Q&A: Dealing with bad neighbor in condo complex?
Question by janehart21: Dealing with bad neighbor in condo complex?
I’m at a loss regarding my neighbor in my condo complex. We both own our properties, so moving to another location is not easily done.
He lives on the floor below me and regularly blares music in the wee hours of the morning, always during the work week. He used to fight with his girlfriend, screaming and cursing at her, but they recently broke up. He now screams at, well, nothing. Last night after blaring music from 2-3 a.m., he turned the music off, starting screaming about gays, then said “Wake up, neighbor. Wake up.” I’m fairly certain he is on drugs when he’s doing this, so knocking on his door really isn’t a good idea for me.
I’ve called the police on him three times in a couple months, but it doesn’t stop. The condo management company says they can’t do anything (apparently they fined him several times, but the problems continued.)
Any thoughts on anything else I can do, besides keep calling the police? The building is quiet and safe otherwise.

There should be laws protecting you from this type of harrassment. You have filed complaints with the police and the condo association informed they have sent him complaints as well. You either demand that they do something about the disruptive tenant, or move. There is no other choice for you unless you intend on having a confrontation with the neighbor. Thank you, good luck, and GOD bless.
