Hi, just spoken to a friendly neighbour who’s told me that other neighbors found out what I do. I’ve been at the property since early last year and just signed a lease for another year, effective until November 2020.

One of my neighbours has asked me in the lift once if I’ve seen the conversation in the WhatsApp group and I said no. That was a month ago. I’ve just met the same neighbour again on my way to civvy job this morning who’s told me that people are talking about my business. He said two people were nasty about it and said they’ll call the police on me. Other members of the chat group bashed them and said they were judgemental and to leave me alone. That chat allegedly occurred one month ago and the friendly neighbour said that its kinda blew over. I haven’t personally had any communications directly nor letters, much less police.

I’m fully independent and work alone so I laugh at the police comment. But what if they complain about it to the agency or landlord? Not had any communication from them either yet.

The friendly neighbour told me that those people noticed me escorting clients from downstairs to the flat. Indeed I’ve had problems with my intercom system which made me do up and down so they noticed. But those problems were sorted for two months now.


At the time of complaint I went on a break and now I’m back working this week. So that’s one month of no activity. I’m paranoid to start again.

I was in a similar situation and for this reason avoid leasehold and or small blocks of flats, LH usually contains clauses which means you can be asked to leave.

A friendly neighbour had a word with me, the residents had asked for reports on my activities. The problem was that I did also have a chaotic lifestyle due to an addiction problem, which was leading me into very poor company. I was not a great neighbour and would be clumsy when inebriated which added to the indiscretion of clients. Punters would let the front door bang which could be heard throughout the block, run up the stair waving cash shouting my working name in greeting, or back as they were leaving. A few parked in neighbours spaces (the car park had had a history of locals using it instead of paying for parking in town so residents already had an eye on it before I ever moved in), one or two ran into bollards I pre-warned about. When the buzzer of the entry panels was broken despite me explaining how to get to the other one, a few rang other doorbells asking to be let into 'my working name' flat. Even when not broken their were other similar indiscretions. The buzzer either wasn't or took a long time to be fixed by the landlord, the company doing the repair needed me to be in but didn't turn up at the times they asked me to be in.

Heck that's brought back memories.

I started looking for other properties and asked clients to park around the corner, around the time I found somewhere else I was at the same time given notice without any reason - because they didn't need to. I was glad to move although I then found another neighbour who would pounce on visitors, but that wasn't specifically targeted at me or any suspicion of sex work, and the few who were approached were just fine (they just acted as if they should be there which was absolutely correct).

Advice for the OP perhaps look for somewhere else, but my advice is unless you see somewhere you really want to move to, carry on and the best piece of advice I was ever given is "Don't piss the neighbours off"............and keep your dignity. That flat was spotless when I left it, had everything professionally cleaned and anything damaged I replaced with same or higher standard.

Could you work less in the evenings and more during daytime working hours so it’s quiet at night. And then perhaps tour to a local hotel on Saturdays and Sundays when they are all home. Then when the gosskp dies down start building the work up again closer to when the tenancy runs out.

Do the neighbours work, and do they work shifts?

My experience was in a block which contained retirees, however one of those would be away for long periods of time on holidays, it was the others who were there all the time - however no problem in a terrace with retirees. My experience is that it all depends on a variety of factors, also sound proofing, is the property on a route to somewhere else which can explain people walking past etc.

Oh Mirror that sounds like a right mess! 

Here the situation is, I work in the evening and one weekday only, I try to keep things quiet with the music on, when I don’t work I’m extremely quiet person, work full time in a “normal” job and also a student. So there’s no nuisance caused by either myself or the clients.

The problem is, that doesn’t fucking matter if some twat just digs the heels in and decides they don’t want me to live there.. It seem to have blown over but it’s an indicator I need to at least save up for a swift property move if needed.

This can only be a problem if all the neighbours "gang up" and go to your landlord (and they WILL find him if they do their research), THAT can be a problem. However, it doesn't sound like your neighbours have any plans to gang up as they have mixed opinions amongst them (?). I would stay away from it and the wassap groups and lay very low. It will probably die off.

On the other hand how do they know you're an escort? Where you coming down to the door in high heels and revealing outfit? If this is NOT the case you could have told your neighbour during that conversation that you're in sales and part of some  pyramid scheme and need to meet with clients and co-workers at home.

I could not continue to work and live in a place if that happened to me but I do understand it is not a simple task to pack and set up somewhere else.

Hoping it has all blown over and you can continue in peace.

Sadly I’m stuck there now until November next year and the landlord not only increased the rent but also didn’t allow me to lease for only 6 months. I wonder what would happen there if I’d be liable to pay for their fucking lease even if evicted ?

Hello,

It’s a large new build block of flats, six floors high. I have a full time civvy job so cannot work during the day and only do evenings. I can see how they sussed it out since for a longer time I’d have to come down to let people in, but since two months now it’s possible to let guys in without going out of the flat. I’ve got one flat opposite me but not like bang on opposite, doubt he can see anything in the peephole. 

I do 2-3 people an evening and 5-6 people on a weekend day.

I always have the music on and try to control the noise.

So far just the bitching on WhatsApp by two people but you never know. I also haven’t been on it since 5-6 weeks now.

Are you sure he's not the inventer of this wild and woolly tale- getting a fyshing-hardon?
Or have you seen this Wassup and verified it's a genuine tenant discussion?
Did you notice neighbours looking?

If it's genuine....20-27 guys a week in a 'normal' civvy dwelling eg not a basement with it's own entrance, or, eccentric half empty pied-à-terre set-up etc might attract paranoid nosey parkers. If you're unlucky. Once they get curious it gathers momentum as it's the most exciting thing in their day.

I agree with Anna...I'm in my tired old jeans, drab Ts, trainers, bobble hat to hide my hair on my way in and out of my crib. I'll wear them to let clients in if the door is faulty once in a blue moon. Like you my door control was broken for 4 months, a real pain.  They don't loose the horn though.
Never knowingly glam outside.


I agree with others...evidence is required. Absentee landlord thousands of miles away may not give a toss. Presumably there is an agent who oversees tenants? who knows if they're arsed. My last agent said she didn't care if girls were 'working' quietly. It was the 'normal' people attracting robbers, damaging the paintwork with bikes and flooding the flats. Too many unpredicatable factors to worry about right now. Keep coining it in.
