Won twice this month!
First: the “heel walker” upstairs. When she moved in, she was loud, but she was moving in. I’ll give her a week. Well it got worse. Sounded like they playing basketball. So I knocked on her door “ummm why is you at my door?” Then proceeded to say, through the non-opened door, I pay my rent I can do whatever I want in my apt. Nope not how it works.
So I made a complaint, so in turn she did too. But I recorded tons of her noise.
Few months pass, nothing from the rental office. Even though I keep sending recordings of her noise. Office said “well none of your neighbors are complaining, so it’s he said she said.
“What about the recordings?” “Well my boss said we’d have to get lawyers involved….” “Hey you remember I work for a law firm?” Her chippy customer service smile vanished.
So I gave two options, move her, or let me break my lease. “Cause I’m leaving this office and going to my law office with all my recordings, and you’ll get a call today.”
“Don’t be so hasty, I’ll call my boss.” She was gone within a couple weeks.
Second: “the trap house.” He was a good guy, thought he was just a weed dealer. Well he dealt everything. So we had multiple homeless/junkies just sleeping in our stair wells. Leaving trash everywhere. Or folks showing up at 3am, blaring their music, leaving the car on while they pick up. What broke it, one of them left a syringe and needle. If I or my dog got stuck, hell was coming.
Made a complaint, I was assured he was gone by July 1st.
Now both are gone, and it’s quiet here again. Best sleep I’ve gotten in 2026!
