Open Question: How do I deal with a neighbor? |
My wife and I are in our mid 20′s and we have a 10 months old cocker spaniel who is fully house trained. I’m hardly ever home due to military duties and my wife work the night shift and she doesn’t come home until just before dawn. Ever since we moved into this little apartment complex we were greeted by the other tenants except for one. This lady look like she was in her late 20′s and always had that look that she didn’t want anyone living in the unit directly behind her. I finally decided to post this when she called the police complaining that there’s a noise disturbance coming from my apt. My wife had a couple of her co-workers over at around 2am and talked in a low settled voice in the living room. Our spaniel was laying on the couch beside my wife while she was chatting and didn’t really do much. So the neighbor, being who she is, called the police and they told my wife she would be cited if they get a call like this again. The police asked my wife if she had the television on or if the dog was barking, she said no to all, she was just talking with her friends. But wait it gets better, the police went to talk with the lady for a bit and came back to talk to my wife saying she heard barking, loud noises and decided to throw in that her ex-husband was a cop also. Sounds like something out of Lakeview Terrace, eh? I felt as if she was planning a plot to some how find the perfect excuse for my wife and I to get evicted. I wont let it stand because I have two other neighbors, one directly behind me and one who lives above that one to verified that they have not received any type of disturbance from my apt. The owner of the property already notified us about the complaint that were made to my wife and wanted to talk to her today about it. I wanted to know what action I should take without my family having to relocate. Keep in mind that she filed a couple of other complaint about my wife before but only to the property owners. Also here’s a good one, the lady bedroom share the same wall to my living room, this is the same wall where I have my main couch and a school desk. I bet she would rather have my entertainment center on that wall rather than the couch, eh?
