Hope you don't get a repeat!

I got a reply today from the landlord (myshortlets.co.uk) who agreed the tenant's behaviour was unacceptable and that they, the tenants, were contacted and they apologised for their behaviour. Joanna (landlord rep) also apologised and said they wouldn't let to these people again. They were due to leave today (it was quiet last night).
The house adjacent to the rental property has just sold and I don't think the new owners realise they are moving in next door to a short term rental property. The street was known to be quiet and is popular for retirees.
I was surprised by how little official recourse there seems to be in this situation, it is up to you to trace the landlord and gather evidence before the council can even be approached. Maybe it's always been like this but I remember my Dad making a hard standing for his caravan at the front of the house many years ago (different property, a detached house same town) and one person complained and he quickly got a letter from the council telling him the caravan had to be moved.
Edit: Postscript - I just had a visit from the local rep for the property who also apologised and gave me her phone number in case there is another event (she hoped there wouldn't be). She bribed me with a box of chocolates...
