Call the police or move. As a landlord if the two groups can't get along or cause issues that are going to make other tenants move, I would look to move both groups along. I do not try to figure out he said she said drama. In most cases both parties play a role. --24.61.xxx.xx

There's always the possibility of some noise issues when you are living in multi family housing. If you can't tolerate the issue any longer then you should move when your lease term is up. Please make sure you follow the proper notice provisions with your current lease.

You may want to find a single family home to rent. Good luck. --174.229.x.xx

Unless its a Staged fight and Tickets are Sold,

most Domestic situations involve One person

fighting / arguing while the other person is trying to

Defend themselves.

In the 60's - 70's a good POP in the Mouth usually

took care of it.

If your the Defender, it will only get worse.

Start Packing, unless you wanna go the other route. --71.13.xx.xxx

You pretty much have to move. I am a landlord now but I was a tenant earlier in my life.

If a downstairs tenant was verbally abusing me I would send a letter to the landlord telling him or her of the situation and that I was going to move. Maybe the landlord has a reason to tell the downstairs to move out and would tell them to move rather than lose you.

But start looking for another place. It's verbal abuse now but I would be fearful of people like that. So start looking today either on Craig's List or your local newspaper. --73.33.xxx.xxx

Stephen, I’m a homeowner and I was being verbally abused by my next door neighbor, also a homeowner. She was horrible. In her 50’s, 60’s? So twice my age and would be drunk stumbling around at night muttering to herself. Her driveway was below my bedroom window. She would belittle me outside. Yell at me, even got to the point that she was videotaping me leaving my driveway in my car with her iPad. After a year of this, I grew tired and called cops to file report for harassment. Cops said they would talk to her (which they did) but could not charge her unless she threatened to kill me. It was a majorly horrible situation. She was even yelling at my 7 & 8 year old kids. I grew to really hate her. I tried talking to her like a sane person and got no where also. My advice to you is that whatever this person has against you, it will not stop. Your landlord won’t be able to stop it and cops won’t either. You have to choose to live thru it or move. In my situation the lady FINALLY moved. I could have had a party it was so relieving. --173.26.xxx.xx

Shrug... if I have tenants who can't get along, I get rid of both of them. That way I get the guilty party for sure.

I am not going to referee between 2 immature individuals who haven't grown up enough so they know how to behave. --174.216.xx.xxx

Stephen,

Happy to help.

As a LL I cannot convince people to be nice.

Some people are just nasty.

And yes, aside from making friends or "killing them with kindness" your options are to endure or move.

I suggest you talk to your LL about your concerns. There is a possibility this angry person might already be planning to move out or is being evicted, saving you the trouble of leaving.

Read your lease so you understand the rules about moving out.

BRAD

Ever consider having a beer with them and seeing what is one their mind. Perhaps you are doing something they believe needs improving and they are not expressing themselves that well.

Please note that a beer summit works best when you only partake in one beer --24.101.xxx.xxx
