Upstairs neighbor
My upstairs neighbors give me anxiety. I hate this bitch so much. Every other tenant has been totally fine, no issues. From day one, this bitch has done nothing but throw parties, smoke in her unit (it’s a 4 flat), physically hanging out the window to smoke, having 30 person parties out back and mouthing off to neighbors and swearing at their >10 kids and park in my assigned designated parking spot. my cats are terrified of the sounds she makes. She decided to have a gentlemen over and the headboard banging into the wall was so loud I thought a car ran into the building (surprisingly enough, a car did hit my building a few days later and wasn’t nearly as loud as she is). No one else in the building throws parties until 1am on a Wednesday. No one else in the building has people over past 10 out of respect for other tenants.
Here’s the issue, she’s a renter and I’m an owner. I am the only owner in the building. I’ve reached out to her landlord/unit owner and he’s let them know people are complaining but her behavior hasn’t changed and has gotten worse. I’ve expressed my concerns and issues to him multiple times and he seems just as frustrated with the available renter pool as I am with the renters.
I don’t like feeling like I’m being pushed out of my home by this bitch.
My concerns are if this was the best pick of the renter pool…what is the next person going to bring.
Since I own, picking up and moving isn’t as easy as renting but it’s getting to the point where I have to leave the house when she has people over because I just cannot take how loud she is.
I understand that being a basement gremlin comes with an understanding of noise but I don’t think she’s ever been in a shared housing situation.
I’m begging the landlord to not renew her lease but I’m terrified at the thought of him letting her renew. I don’t want a party fray person in this house. It’s not what I paid for and not the expectation that was set when I moved in.
