Maybe they should pay rent?

Stuff reports:

Tensions have boiled over between residents and prostitutes in a central Christchurch street, with a homeowner accused of assaulting a prostitute she found having sex in her yard.

The north Manchester St resident, in her 50s, said she had just arrived home from work when she discovered the pair “flagrantly in the act” in the early hours. She was having a drink on her back step when she saw movement and heard “associated noises”.

She phoned police, then went to detain the prostitute until officers arrived.

The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, admitted she hit the prostitute during the ensuing altercation, but said that was only after the woman scratched her in the face.

“She’s just unfortunate I have a couple of years martial arts behind me.”

Very very rude of anyone to have sex in someone else’s backyard.

Rather than confront them though, I’d do what you would do if a couple of cats were rutting in your backyard. Go grab a powerful hose and douse their ardour. I suspect they wouldn’t return!

The alternative is to demand rent for use of the yard!
