For mum-of-one Levi Verrall, three years of near constant abuse, drug use and pounding music has finally proved too much.

The men next door haven’t always been out of control, sometimes they are perfectly pleasant, but they soon leave the property and are replaced by four new tenants.

The four-bed terraced in Dale Street, Chatham, was a halfway house for recently released offenders, homeless men and other vulnerable individuals who need emergency accommodation and stay there for anything from a few weeks to several months.

Many of those sent to live there are referred by councils in east Kent to Paramount Independent Property Services, which manages hundreds of similar blocks across the county.

Most recently a care leaver, a man who had spent four weeks sleeping in a graveyard and a thief who had been in prison for several months occupied the property.

Previously it was a shared house for professional tenants, then three years ago Paramount took over and things began to change.

Following a clash with one man over music being played at high volume late into the night Miss Verrall was left to clean up her garden after several buckets of urine were tipped from the top floor.

Paramount sent her a voucher for her trouble.

Another tenant with agoraphobia would rather throw his waste from his window than leave his room.

Miss Verrall, a 26-year-old cleaner, who has lived in the street for six years, said: “I like living here, I like the area, it’s near my son’s school and the neighbours are nice but it’s got too much.

“I don’t blame the tenants, I know they’ve had troubled backgrounds but they are just dumped here with no support.

"They’re not even told where job centres are and one didn’t even know where the town centre was.”

Recently tenants in the property have not caused many problems but one Sunday morning Miss Verrall was woken to the sound of sirens.

Shaun Wright, 31, had been found dead in his room.

A day later the three remaining residents took matters into their own hands after the smell became unbearable and dragged his blood-soaked bedding out of the house, dumping it in the front garden.

They had repeatedly called Paramount but a cleaner was not sent for two days.

Hours before Mr Wright was found another tenant had been pacing the street repeatedly knocking at a property and demanding drugs.

He had got the wrong house. The same man had banged on an elderly couple’s door days earlier and announced he was there to live with them. He’d been given the wrong address.

When Miss Verrall learned that a paedophile had been living next door for eight months, in a room which overlooked the garden where her son would play, she approached Paramount for answers.

“When they found out who he was they immediately removed him.

"They said they hadn’t been told because of ‘data protection’ but that isn’t right,” she said.

“Even if whoever refers these people isn’t disclosing what they’ve done they need to be asking these questions.”

Alfie Mitchell, 18, lived at the house for a month after leaving foster care in Margate.

He said: “We’re just given a set of rules and left here. We could be kicked out at any time without notice.

“I called Paramount 10 times on Sunday to get someone to come out to clean the room but no one turned up until Tuesday.

“We don’t get any support in terms of finding work or anything.”

On Friday the three remaining tenants were moved out and the property boarded up.

Miss Verrall does not think anyone will return but her decision is already made. She will still be moving out.

She said: “I feel like there’s a ticking time bomb next door.”

Managing director of Paramount, Grant De-Negri, explained the property was a shared property “much like student accommodation” and therefore specialist support was not provided.

He said: “The clients that we receive for this property from local authorities are not sent to us requiring support.

“All of our shared properties are inspected every week. If we feel during these inspections some clients need further assistance we would engage with their existing support.

“If they didn’t have any existing support, we would then make the necessary referral.”

The property was secured, he said, after threats from neighbours. He would not comment on the paedophile incident, citing data protection laws.

Mr De-Negri added: “We’ve had two clients in the last two years that have caused anti-social behaviour.

“On both occasions we have taken swift action to end their stay with us. When we get complaints from neighbours we act in a timely manner to resolve these.

“There are sometimes occurrences when clients let us down.

"When this has happened we apologised to the neighbour affected and gave them vouchers as a good will gesture.

“Paramount have always gone above and beyond for clients in the property and the immediate community.”
