My downstairs neighbor is continuing behaviors that negatively impact me so much so I can't enjoy my own apartment. Downstairs neighbor has been smoking weed, cigarettes and turning on her music only in what is typically considered late at night between the hours of 11:30PM - 4:30PM filling my bedroom and other rooms with it. In addition I can hear her yelling at people either on the phone or in her apartment, singing and drumming on the walls at times and slamming doors at all hours. The weed and cigarettes got so bad I could not use my primary bathroom at all from late August of last year through December despite paying $1,850 for my 2BR, 2BA apartment. EVERYDAY during these months it smelled like someone was in my apartment smoking, that is how strong it is. And she often smokes weed in bed in the middle of the night, filling my bedroom (directly above her) with it.
I told her about the issues, she denied that she smokes, despite me seeing her with my own eyes smoking weed and cigarettes and also vaping on her balcony and exiting her car to go to her apt. She even blamed the couple directly next to me, they denied it as well and immediately invited me in to smell it and no odor of anything was there all while my apt next door to them was absolutely bonkers with weed. Upstairs neighbors did not take kindly when I informed them that downstairs neighbor blamed them. I had ridiculous electric bills from opening my windows in the heat of the summer and early fall trying to let the weed out of my apartment and it never even worked, she must have been smoking weed continuously because the odors came back shortly after closing my windows.
The second time I tried talking to her was when she awakened me in the middle of the night loudly banging her metal bed non-stop on the wall (apparently while having sex), she had some guy come out yelling at me with a gun strapped around his neck. I believe it to have possibly been a toy but the rental office did nothing about noise or that threat either. I did not call the police because I felt stuck between a rock and hard place, the office may take a police report against my neighbor and try to use that to kick me out instead of her/the actual offender. Sure enough, the rental office asked me for one at least 2 or 3 times when I asked them what they are going to do about the noise and weed after that night.
I've called management and despite what feels like dozens of complaints between June and November, all they did was put a letter on everyone's door and told me there's nothing they can do but let me out of my lease or move to another apartment in the community with no guarantee this won't happen again. The lease they created and signed states tenants are not to disturb other tenants yet that keeps happening. Not even a full year in, I've put in my notice but less than a week after that, the neighbor is ramping up even worse so I'm sure the staff told the bad neighbor I'm moving. She has also started waking me up in the mornings by scraping something constantly on her bedroom wall for 5, 10 or even 15 minutes at a time. I want to physically beat the manure out of her but I know I will be the one who gets arrested and she will continue to skate.
I want to give the bitch a taste of her own medicine. Any legal, irritating AF ideas?
