Yusuf, 32, who has lived in his private rented building since 2017, now sometimes roams Westminster streets at night due to noise. He says the flat above him, used for short-term stays, causes daily disturbances like loud music and slamming doors. Westminster City Council is investigating the property, though no fault has been found yet.
