I think any court or tribunal would find that people are allowed to stand around in the coridioir or on common property all day if they like, as long as they’re not doing anything else wrong, such as unreasonable noise or obstructing others on common property.
Never heard of loitering on common property as prohibited, have you?
This is a social problem we’ve had from time to time with tenants who don’t work and who have a disability and are socially disadvantaged as a consequence. They spend too much time on common property and are claustrophobic.
The overarching solution is to manage the building in a way that attracts top quality occupants instead. When the building is run down and not run properly (as our is) poor tenants live here and this is what you get.
I’ve searched everywhere and there is no external action you can take against people invading your concept of personal space or privacy.
I think that suggestion of writing a polite letter might be a next step. I’ll just tell them how I feel and ask them to take it on board.
