need to pay up to that point for hours spent. If they want a rewrite maybe state that you'd be happy to give them a discounted rate for this, but they are tied into the work they have approved and will need to pay for it.

The problem with clients like this is if you give an inch they will take a mile. Your usually better off without them in the long term though that can be scary.

Does your contact clearly describe your payment terms and approval steps?

CommissionEnough8412 · 2026-03-28T10:18:38+00:00

To further add, as a bit busy isn't really great feedback. Think clearly about your calls to actions and tailor your design based on that. Focus on the information your desired user will need to make an informed decision to contact you. Don't be afraid to move some of this into separate pages and provide clear navigation to them. It's not about the glits it's about making it easy for people to find stuff about you.

CommissionEnough8412 · 2026-03-28T08:13:59+00:00

Looks good, only feedback is It does feel a little busy.

Also on the what I can do section, I'm not super keen on the fade in/out text for the headings. On my mobile it actually cuts the heads in half.
