BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Life Coaching Need Help With Rude Neighbor

Oh! And get a decibel meter, they aren't *that* much - and start recording how loud these noises are. That way you have more proof that they are infringing on your home peace and quiet.

An update on the situation:

The neighbor has been repeatedly warned and repeatedly continues to break the rules. The management told me she been given a final warning, the next step is to be asked to vacate. She now has had, for over a week, storing a lot of stuff in the entry way again, which is a common area. This makes it a safety hazard in case there is an emergency like a fire or earthquake. The night securtiy guard has told us he made documentation on it, but that was over a week ago and the stuff is still there.

My daughter has asked me not to make any more complaints, fearing repercussions from the neighbors. The management has offered us a "deal". If we move to another location, away from this neighbor, they will give us a discount for all the inconvience we have endured. We accepted. The new apartment will be on the other side of the street, in a better area, closer to everything (gym, pool, etc) and will have a washer/dryer in the unit.

This is good for us, but, I am concerned as to why the neighbor is getting away with all this nonsense and rule-breaking. Well, she will no longer be our concern after we move.

Even though we will come out better on this, I hate the thought of moving once again. Maybe (I tell myself) the management wants us out and at a safe distance when they evict the neighbor.?!

Phyllis, I wish you happiness in your new apartment. I live in a low income housing project with over 300 families. I know how miserable people can make it for you. I took to kicking my neighbors door and screaming at her (I don't recommend this) but i just couldn't stand her music any longer. After my 3rd complaint to the manager still nothing was done, I finally went to someone above my manager. And she got evicted for numerous breaking of the lease.
Only thing is some one else just moved in and the second day they were here her live in boyfriend broke into my cellar. Sad thing is we can't choose our neighbors

That is so true, Rosie. When one lives in apartment complexes, you are at the mercy of the whims of management as to who lives next to you.

Phyllis...

I know it's a pain, but I'm glad to hear you are moving to a better area with a few more perks.
It will be nice to get away from this neighbor.

That is awesome and an ideal resolution!! You get a better apartment, you get a quieter situation and you are far away from that person no matter what happens. I think you should look on this as a HUGE blessing and a chance to do some house cleaning and reorganizing while you're at it!

Thanks Lisa and Lisa! I have been a little down just thinking about the move, but you both have just cheered me up and helped me to have a better outlook on this resolution - which I know is the best outcome of all this.
