How do you deal with a neighbor that has no regard for anyone
Posted: Jul 16, 2011
How would you deal with a neighbor in a townhouse semidetached type neighborhood who has no regard for anyone at all and they just take over everything. They burn a firepit every night with skids which they shouldnt be and smoke goes in everyones house and ashes all over the cars. They used to have their dog out in other yards and the kids just everywhere doing whatever. They live like they own everything around them. We did put up a fence and that helped some of this but they are just a real problem. They took shingles off their storage shed and they are still laying beside the shed and on it goes.

neighbors with no respect - just want to work
[ In Reply To ..]I have one of the same problems but, in addition, they like to party all night and have fights. I have called the cops so many times and nothing definitive gets done. So frustrating, so fed up, and it doesn't seem like there is an answer. I truly understand.
Dont the police have a noise ordinance. See inside - PAMT
[ In Reply To ..]Do they know you call the police. I used to worry about that but I think I am so sick of it I will just get the police involved and if they know so be it. If these people break the law then they should be stopped. These are out all hours of the night also.
annoying neighbors - just want to work
[ In Reply To ..]I make it anonymous but they still know. I don't care anymore. One of the kids next door has been threatening to kill me for quite awhile now and he might, that's how messed up he is.
I used to have a neighbor like that in an apartment - building. After he and his - sm
[ In Reply To ..]girlfriend moved in, they began "spreading out" almost immediately, taking over areas that were for other apartments, or common areas, as if they owned everything. They parked in everyone's assigned spot but their own. Whenever a unit was empty, they would take over that unit's storage locker in the garage. Soon they had 4 of them! Their vegetable garden spread from their balcony to the patio of another unit, and part of the courtyard. Sometimes it seemed like the girlfriend was taking in laundry for cash, because our machines (we only had 2 for a 16-unit building) were always full of THEIR stuff. In the summer, the pool area became "theirs", too. They played their TV and music too loud, had loud parties, and damaged apartment property and the property of other tenants. One hot evening, they moved all of their living room furniture out onto the front balcony (which was a shared sidewalk for all the upstairs apartments), essentially blocking anyone from using the adjacent stairs. They brought their TV out there, and basically "lived" outdoors for a couple nights, right next to someone else's bedroom! They were just unbelievably rude and thoughtless.
But, maybe there's a silver lining for you. My neighbors were also thoughtless when it came to paying their rent in full, and had also cheated the landlords in a yardwork-for-lowered-rent exchange. (They got the lowered rent, but never did a lick of work). Eventually they got evicted. One of the happiest days of my life.
Unfortunately we all own here. I am ready to rent though and get out of here. - PAMT
[ In Reply To ..]There are really nice apartment complexes around here that are run pretty tight and that is what I feel like doing. Get sick of this hassle all the time. I just like peace in my life and to be left alone.
I used to live like that in NoCal. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Although it was rental units, it was just as bad. As a result of "cultural" differences, the units on either side of mine had three generations living in each. Considering each unit also had cars for mom, dad, kid, and kid's wife, there was no real visitor parking as their cars were always in it. One of the 3-bedroom units had 9 people in it, the other 8, and things are just not going to be quiet; one side of me had the night owls who would be out on the patio partying all night and the other side the morning glories who seemed to think that since they were up at 6 am, everyone should be. Despite the fact that I was paying $1500/month, I was rarely able to relax and enjoy my space.
So I packed up my stuff and moved to the middle of nowhere on a small acreage. I had to give up good internet and Starbucks, but it is great not having that daily stress.

[ In Reply To ..]If you have an association, you should contact the board president and/or your property manager. That is why you pay monthly assessments and that is what they are there for!
What are skids - in the firepit?
[ In Reply To ..]I'm thinking spare tires... or maybe dirty diapers or underwear?
I believe skids are the wood pallets that - sm - XXX
[ In Reply To ..]one could get from a warehouse...you keep supplies on them to keep them off the ground, add also so a forklift can easily pick up and move. ---this guy probably brings them home for free firewood.

I've lurked for awhile and read so much erroneous thinking about economics, economic policies, etc. that it's clear that some education is in order. I'll start with the nonsense about Bush and the crash of 2008. Like the crash of 1929, the crash of 2008 was brewing for years before it occurred - in fact, back to the Clinton era when people like Barney Frank and Charles Schumer set out to make mortgages available to people who couldn't afford them.

Neighbor's Barking DogSep 21, 2011
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle a neighbor's barking dog? This is a hound dog who barks incessantly all day long at the house kitty corner to ours. I've left a note at the residence about this and have called animal control when it continued, and he is still at it. I've tried closing up my house and running white noise in my office, but nothing seems to drown him out. It seems talking to them would be pointless at this juncture as they hav ...
