Thanks for the support ladies - so sorry to hear that you are both in similar situations. TG I will definitely be looking up the local council laws and see what they say - we have been so tempted to call the police several times I guess if I know the laws I won't be so hesitant if they are breaching them. The other night they were all so off their trees in the backyard at about 3 in the morning DH and I didn't call the police but we should have - woulda scared the living daylights out of them I think. Plus made them pull their heads in a bit....we have regretted not ringing ever since.

I just realised too that I should ask the elderly lady across the road if she knows who they rent through....we have affectionately nicknamed her Mrs Mangle because she always seems to know what's going on but when we asked her about the house (the day we moved in and she popped out to say hello) she just said they were a young family renting.

Entreat....I don't think we have any HomesWest houses in this area....are they sporadically placed or are there normally a group? I've only been here a couple of years and not sure how the housing works here in WA?

To be continued..... and thanks again
