Wrinklies too much to bear

QUESTION: A couple on the far side of 70 renting on our ground level don’t use the blinds in their common-property-facing kitchen at all … ever … night or day. Three households can clearly see in without trying and six families can’t miss them as they pass by.

We see them both in PJs, nighties and smalls; him with no top on is one thing but the sight of a 70-year-old woman in her leotard is not for the fainthearted.

They also leave their door open – for the breeze and the chance to stickybeak.

Is there anything that might be done to suggest they might behave with a bit more dignity? – LD, via Flat Chat Forum.

ANSWER: The closest by-law I can think of is the one about being appropriately dressed on common property … but this isn’t CP. So I’m thinking a quiet word with the landlord about installing net curtains – and offer to split the cost if need be.

Failing that, the widows are common property … maybe a one-way reflective film on the outside might be the answer. But a hint to the landlord about THER responsibilities wouldn’t go amiss.
