Regular readers will recall Mr Smelly-Opposite who has made my life difficult over past years, culminating last May when he set light to his flat.
Well, a few minutes ago I let the freeholder in, and it appears that rather than having disappeared as I thought he had, Mr S-O is living in the flat opposite mine, but (and here's the amazing thing) without furniture. The freeholder knocked at his door, and in the end persuaded him to answer, though Mr S-O wouldn't have if the freeholder hadn't pointed out that he could see him.
I'd thought S-O had gone away because there is no sign of that flat having furniture. Or carpets. Or anything, really. It was decorated following the fire, and the decoration was paid for by the buildings insurer.* I'm not sure why, but that's what the freeholder negotiated with them - and I'm sure there'll be an increase in our premiums as a result. But, of course, that insurance wouldn't cover replacement furniture and fittings, except it did cover a new kitchen and bathroom.
But it appears that Mr S-O came back unnoticed, and is living there somehow on the bare concrete.
He is very odd.
* I was told by the blokes doing the work. Yes, I am that nosy, so sue me.

It must be freezing cold in there, though.

"Yes, I am that nosy, so sue me."
No way would I call you nosy. His behavior affects your property value and, I would think, your sense of safety and security in your home. I would be driven absolutely crazy if I had to live with a near neighbor like him.

I'm reassured that you don't think I'm nosy. He is really annoying to live next door to.
