So because your home is too small for your property you think inconveniencing others is acceptable
And the fact you had to ask opinion means you knew it was selfish
You then tried to justify it by commenting on her weight and having an opinion on her son opening the door none of which is of your concern
And is only your concern now because someone is doing something you think is inconsiderate to you

That's an interesting point and jogged my memory.clb74 said:What happens if the lady upstairs wants to store her new exercise bike in the hallway
She does have a rowing machine in her bedroom, the flat layouts are all the same.
it makes a lot of noise because it's obviously on the floor and there's no sound proofing in the building / flats. She rows at all times of the day and night. The other day at 6.30am. Which inevitably wakes me up.1 -

Your insurance company are obliged by the FCA high-level rules to deal with you fairly. Tell them that their response is a breach of both Prinicple 6 and 7 of the FCA's high level standards. Six: A firm must pay due regard to the interests of its customers and treat them fairly. Seven: A firm must pay due regard to the information needs of its clients, and communicate information to them in a way which is clear, fair and not misleading.sillav nitram said:I didn't disable the intercom.
It became ineffective when a thumb lock was added to the main door to the building.
The layout of the building is, two flats on the ground floor. So they're not inconvenienced and don't have a problem with intercom.
My flat, is the only flat on the first and hers being on the floor above. I don't have a problem with intercom, she does but does have a son who could answer the door. There ain't that many stairs!
I didn't keep my bike in my flat because the flat is small and there was no where to put it, without it being in the way. My problem I know.
At the time of having the bike, it was kept outside my flat, the only flat on that level.
It wouldn't have been visible, had someone been looking through the letterbox but of course someone could of seen me taking it inside. As anyone can, when any of the other residents might be having items taken inside, that may look valuable and nickable, should the flat have been watched.
I did ask all concerned including management and particularly the occupants at the time, of the flat above, who would be the most inconvenienced if it would be ok. Nobody at the time said it wouldn't and were quite happy for me to do so.
So I didn't just leave my bike, without consideration for others, I asked all concerned.
I except that the law may have regarded it a fire hazard but that wasn't made clear to me and nobody mentioned it at the time, either. Had it, then of course I wouldn't have kept it there.
I no longer have a bike, so the issue of the inconvenience in the communal area is no longer relevant.
I accept when one lives in a communal block, one tries to be accommodating and considerate. I believe my asking everyone, shows that I was trying to be just that.
The fact I was unfortunate to be a victim of theft, does that make it my fault? Thieves are very adapt at their job and regardless of precautions we may take are very skilled and brazen at getting the job done.
It was therefore a building agreement to have an additional lock added to the main door to the building, not mine alone. It is a thumb lock and presumably meets safety standards?
We all have neighbours who are bloody difficult for the sake of it and might be considered arseholes, I may be one of them, to some people.
I don't believe and of course it's just my opinion, that she is that inconvenienced by this. Or that her hips are such a concern. She doesn't appear to have any issues moving around that I can see, doesn't use any aids, sticks, crutches etc., That I realise doesn't mean she doesn't.
But the focus of the argument was, having taken all precautions to secure my own flat, double locks etc., would my contents insurance be null and void, if it could be proved that the communal door to the building was securely locked?
My Insurance company suggest it's a grey are and are non committal on giving a divinitive answer. Hence my on going paranoia about being burgled.
Otherwise it wouldn't be a problem.
What is clear is that they are failing in this regard. Tell them that. It is their policy, they drafted it they should fucking well know the answer. It is not a grey area. It's their choice, yes or no. Get the response in writing.0 -

Why is that anyone else's business but her own, again, if the intercom worked, it wouldn't be an issue, would it.SuperCliveMendonca said:

Very heavily over opinionated there and on your other post. I'm sure you don't me to sound such a rude twit!nth london addick said:So because your home is too small for your property you think inconveniencing others is acceptable

That's not exactly true, because she obviously goes out on a regular basis needing to use the stairs up and down.she doesn't require the intercom for that. She isn't house bound!Stu_of_Kunming said:

So I do think if I was viewing a property to buy / rent that had stairs and I had a movement issue, then chances are I'd only consider a ground floor property or one with minimal stairs.0 -
In all seriousness, my advice would be to start an affair with her. Then, once you got her hook, line and sinker, say to her this - "Right now listen here you, if you dont start lockin that fuckin front properly, you and me? It's over! No get out of my sight"
Either that or promise her a pork pie at the end every week that she and her waywood son sticks to your unreasonable request4 -
What about a good old fashioned compromise?
Deadlock the door from say 10 pm (assuming the last takeaway of the day is safely delivered and consumed by then). Unlocked by first to depart in the morning and left on intercom access for the day and evening. At least you'll get to sleep securely in your bed.2 -

Go for the affair option Mart2 -

I'm perfectly happy to supervise a burglary overnight cause at least I can ensure they don't shit on the carpet!0 -

From what you've said about her, i'd assume it's likely to be her son using the rowing machine.sillav nitram said:

She does have a rowing machine in her bedroom, the flat layouts are all the same.

To all those who said I'm an unreasonable shit, go fuck yerselves and expect a scorpion in the post! Bitter, me?
And those who think I'm a reasonable wonderful guy, I thank you all and expect cheques in the post.
I do think it's interesting different opinions and why I posted.
So thanks for the input serious and funny.
I'm changing my insurance company to one that covers me, for this situation.0 -

Buy a tandem and ask her out for a ride.1

I would have removed the additional lock on the font door and attached it to the outside of your door by now if I was in your block of flats. Totally unreasonable to expect the person furthest away from the door to have to come downstairs all the time just because you have too much shit in your flat to be able to store your bike in it. Also I'm fairly sure having an additional lock on an electronically locking door like that contravenes fire safety0

It was fitted by the building management, so presumably they would have been aware of the regulations.sam3110 said:I would have removed the additional lock on the font door and attached it to the outside of your door by now if I was in your block of flats.
