My husband and I have been living in a garden apartment in Kensington for three years. When we moved in the outdoor space was completely overrun and a haven for vermin and the adjacent buildings trash. The landlord has been promising to do the work but never got around to it, so we decided to tackle the job. It took three months but now that it is completely cleared out, we have begun adding plants and outdoor furniture.

The problem is that we don’t want our neighbors to back there. We spent a lot of time and money making the garden habitable and aren’t sure how we feel about them benefiting from our hard work.

Is there anyway to keep them out? It is only accessible for other tenants via the fire escape.

Any thoughts?
