Solution to bad neighbours

  I just move into an apartment with my family. The neighbours very bad one. Leave their smelly shoes and socks outside of the common corridor and block the way, also never wash them for a few weeks. Yucks. Really stinks up the place. Tried to talk to them also no use. They say the previous owner of our apt also never say anything, they have always been like that. Complain to management, they say can only ask them to keep but can't force them. Why so inconsiderate! Got no personal hygiene never mind, do it in your own private space, not common area. Is there any law against such things!! Thanks in advance.

  Yeah, and also don't need the big mortgage headache in this crazy property market. In fact stay HDB much better. Really regrets sainz. Some more the other pple very weird eh, ask you personal question like how much you buy ah? Than next time see you, pretend you invisible. Now I hoping en bloc than with that pile of money buy back HDB cash and enjoy my HBD facilities.

  lol... do you leave your door open all the time? if not, the smell of the socks/shoes shouldn't be too much of a hassel since you'll only be passing by the stink maybe three times a day at the most.
  
  anyways, smelling something for a long time will help you develop a sort of an ''immunity'' to the smell (being used to it and all)
  
  of course, i'm aware of the sort of annoyance it has. what i would suggest is to '''''nicely''''' tell them.

  throw away their shoes if ur nasty,deny everything till they set up the vid cams(if they do)
  
  or tell them that its inconsiderate, and spray some disinfectant onto their shoes,claming its a public common corridor, so u sprayed to the air without knowing it got on their shoes.

  Can't beat them join them. Find all the ugly neighbours stories and decide which profile you want to take up. Don't have to be direct or commit any offence. Keep an incense burner outside your house. Find the the one that smells worst. There are cases where different religions cannot take the smell of each others incense. Think because it doesn't smell familiar, along the lines of your fart smells better than someone else's. Try and error. When they finally buay tahan, then you can talk terms.
