Home owners may complain to the landlord of the properties in which troublesome neighbours live and if dissatisfied with the response they receive, may follow the landlord's internal complaints process. Only tenants and leaseholders of housing associations, local authorities and other member landlords can pursue a complaint with the Housing Ombudsman

There are no plans to extend the Housing Ombudsman’s remit to include investigating complaints from members of the wider public.
