A woman was left bewildered after her 'cheeky neighbours' took it upon themselves to paint a communal door - then asked her to help pay for it.
The door leads to a building of eight flats, with the new residents having recently invested in one of the homes to let out, according to the Liverpool Echo.
Since buying the flat, they have redecorated by painting the front entrance and porch door black - then sent an email to other flat owners in the building asking them to cough up £25 each to cover paint and labour costs.
The woman says she was not consulted about the work before it was carried out and couldn't believe it when she was sent the request for payment.
Taking to Mumsnet's popular Am I Being Unreasonable (AIBU) thread with a post titled " Cheeky neighbours want me to pay", she sought advice on how to proceed without causing awkwardness with the new neighbours.
She penned: "New neighbours bought a flat in my building. There are eight flats in total in the building. I haven't met them yet but they're buying for investment and I found it posted online for rent already.
"I came home the other day to find the main door to the building had been painted. It was shabby before and could do with a coat but this was surprising since I hadn't been consulted and it was a shared door. The new colour is black which I was always told was a bad omen. I really didn't like it but didn't want to make a fuss.
"They have now emailed us saying they want the flats to equally contribute £25. Lovely to meet you too. It may not sound like a lot of money but I am really budgeting right now and my weekly budget for fun is £30 and it would have to come from that which is miserable.
"I just know if I send them the money I will be bitter about it
