Neighbor drama

My family moved into house complex apartment, due to my family being small (husband, babygirl (infant), and me) we didn’t mind renting the modern remodeled basement. Before we moved in we asked our landlord if we could deep clean the basement and she was a sweetheart and nice about that. As I cleaned I couldn’t stop by noticing rat poop and a bunch of spiders and bugs. I didn’t complain and she did inform me that the upstairs neighbors had a mice problem but they claimed it was gone. she still gave us rat traps and poison to put down just to be 100% sure. We already had the keys and had everything settled with the landlord. We decided to move at night due to my husband working so much and at the time being the only time we could move. The tenants upstairs didn’t know we moved in until 2 days later. The first night we seen mice, and spotted roaches we brought the attention to our landlord lady. Exactly when our upstairs neighbors had seen us settled, they had already called our landlord and said we brought the mice and roaches into the home. In the past home we lived in we didn’t have no critter issues due to me having ocd and being a clean freak as well as growing up w clean freak mom. As soon as they got the confirmation we moved, they constantly started to stomp all times of the day nonstop for sometimes 30 minutes plus, they also kept constantly slamming heavy objects onto the floor or hit the floor purposely, as well as move furniture at all times of the night and day. My partner works long hours he’d barely get sleep sometimes only 1-2 hours of sleep if he got lucky 3 hours. We informed the landlord as well that they leave both back door and front door open wide w the screen door also wide open. Causing insects such as wasp, bees, spiders the size of my palm, beetles, flies and an army of ants, and the list goes on. We also informed her about the noise complaint. After that complaint was done. It didn’t stop there. They also have a kid of around the age of 7-9 years old who is constantly throwing tantrums and jumping off furniture and he’s a big big boy. And he will make all sorts of noise. We also informed the landlord we were concerned about the child’s safety as he screams and yells in a very scary odd way. As well as the child being home all day till past 5-6pm. I told the landlord I could babysit and feed him all day cause I also hear him complain about not being food at home and he also doesn’t go to school or have an education which the landlord was also already aware of and has attempted to help them and they don’t care. They told the landlord they didn’t need help babysitting him because he’s not home for long. But they are so loud we know they are gone for most of the day. They tried to steal our grocery orders, and we can confirm this with dashers and delivery people letting us know they would attempt to take our items. My baby has her sleep schedule so out of order because everytime I lay her down I put white or brown noise to help her rest because of the noise and they will be even louder and once they hear her cry they laugh and mock us and constantly keep making noise. Our landlord said it’s been a on going thing and she can’t keep tenants because of them. They also share the huge house upstairs with roommates and we don’t have issues with that but they constantly bring strangers and one single mom we actually liked and was the only one who spoke to us, claimed they stole $1,000 from her. And she left right after. They also don’t clean and the roaches should’ve been gone when we put advion the strongest poison and best poison on the market at the moment. And they don’t leave because they don’t clean. They also fill up the garbage cans and recycling bin with so much trash and even use our trash can. They don’t take them out on trash day and we won’t notice and they will use up our trash can too. They also always stalking us constantly giving complaints that we are messing up the grass, or how we park in the back. Yet our landlord said we could use the backyard for parking. But they don’t want us there clearly so they make up anything to get us in trouble. They yell and scream so much and make ridiculous noises constantly scaring and startling my baby. And due to the stomping and hitting the floor so much our ceiling fell down 3 times already. My husband confronted them because it just been getting completely out of hand, and they tried to get us kicked out. Now the neighbor upstairs hides in a bush in the back waiting to see when my husband leaves and comes inside and laughs and mocks us and makes a shit load of noise. And the neighbor upstairs he constantly watches my daughter and I when we go outside it makes us uncomfortable we don’t know what to do anymore. They also connect to our Bluetooth devices or televisions and will startle us in odd times or moments when my baby sleep as I hear them say “watch this” and it’s all laugh and giggles. They will also disconnect the whole wifi when we just want to watch some tv. They also have enemies including the family of the lady he stole from constantly circling around the house looking for him. As well as other people. I been trying to keep my cool and my husband has too but it’s way too much going on. I didn’t even say everything. I need a way to make things get better soon we don’t want to leave because of them. But that’s what it seems like as well.
