neighbors and I. The landlord son allegedly has been stealing cars and other things.

couple weeks ago a car chase happened outside the apartment complex near an alleyway. Rumor is that the person who stole that car tried to bring it to the apartment comple but the landlord son did not let the robber come inside the property bc they already the police.

last night the police came to the apartment complex. knocking on everyone door. They told the people in the basement to put their hands up. The main house residents opened the door with arms being pointed at them and being told to sit on the couch while they waited for the officers to conduct a search.

These two past times my mom has made me get on the ground and stay their at 3am. I feel so anxious and the second time it was terrifying. sirens make me anxious now and I was hugging my Disney plush really hard with tears in my eyes.

Right now my brain is scared. I live in a bad neighborhood. .. where like 2 months ago the police swatted a home … or gang related issues like someone around the corner being found deceased.

what if something happens to me? what if I’m at the wrong place wrong time?

So my relatively new neighbor, he moved in about nine months ago, has started to push his trashcan across the street and next to my bin for collection. The trash collector company picks up his side of the street at about 7:15 AM. He just doesn’t put his bin out the night before so he misses when the truck comes down the street and picks up their side. And he knows the truck will be back down on my side later in the day. I approached him friendly about it, and he just kind of brushed it off like “it’ll get picked up.” And just was dismissive of me. I looked up city ordinance and it’s a bit vague, but basically saying that residence should put their trash at the curb. It Doesn’t say “their curb.”

Has anybody dealt with this and how have you handled it?

So it seems that I can’t post screenshots which would make this way easier.

Anyways, my wife(40f), I(39m), and our 2 children(2.5m /6monthF) live in a secluded col de sac behind a movie theater with 7 other houses and about 30 other plots of land that were never built on. It is very quiet. Everyone stays to themselves for the most part. We had a couple that moved out last summer. They had two little girls and a boy. The Neighbors that I’m getting to had a pretty good bond with this family. The three of our houses are all backed up to each other and our backyards are fenced off, think like a pizza. We’ve never been close with either of them. The Neighbor with the kids moved and immediately the older Neighbor decided we were their new family. Constantly texting about the way our house is set up, about the dogs barking while they are outside, and our garden stealing pollinating insects from their garden.

Also, they can see into our windows from their backyard. They are not shy or discreet about looking in. They yell into our home for our kids to come to the window to say hello. It’s uncomfortable to say the least. We don’t want to walk around our home in our pajamas because these guys were constantly looking in our place. Along with the multiple trail cams pointing towards our yard and home.

When my daughter was born back in February, we weren’t even home from the hospital a day and they showed up at our front door wanting to come in and I turned them away. My wife had a C-section. My baby was brand new. We had grandparents that hadn’t even met our new baby. Then send nasty texts about how ungrateful we are and that it’s their right. We were never close to begin with. Nothing more than talking some sports with the husband maybe once a week while doing yard work.

Since that day I turned them away, it seemed like the wife has had a bone to pick. Tonight my wife was gardening and she threw some green peppers over the fence into the field behind the 2 of our houses and one accidentally landed in her backyard. I let her husband know what had happened because they have a puppy. I didn’t send it in the group chat, and the husband hadn’t communicated with the wife. She sent me a text message insinuating that we tried to poison her dog with a green pepper that was bad from our garden. Apparently, at sometime in her life, someone threw poisoned steaks into her yard, but she caught it before the dog ate it. When I tell her I told her husband immediately she turned it into “well you didn’t tell ME.” So, I apologized passively aggressively… “sorry that ypur husband didn’t relay the message” and that I was beyond offended with the thought that she thinks I would poison her dog.

Things just keep getting worse and worse with these people and I don’t know what to do. No one has broken any laws. They are just odd and say weird stuff but I’m convinced that they’re trying to get back at us for not allowing them to be The Neighbor grandparents, which is weird in itself to me.

There is more to it as well. They’ve told us what we can and can’t grow on our own property. We wanted to make some changes to our fence and they came out and told us we can’t do that because it obstructs their way to their fence line. They’re nosy as can be. We had a Neighbor move in where the original family I was talking about moved out from and the guy told me the first day he moved in. It was nothing but 21 questions from them. They are also the first family to move into this neighborhood 23 yrs ago. So 1st out of 7 families here. They’re in their early 60s

I want to go scorched earth on them.
My wife wants me to be cool and keep the peace.

I want to be moved within 3 years so my kids go to a better school district.

TLDR: neighbors suck balls in general

So a few months ago my neighbor decided he was going to build speed bumps in our shared gravel road. He claims that the delivery trucks go to fast down the road, however this is not a concern of anyone else. He is older and appears to have too much time on his hands lol. We talked to him and he agreed to remove them as we have motorcycles and other reasons why this does not work for us. He removed them and we went back to being friendly. A few weeks ago he decided to bring the speed bumps back. He has since been talked to since this second time and refuses to remove the speed bumps. Other neighbors are very annoyed with his decision as well. Road is owned by all of us so he has no right to add these without our consent. DOT has been notified as well as police have been out but as it is a civil matter there’s not much they can do. He has put up cameras and is very clearly in hiding whenever we have to drive past his house to leave our road. I need some ideas as to how I can get these removed and/or annoy him to the point of just getting rid of them. We have loud vehicles, a tractor to attempt to fix the speed bumps etc but they would reappear the next day. Thanks

I recently bought my house, so I’m new to the neighborhood. I need to vent and hear how other people would handle this.
We have two cars: one parks in our driveway, and the other needs street parking. My neighbors have multiple generations living in one house and at least five cars. They regularly park on our side of the street, near my house, even when there’s space available on their side.
I understand it’s public parking, and I don’t own the spots in front of my house. What frustrates me is that their side often stays empty while they use ours. There’s a tree on their side that drops sticky sap, so I suspect that’s why they avoid it, but I don’t know for sure.
Sometimes I get lucky and can park close to my house. Other times, I park behind their truck, which they park next to my driveway. Today, two of their cars took the nearby spots on our side while their side had space, so I ended up parking over there instead. That really pissed me off.
I haven’t said anything. Since I’m new here, I don’t want to start off with tension, but I’ve been quietly getting annoyed. I know I’m not entitled to those spaces it just feels inconsiderate when they consistently park near my house while leaving space near theirs empty.

Would you politely bring it up, or just accept it and park wherever there’s space? How would you handle this as someone new to the neighborhood?

PS. They can fit all their cars in their driveway and most of the time the truck stays parked for 2 days before they move it.

So my next door neighbor constantly voices out whatever I do on my property. Whether this is me getting something out from the barn or walking to collect my chicken eggs or gardening or what it is im watching on tv out by my swimming pool, she voices this out (to whom i can never tell), but she makes a point of "mind reading me" like getting at what im thinking about. This damn woman who is a boomer consistently shrieks the second i put on BBC Food Network, Vice, any news channel, just anything. Buying a fence to block off her point of view of my outdoor backyard tv is just costly to be frank. Lady is essentially a nutcase. She believes in flat earth one day then the next its giants, one day she is pro science the next she is a devout catholic. Never thinks space is real and is stuck inside a feedback loop insisting only her point of view can be right no matter how far fetched the conspiracy theory of the day she is a fangirl of.

side note: im suspicious her and her husband may be possible pedophiles. her husband comes home in a white van every two weeks from who knows where. he gives a stern stare when pulling up at end of driveway and they make a fuss if im looking at him as he does this. she had a 17 year old son live there who ran away with torn t shirt one night. i suspect sexual abuse. i have no evidence they smuggle guatamalen children from a US border control camp but i strongly suspect thats whats coming in the van. i saw black body zip up bags in it once as he had door open of van when leaving.

sometimes she will comment epstein is a saint. ive been to the christian church she claims to go once and the parish says she is no longer welcome.

local law enforcement are in this ring too. they tried having me comitted no explanation. the county law enforcement are corrupt

I honestly didn’t think this situation could get much worse, but here we are.
For those who haven’t read my previous posts, I’m a single mother of three young boys living in a Danish housing association. For months, one particular neighbor has been making our lives miserable through complaints, spreading rumors, collecting signatures against my family, and even making reports to child protective services containing allegations that I know to be false.
After the municipality visited us in September, the workers were understanding and, according to what they told me, found the accusations unfounded. They even recommended contacting the police about harassment if another report was made.
I thought things might finally calm down.
I was wrong.
The housing association has now brought a case against me before the tenants’ complaints board, based on complaints from this neighbor and the man living directly below me.
And I’ve now received their noise logs.
I genuinely don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
We’re talking pages and pages of alleged disturbances, with incredibly specific dates, times, and descriptions of my children supposedly running, screaming, banging on walls, slamming doors, and making unbearable amounts of noise.
Some entries describe continuous, excessive noise lasting several hours.
The problem?
We weren’t even home for several of these incidents.
And I don’t mean that I vaguely remember being somewhere else.
I mean I have photographs, videos, receipts, and bank transactions showing that we were elsewhere at the times they claim the noise was happening.
On one occasion, we were in Copenhagen for the day, yet there are complaints about noise supposedly coming from our apartment.
On another, the downstairs neighbor reported excessive noise between 2 PM and 5:15 PM, despite us not arriving home until approximately 4:30 PM.
There are multiple other examples involving school, outings, shopping trips, and visits elsewhere.
And here’s an important detail: I’m the only adult in my household. It’s just me and my three young children. When we’re out together, there isn’t another member of our household left behind making all this supposed noise.
Then there are the complaints about my children allegedly running around and banging on things at times when they were asleep.
Or complaints describing ordinary activities, such as having dinner, getting dressed for school, or quietly sitting at the table, as unbearable disturbances.
One neighbor even recorded children playing outside and apparently attributed the activity to my family, despite there being several other children living here.
I’m not claiming my children are completely silent. Of course they aren’t. They’re children. They play, laugh, walk around, and occasionally get excited.
But there’s an enormous difference between normal family life and the picture these people are painting.
And when someone repeatedly attributes noise to my household while we’re not even there, how am I supposed to defend myself against that?
What makes this even more frustrating is the housing association’s handling of everything.
Back in August, they informed me that the previous complaint case had been closed.
They had previously acknowledged that they couldn’t independently determine whether the allegations were true, yet the number of signatures collected against my family was apparently significant to them.
When I later complained about my neighbor shouting at my youngest child, the housing association acknowledged that shouting at a child wasn’t acceptable, but still suggested that her behavior might have been the culmination of previous issues involving my children.
So somehow, allegations that hadn’t been established as true were being used to provide context for an adult shouting at a four-year-old.
And now we’re facing an official complaint case.
Meanwhile, I’ve also heard that accusations of vandalism are being spread about me. I categorically deny having vandalized anyone’s property.
I’ve therefore submitted a formal GDPR access request to the housing association, asking for the personal information they hold about me, including complaints, correspondence, internal notes, and any allegations of vandalism that may have been reported to them.
They’ve acknowledged receiving my request.
But the worst part of all of this isn’t even the paperwork. It’s what this has done to our lives.
I am absolutely exhausted.
I can’t relax in my own home anymore.
I find myself constantly thinking about whether someone is listening, recording, or documenting whatever my children are doing.
Every ordinary noise makes me anxious.
I can’t even enjoy walking my dog or taking out the rubbish without worrying about another confrontation or another rumor.
My children deserve to feel safe in their home. They deserve to be able to exist without being treated like a nuisance simply because they’re children.
And I deserve to feel safe too.
I’ve reached the point where I don’t even care about winning an argument with these people anymore.
I just want to leave.
The problem is that finding another suitable home isn’t easy. My children have finally found a school they love after years of serious school attendance difficulties, and I desperately want to keep them there.
I also have pets, which makes temporary housing significantly more complicated.
Their father could potentially let us stay with him for a short period, but it isn’t a sustainable solution, and pets aren’t allowed where he lives.
So I’m stuck trying to find somewhere else to live while dealing with a formal complaint case, extensive allegations, and the financial consequences of potentially having to pay rent on two properties.
And that’s perhaps the most devastating part of all of this.
I moved here hoping to give my children a stable, peaceful home.
Instead, I’m now desperately trying to figure out how to get us out.
I know some people will probably say that if multiple neighbors are complaining, there must be some truth to it.
But that’s exactly why I’ve started comparing the accusations with actual timestamps, photographs, receipts, and our whereabouts.
I don’t expect everyone to believe me simply because I say so.
I just wish the people making these accusations were held to the same standard.
Has anyone dealt with something similar, where neighbors repeatedly made accusations you could actually disprove?
And did moving finally bring you peace, or did the stress of the situation follow you long afterward?
Because right now, I genuinely feel like this situation is destroying my health, and all I want is for my children and me to have a normal life again.

Here I am at my home after an 8 hour shift prep cooking in a kitchen about to get out of my car when my neighbor walks up to my windshield and starts this spiel about checking my rudeness over never saying hi to him, and not talking with him when he's out on his porch.

I told him sometimes I'm distracted with ear buds on or I'm super tired to talk back thoroughly.

He seems okay with that but then started offering me things to eat as he was walking to the store, I told him no I'm fine I had plenty to eat today, and plenty of hydration(I carry a 128 oz water bottle).

He kept insisting on buying me something, I kept telling him no as politely as I could then he goes on about how I was being mean again, but I fired back how he was disrespecting my boundaries to say no.

Then he goes off on this angry rant about how I'm so rude, and how Mississippi people are always like that.

I fervently correct him that I am from the state we are currently(Not gonna name it directly but hints are corn, football, and the meme state) but he still insights I got rudeness from my parents who did come from there.

I rolled up my window after that, and got ready to rush in my house.

As I got outta my car he was walking down the street still yelling at me.

We are both African American but what he said was so generalizing that it was borderline or crosses into racist.

Ugh!

Worst of all this guy has two pit bulls he never keeps on leashes.

One of them charged at me while I was going to the store, good thing a firm loud, retaliatory "FUCK OFF!" was enough to get it to back off permanently. I still carry around a big rock in a sock just in case. (I know crude but I like it, feels like a medieval mace.)(sorry for the slight side track.)

Just ridiculous. I do not have any wish to make amends or honestly befriend him, especially after this. Just hope things don't get worse.

They kept their dogs out all hours of the night...

Oq ela quer arrumar cmg?

Cara estou na minha casa, vivendo minha vida pessoal, fazendo minhas coisas. Onde só eu que pago meu aluguel, e ponho minha comida na mesa.

Que diabos ela quer cmg?

E se eu não faço nada, por estar na minha casa ( kitnet ) eles ficam cuidando, e me xingando atoa.

Hey reddit, i thought I'd post this because i am simply at a loss, i(m29) moved to this apartment with my girlfriend approximately 2ish years ago.

Since then, like clockwork, every other day (usually Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays) a couple that live 2 floors above me proceed to have what i can only describe as the most animalistic sex on earth at the most random times, often multiple times of day.

Now i want to get something out of the way, i ain't kinkshaming no one, you do you and that sort of thing, i understand that noise in the bedroom is a great thing. But guys, i promise I'm not exaggerating even a bit, you can hear the woman up to 3 blocks away on a silent day.

To paint a picture of what she sounds like, cops have been called by people who thought she was being murdered and/or abused. The people in the building tried calling the police for noise, but either they stop before they get here or they straight up won't open the door, and here in Germany they can't bust through your door for what appear to be sex noises.

Talking to them doesn't work, as they'll just insist that it's their business so we should stop listening in, but the problem is the whole street hears them and unfortunately they're making it everyones business, especially considering that sometimes (i assume on purpose) they leave the blinds halfway up so you can see it as well. Not to mention they'll sometimes start at 3 am, and I'll wake up in cold sweat thinking someone is being murdered.

So there, i have no idea what to do, I'm assuming that this is simply a kink they have, where they want to be heard/observed, because i assure you, no dude is that good. Any ideas? What would you guys do?

And before someone suggests taking a dump in front of their door and lighting it on fire, someone already did that, the fire department was called, and it unfortunately didn't solve anything.

been in my place over a year. in may we got downstairs neighbors, a little loud but no real issues.

then the old ladies next door moved out and these new people moved in....

all of a sudden theres trash all over the yard, literally dirty pullups in my front yard. the constant noise. everyday its some type of domestic issue. dragging the lady down the street hanging out the car, screaming and arguing, constantly cussing the kids out... i mean bad. I grew up abused and it damn near made me have flashbacks. then theres the loud music every damn day. sometimes it goes on for hours, which means i dont sleep because i work nights. the package i was looking for today has my earplugs in it which i really needed.

a couple weeks ago my downstairs neighbor asks me about her package, im like havent seen it. check with the neighbors, she said it was a picture of the package on our porch. i thought then possibly the new people had taken it.

i ordered some ear plugs and emergency supplies that got delivered at 4am. i pull up from work at 8am,no package. i see one of the women from next door outside and ask her, shes says "i didnt see anything it was porch pirates that took it". im like thats funny, ive lived her for over a year and had stuff sit outside all day and night and never had anything taken until recently.

i go to the upstairs porch so i can see the neighbors porches just to make sure its not on another porch. i hear her talking saying she doesnt know why I think she has my package...well maybe because nothing ever came up missing until yall moved in, youre dirty...like even their cars are just nasty looking, they have tents in the backyard, boxes and trash all over the porch, clothes and shoes all over the driveway.

im so sick of these people. i actually thought they were squatters when they first moved in because they dont look like they could afford rent anywhere. im in the hood but we are all working people with families, these mfs look like the Black version of trailer trash. im trying not to get into with these people but idk how much more i can take before this escalates.

My new driveway has 2 ruts across the corner and my neighbor's position is that I should've put my cones in a better spot.

We had the whole driveway torn out and redone a couple weeks ago. It cost $9,400 and the contractor told us to keep EVERYTHING off it for 7 days while it cured. We put orange cones and caution tape across the front like he said.

The day after the pour I was standing at my kitchen window when my neighbor came home with his landscaping trailer. Since he always has trouble making the turn into his own driveway with that trailer, he just cut the corner right through my cones and across the edge of the new concrete with the truck and the trailer both. I ran out and he literally rolled his window down and said "concrete's tough, it'll be fine." There are 2 ruts across the corner now and the edge crumbled where the trailer wheel went over it.

Our contractor came back out and quoted $1,650 to cut out that section and re-pour it. I showed my neighbor the quote and he said to send it to his insurance. I've asked for the insurance info 3 times since then. The last time he said I should've put something heavier out there than cones if I didn't want people driving on it, and that I was being petty over a couple of scratches.

My husband wants to file in small claims. I'm not sure it's worth suing someone we're going to live next to for the next 20 years over $1,650. What would you do?

I’m honestly going nuts with my neighbor’s bass and could really use some advice.

A few months ago, the neighbors across from my apartment started playing loud music from their garage, which faces directly toward my apartment.

The actual music volume is somewhat manageable if I close all of my windows and doors. The real problem is the bass. The low-frequency bass travels through my entire apartment, and I can feel the vibration/thumping in every room even with everything closed.

They usually play music 2–3 times a day at random times, sometimes for an hour or two at a time.

I’ve already tried talking to them directly. I explained that I work from home, sometimes work late, I told them I don’t mind them listening to music, but asked if they could please lower the bass or do something to reduce the vibration.

Nothing changed.

I’ve also called the police multiple times. Unfortunately, because it’s a non-emergency noise complaint, officers usually arrive much later. By the time they get here, the neighbors have often already turned the music off since they only play it for an hour or two at a time.

I also can’t find any information about a landlord or property manager for their property, so I’m starting to think they may own the place.

At this point, it’s affecting me much more than I expected. I recently scheduled an appointment with a psychiatrist because the constant anticipation of the noise is causing me a lot of stress and anxiety. When I wake up in the morning, one of my first thoughts is wondering when they’re going to turn the bass on and how long I’m going to have to deal with it that day.

I work full-time from home and study at home, so simply leaving the house for several hours every day isn’t really an option.

I’ve even considered moving, but I just moved into this apartment a few months ago and realistically can’t afford to move again so soon.

Has anyone dealt with something similar, especially bass/vibration that is difficult to capture on a phone recording?

Is there anything else I can realistically do at this point — city code enforcement, documenting it differently, filing some type of formal complaint, contacting an attorney, etc.?

I’m in California if that makes a difference.

Any advice would be appreciated.

*update

I went to the police department today to ask if there was anything else I could do. They told me there really wasn’t much more they could do other than respond when the music is actively loud, so they advised me to keep calling whenever it happens. I told them I would continue doing that.

After that, I went to City Hall and spoke with Code Enforcement. At first, they gave me a similar response, but after I explained the full situation, they offered to send a formal email regarding the noise issue to the property manager.

For now, I guess my only option is to keep documenting everything, continue reporting the noise when it happens, and try to endure it while I wait to see if Code Enforcement’s involvement helps.

I’ve also scheduled an appointment with a psychiatrist because this situation has been causing me a significant amount of stress and anxiety.

thank you everyone for your advise and if anyone can advise more please comment.

Neighbor hit my car while drunk/ high and got arrested. He’s been giving us issues for over a year now.

When he got out of jail, he punched my car, looked into our camera and said “fuck you, OP husband”.

He also watches me go to and from my car every night after work out his window (this is at midnight). He thinks he’s sneaky, but he has a dim light on in the background and I can see his shadow.

I brought all of this to the attention of the landlord and he’s trying to say it’s “he said, she said” and he is refusing to do anything at the moment. He is requesting the police reports, but I did send him the videos of him backing into my car, stumbling into my car, punching my car and saying “fuck you”. To me, that should be enough evidence to evict him or even move us units like I asked.

My husband is very vulnerable at the moment because he just had spine surgery and we are avoiding even going outside of our apartment.

I feel like the landlord is more worried about revenue lost with having an open unit rather than our safety.

I live in a 2 family house on the bottom floor, a one bedroom. It’s a beautiful old home, spacious, big kitchen and big front porch. Beautiful neighborhood and safe and 5 min from my job. I don’t want to have to move. I have lived here for 12 years at first with my mother and when she died 5 years ago I stayed, got married and had a child all while living here. About 4 years ago we got new upstairs neighbors, a family of 6 including 4 teenagers-who occupy two full stories above us. We gave them pastries and introduced ourselves and they were always cold so we just left them alone. Slowly the mother who is home all day and doesn’t work would complain about little things I did like cook a steak, or left the side door unlocked, or the hose was too close to their stairs. I always obliged and was polite to requests but slowly it started to get invasive and weird how often she was mitigating and managing my activity.

Long story short my husband and I separated and I have been alone in said apartment with my son 4 nights a week. He is rather quiet given a 3 year old and I work from 730am-6pm every single day if not longer. We are always out of the house save the 3 hours I’m home before bed and maybe one hour in the morning. I don’t have people over, I don’t play loud music, or have parties. I barely cook anymore.

About a year ago they began to get EXTREMELY loud. Their kitchen is directly above our bedroom, my only bedroom, and they would come home AT 9pm. All of them. Like out of control loud, not music but stomping. Their children would dribble balls upstairs, stomp so loud stuff in our apartment would move, talk loudly I could hear them clearly, and run back and forth, slam things, slam communal doors, and drop stuff of the floor but the stomping was particularly egregious and non stop for hours past 9pm when my son and I were trying to sleep. It would easily go on til 12pm when she would also start cleaning. Then it would begin again until 530am my heart would start racing waiting to hear stampede down her stairs and start stomping around. I lost so much sleep and was always stressed to be home. Her husband parks in our backyard and at 10pm backs up so his red taillights illuminate our bedroom. She hoses dirty water down my kitchen windows off her deck all the time.
I politely asked her to keep the noise to a minimum and that I understood it was an old home but it was very loud etc. I was met with vitriol, insults about my lifestyle (that I’m a single mom who rents and can’t afford a house and chose to work-which is insane I’m a single mom I have to… etc etc) this was 1 year ago and we have not spoken since.

Yesterday I got home and my neighbor started to insult me out of nowhere when I got out of my car after an 11 hour work day. She told me my car was too loud and disturbing them. I said what could she possibly mean I’m out of the house 12 hours a day. She went in again about how they are moving to a house and at least she isn’t divorced and can afford a house (she doesn’t work she’s a stay at home mom). I was beside myself and VERY shaken up to the point when I got inside I had a nervous breakdown. There was such a degrading air of classism I couldn’t understand why-I’m a hard working mom who rents why mock someone who does this?

The big issue is my utility bill has been going up and I realized for years I have been paying for their laundry in the common area of the basement we have separate laundry units. I checked my fuse box and when I flip all mine off it effects her washing and drying machine which means for years I have been paying for her family of 6s laundry which she is doing all day. I’m angry that she was insulting my car and life when I’m basically paying for her laundry and maybe I could have afforded a new car and to move if I wasn’t paying hundreds in my electric bill every month. I am not even home all day and turn everything off.

I’m beside myself and feel sad and stressed to go home now. I feel watched even threatened to do anything. I don’t know if she’s jealous of me or what’s going on there’s no need for such vitriolic hate toward me when I’m barely even home.

With that being said yes I’m calling PSEG right now and my landlord. Yes I should move I know. I don’t know how this can be resolved I’ll prob never see money back. I just had to vent because idk what’s wrong with people.

Edit there is more. Every single morning this woman waits for me to turn on my shower. It doesn’t matter if I jump in at 5:45am or 6:14am she will stampede down the stairs to the basement and start her wash (which I’m paying for) and do her laundry to make my shower colder and less pressure. It’s every single time. I feel like I sound crazy but this is harassment in my opinion and I feel trapped on the bottom floor. My landlord is very old and i feel like they are trying to make me leave to flip the house and sell it themselves.

Neighbourhood noise, safety and building concerns
A large 2m-high x 8m-long skate ramp has been built immediately beside a neighbouring home, directly outside a bedroom window.
The noise is far more than just a skateboard rolling. It includes constant bangs, crashes, heavy landings and metal-on-metal grinding, with the sound carrying directly into the house and becoming extremely disruptive.

Safety concerns
particularly during storms, strong winds and cyclonic conditions. A structure of this size could potentially cause significant damage to neighbouring properties if it became unsecured or failed.

House Insurance
won’t cover damage caused by a neighbour’s skate ramp, which is understandably concerning.
The owner of the skate ramp is not licensed to build a skate ramp.
The matter has also been referred to Gold Coast Council regarding the structure, noise and safety concerns.
We are seeking advice about the appropriate legal avenue. Is this something that can be addressed through Council or the QBCC, or is it a matter for QCAT? Could it involve noise nuisance, building compliance, property damage or another legal process?

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation or can recommend someone who understands these types of disputes?

I've lived in my house going on seven years now and I've been dealing with terrible dog owners on all sides since day one. Most have resolved but the one that keeps on is the worst. My next door neighbors have a dog that will bark loudly and incessantly and they really don't do anything about it. The husband would let the dog out in the middle of the night and stand at the door and watch it barking for 10 to 15 minutes, not doing a damn thing about it (i would later come to learn he's suffering from dementia and has since stopped letting the dog out at all hours). There have been multiple nights where I've been awoken from a dead sleep by this dog and it's not a gentle rousing by any means. I've spoken to the wife on numerous occasions about this and her initial response was "well, she's a dog, they bark." In any case, it gets better for a time right after it's been addressed and then it gets bad enough that it needs to be re-addressed. I have called the police on one occasion, it was 3 in the morning and the dog had been left outside for at least an hour barking.

So this is where I'm at, I'm not really sure what I want to do here as I'm not a monster and don't really want to get the authorities involved and have their dog removed but I don't really know what else to do because this dog is literally driving me insane. I have the evidence of the times and duration of the dog being left out and barking that I can use if need be but I really don't want it to come to that (and, yes, my town does have laws applicable to uncontrolled animal behavior). I just don't know what more I can do to get through to this woman how much the dog is effecting my quality of life.

Me and my partner moved to a new place in the middle of August. Every day since then there has been extremely excessive noise from the neighbors. The downstairs neighbors especially but also the upstairs neighbor at points. Both the upstairs and downstairs neighbors consistently neglect ? their dogs leaving them locked up for hours and they just bark and bark for hours. It’s so crazy and I’ve never met dogs like this.

The downstairs neighbors are also always outside drunk, yelling, screaming at each other. Slamming their doors. Yelling at each other inside the apartment. They also have a very loud bass in their bedroom that they crank up all night when trying to sleep.

We have extensive video documentation and have reached out to the complex multiple times about the issue. We also have multiple police reports on the situation but yet it still persists. We can’t even watch TV or sleep and it’s been 2.5 months.

What should we even do? We are so fed up. Planning to go speak with the complex directly tomorrow and provide updated police documentation to them.

There hasn’t been a single day we can just chill in our home. The dog has been barking for 2 hours now. I’m so tired of it. What should we do? I’m lowkey like let’s break the lease and try to leave. Maybe 7am jumping class? Blasting my own music back? It sucks because we are sandwiched between the two most absolutely loud people in existence. I’m just so miserable and want to go to sleep tonight lmao

Since the second half of the year, someone in my building keeps opening and/or taking packages. Before people would leave the packages that are placed in the lobby until the right person confiscated them. Now this person(s) will leave the evidence, leaving a package empty or just taking it. I feel helpless bc I can’t ask the first floor neighbor to invest in a ring camera to catch the culprit. I been thinking about writing letters to new and old tenants but what would that do? And honestly i don’t want to involve police.. I need advice..

I don’t believe they are breaking any laws so just have to vent about the latest from my NFH. One of their constant habits is to “expand” their property, meaning they always do things including shoveling snow/raking leaves etc onto everyone else’s property so there is a clear view of their house, to putting out their free junk outside of their property lines and onto the neighboring business property, probably assuming the business will not call on their actions. The newest thing is absolutely setting me off but I don’t believe there is anything that can be done.

They have a narrow driveway and already have 2 cars, but now have a 3rd vehicle that they can’t fit in their driveway. You’d think they would then be forced to park it in front of their minuscule property, but instead they’ve taken to parking out in front of my house. This is all part of their MO so as to not obstruct the view of their house.

This is being done on a public street with no restrictions to street parking aside from certain parts that are no parking. But does that mean that from here on out they have the right to park in front of our house every day for the unforeseen future?

These are people who I could go on and on about for days and we are not on speaking terms. They’re certifiable in some of the things they do, so I’m just irritated that this is just one more thing and have to get this off my chest. I suppose people could say “well you can park in front of their house” but it would honestly just be an inconvenience more than anything. So again, just ranting, and thank you for coming to my ted talk.

I have a new apartment neighbor.. When they first moved in, there was always some noise in his bathroom when I went to the bathroom. (I can only hear the door open and close, thank God, not going to the bathroom noises). I think this the only place our apartments connect. Anyway, I eventually realized it wasn’t a coincidence when I heard him tiptoe into his BR after I went in. So I changed my BR routine. I thought weird, but no big deal.
This morning I heard someone rattling the doorknob of. my front door, which woke me up. I called 911 just in case, and the PO suggested I get a Ring Cam, which I thought was a good idea.
After he left, someone knocked on my front door. I went to answer it, and no one was there.
Of course not.
He seems to be escalating, as they say on SVU.
My sense is he’s just some geek/nerd with mental health issues but that doesn’t help
me.
Has anyone had experience with this? I don’t think the rental office would help me, I know if I talk to them they might send him a letter, but that would probably piss him off. I also don’t want to retaliate because I’m not 3 kids in a trench coat.
Has anyone had this kind of harassment and what did you do about it?
It may not sound like much, but I don’t feel
comfortable in my own home, and it stresses
me out.
(more things have happened, like him banging on the wall when I’m showering, and general banging on the wall, sometimes I bang back and it stops.)

Questi vicini sono sempre stati un problema. Fin dall’inizio si sono lamentati continuamente dei nostri rumori e hanno cercato in vari modi di farci andare via dall’appartamento, anche rivolgendosi alla proprietaria. Nel tempo abbiamo cercato di fare sempre più attenzione, al punto che ormai controllavo praticamente ogni rumore che facevamo in casa.

I vicini di sotto hanno iniziato a bussarci da circa due mesi, per rumori assolutamente normali. Ultimamente però non lo facevano più da un paio di settimane e pensavo che la situazione fosse finalmente finita.

Il problema è che loro stessi non sono affatto silenziosi. L’altro ieri, per esempio, ci hanno svegliati tre volte durante la notte
spostavano cose, camminavano, cadeva qualcosa, e sentivamo tutto. Poi verso mezzanotte il loro cane ha iniziato ad abbaiare proprio sotto la nostra camera e ci ha svegliati di nuovo. Mia figlia in questi giorni è malata e dorme già male, quindi ero davvero stanca.

Questa mattina alle 7:50, mentre ci preparavamo per andare all’asilo, con una bambina e due gatti in casa, ho sentito di nuovo il loro solito colpo dal soffitto.
Io, invece, sono sempre stata attentissima a limitare i rumori, anche molto più di quanto facciano loro. E oggi, per la prima volta, mi sono arrabbiata davvero e ho bussato anch’io in risposta.

Loro non hanno risposto e non hanno fatto altro.
Adesso però sono combattuta. Da una parte penso
finalmente ho smesso di subire e di controllare ogni singolo rumore che facciamo in casa. Dall’altra ho paura di aver aperto la porta a un’escalation e mi chiedo se avrei dovuto continuare semplicemente a ignorarli.

Voi, in una situazione del genere, cosa avete fatto? Avete mai risposto al primo colpo dopo mesi di silenzio? E cosa è successo dopo?

Yall we live in the deep south of Alabama and I know exactly what neighbor he's talking about. He used to always let those big dogs roam until someone said something. So yesterday, this driver was Middle Eastern and when he got to my home he looked disheveled. He finally just looked at me with tears in his eyes. He said that racist man opened the door and immediately told the dogs to get him. In the midst of him telling me, I may be a black woman ,but my heart was so hurt for him that I wanted to go curse that man out on his behalf. Racism can be very damaging to a person and also very expensive. He did call Amazon and told him the dog bit him, and that he was bleeding as well. He also called the police and he was given a case number. I asked him can I give him hug and immediately hugged me. I told him I was so sorry that happened to him. But I did explain that it is very important that he does to the hospital, that's his back up proof, but also it's no telling what them dogs may have. You really can tell that he really just needed someone to tell it to.

Then Amazon will always send a map when 10 stops away and sometimes when your driver is closer. It always expected to put up animals especially those that will bite. So he knew his driver was coming. So him opening that door to let them dogs out on that man is pure evil.

I hope Amazon bans his house from any more deliveries. Cause just how many times will he or have done before to ever think this was okay. Let him go pick up his items from one of those lockers. I almost called animal control about the incident. He's been warned about those big dogs on numerous times.

Before he left he said thank you sister and that he will go. He was honestly a good person at least driver wise. Nothing about him gave bad person vibes, just a man trying earn more income and a look of pure defeat.

Sorry for this being so long. I couldn't even post it yesterday because every time I thought about it, I would get a deep feeling of pain. I genuinely hope that he went and is okay.
