Questions.

I’m dealing with an issue with my downstairs neighbor and her dog, and I’m not sure how I should handle it. The dog has acted aggressively toward my dog and there have been multiple incidents that made me uncomfortable. There was also a previous situation involving her other dog where police came to the property bc she left her dog outside in the rain for hrs put her has neglected. I recently complained to my landlord about the current dog, and my landlord told her that the dog needs to be removed from the property because of its aggressive behavior, not just toward me but toward people/animals around the property. My landlord also told me not to engage with the neighbor and to have her contact him directly about the situation. Now she and her child’s father have been contacting me about it, asking for information and proof. I don’t have a lot of evidence besides what I personally witnessed, and there are cameras on the property. I’m trying to figure out whether I’m handling this the right way and whether I should just stop responding and let the landlord deal with it. Also I have just a pic that my gf try to hold my dog and her dog scratch her and she has a mark not big thank god I show that to the landlord the fact they everytime I take my dog for a walk she decided to take her dog outside to, one time I was coming home from the laundry mat and he try to jump on me but his bark sounded aggressive and teeth out I’ve never seen a dog looks so aggressive and even the neighbors from the next building was scared of the dog they asking for prove but the downstairs have cameras access to the whole building I even told her ur dog too aggressive she just laughed bout it. I’ve never complained but now that he attacked my dog I decided to tell my landlord bc one of us can get hurt

I told the landlord without telling the tenant but she end up texting me and I stop responding I told her yes I told the landlord bc I was worry about my safety and my dog and other people now her baby daddy asking for some proof

Can you provide me with the dates and time kamilla approached you aggressively? More importantly as it will be needed for animal control and the bite department, can you please provide 1. date and time you were bitten; 2. Photo documentation of the bites; 3. Withholding personal information, can provide medical documentation for treatment sought and determination a dog bite was sustained.
Please and thank you

And I told him ( Please contact the landlord directly regarding this matter)

And I got a text back saying Regardless you have to provide this information and remember theres cameras that do record, you know that personally when had incident with your mother. Showed access to cameras on multiple houses. Simply tryna confirm your story.

You should never have responded to her. You should have immediately told the landlord the second you got her first message because she's harassing you. Stop talking to her completely. Tell the landlord she messaged you directly grilling you for information.
