We live in a small 1br apt. on the 2nd floor and our neighbor lives right next to us so we share the same kitchen wall. She has called the police on us 4 times in 2 months. 1st time said our music was to loud be cause she can here it through the wall this was in the middle of the summer around 1pm. 2nd) she said we were slamming our kitchen cabinets and front door. 3rd) was I had my music up when I was mopping my floors and cleaning, I had the front door open doing my floors. 4th) was when we was preparing dinner and my husband was cutting up some homemade French fries wit an older manual French fry cutter and it made some noise on the counter at the end of each potato cut. By the 4the potatoes she was already pounding on the wall. So I went next door to let her know we were just cutting up potatoes. She started yelling and saying we were about knocking her glasses off the wall with all the banging. Since she was yelling I was not going to try to keep talking to her, my husband said we will just call the police I told him why I am sure she is going to already. A few minuets later we herd her music turn on and up after about 5 minuets she turned it off then approximately 20 minuets later we had the police at our door saying the got a complaint about us playing loud music and harassing our neighbor. Each time the police have come they have not seen anything wrong. We have told the police what happened and they say ok and then leave. The next day in the afternoon I went to talk to the manager and when I walked in she stated "could I please tell my husband to quit harassing our neighbor" I said what? I was the one that went over and talked to her; he didn't even come to the door or say anything to her. He does not even talk to her if he sees her coming he walks inside don't say a word to her so how is he harassing her? The manager said she can here him through the walls. I said that is not true we are not going to waste our time bitching about her. The manager said if she keeps complaining she can evict us. How is this when we haven't done anything wrong? We have tried talking to her she starts yelling, then after that it is every little thing she starts beating on the wall. Now she is just out right lying to the manager and police. We do not complain about her dogs barking a lot during the day every time someone walks by on the walkway when she is gone, or when she comes in drunk 2-3am in the morning and starts making so much noise it wakes us up. Our neighbor on the other side of us has never complained nor has the neighbor that lives right below us. And we ask them a lot if we are being too loud and each time they say no.
I now feel that she is just doing this to harass us. Is there anything I can do So we do not get evicted? And can I file harassment charges on her? to have her stop calling the police they have more important & serious things to take care of with there time.
Thank you for you time and help in this matter.
