We have lived in the a duplex for approximately 1 1/2 years. Our direct neighbors (we are seperated by a common car port) moved in about 3 1/2 months after we did.
I initially attempted to at least become familiar with them. I introduced myself and made all the right noise about being good neighbors, etc.
Within the first week these people were here we started getting notes taped to our door concrning the amount of noise we produce, the hours we keep, and the fact that my wife and I smoke only outside our residence. Not smoking in our residence is a personal choice and not a condition of our rental agreement. The common car port is not enclosed.
The harrassment has become progressively worse including verbal and threatened phyiscal abuse and the county sherrif has been called on two occations by us and mutiple complaints have been made to the landlord. The landlord is of the opinion that we should all be able to get along. Of course they make all the right noises to the landlord and have made just enough reasonable sounding complaints to sound "normal".
The basic question I have is how can I get my landlord to take action against these people? As of the current date the neighbors have not done anything overtly illegle but I believe that the overall pattern of harrassment my be illegle.
Anyone have any direct information concerning this issue?
TIA
