we have a bad neighbor we live in a an apt bldg and our downstairs guy
a single guy in his late 50s who lived here as a kid and moved away and then moved back a year or 2 ago
he would call us and complain about noise when we were all asleep
so i got a new bed and frame and it seemed to go away
then as we had more kids he complains about noise all the time
called cursing on the phone would always say it was me not the kids
as my kids are handicaped and he dosnt wana look like a jerk that he is
he would call at 7 pm or so and i was like listen were just living here not making excess noise so he comes to the door several times one time brings our building secuity sayin im banging on the floor well there was a guy 1 floor up renovating and i heard the banging we all go up there ring his bell and hes got a hammer and tool belt im like there u go leave me alone
so next he calls the town and complains im running a biz in the apt and wants to get me evicted
we take him to court i had called cops every time he called me i change my phone # he bangs on the ceiling etc etc
court wouldnt hear it 1st we went for mediation he agreed not to bother us
lasted a month or 2 he started again i tried to leave him alone
one day he called dyfs childrens welfare on us said kids were yelled at and hit they investiagted and left we took him back to court they sent us to mediation again he stayed away for a few again
then he passses me at the door and yells and spits on me so i called cops
and filed assault charges on him finaly the court hears it i had to get a lawyer as right before court he filed on me bogus charges of harasment so the prosocuter cant get involded and we both get our own lawyers
then we go to court my lawyer gets his to have him agree to a no contact order finaly wich we both have to have on us so he cant bother us under penalty of jail but i have the same on me so if he lies and files on me i can get arrested but all the evidince an paper work is on my side and the same judge would see it for what it is but i could get screwed by a new judge who decided to blelieve him owell
come this month he moved to the 5th and top floor so hes got no one over him and hopefully he goes away or drops dead
good luck
