Ford, just call the police, say you are disabled and are afraid for your life. don't sit there and be scared to death in your own home.

Yes, Mama Mia. Ford should not have to tolerate this. I think calling the police is the best thing to do as it will be documented.

This isn't just about noise anymore, imo, it's about a scary bully next door, I'd call the Police. :-(

Hanging pictures should not take more than a day or two. If this person has been doing this for 3 months they may find she's actually been demolishing the apartment! Goes to show that tolerating such behavior is never a good idea. And now she thinks poor Ford complained about her anyway so what good did being nice do her?

I would call the police and also leave a message for your manager. Maybe they have an emergency number, but if you feel you are in any danger - call the police!

I just called the Maintenance Emergency line . . . I am waiting for a response.

Okay Ford I am so sorry this is happening to you, but if this has gotten so bad that you are afraid, something must be done, but not by you. NO ONE has the right to intimidate another person like she is doing. I wish I was there as I would have no problem knocking on her door and letting her know what I think. She sounds like a bully and I have zero tolerance for bullies. My daughter was bullied because of her mental issues and I became an activist against bullying. This lady has to be stopped and only management can take the actions needed to do that, but in the meantime you need to lay low and stay out of her way. Hopefully you will get a call back soon from the maintenance line.

Let us know how this all turns out.

The old healthy me would have done this. But not the new almost 77-year-old fragile individual I have become.

Maintenance did call me back and he said he was going to call the Manager and they will decide what to do. I asked him to let me know and I hope he will.

I was wrong about the three months. She has been here for two months and the banging started very shortly afterward. Today it was definitely not "hanging pictures." It was anger, and very scary. Plus she has already been warned of possible eviction by the Manager, so it's definitely not normal behavior, not if she wants to continue living here.

As I said in a prior post, my daughter was talking to this woman's neighbor on the other side and she said the woman is "weird." I think she is probably the one who complained, as it was probably happening to her wall too.

Ford, this woman sounds like she's very unbalanced as someone else post. I'm hoping that management takes action and she moves for your sake.

Nobody can continue to live in those conditions and I'm glad to hear they have begun taking action.

I have never had any interaction with her at all, BCB. I have seen her and she is a big woman. Other neighbors have called her "weird." She may have dementia or is just plain crazy.

I am waiting to see what happens. I have not called my daughters about today's developments, as I do not want them worrying about this. I'm sure I am safe as long as I stay in my apartment. This is probably the weirdest thing I've ever experienced in the many places I have rented over the years.

Problem is, HisElk, I wonder how long it would take them to get her out! I would suppose if she is damaging the apartment (and I don't know how she could not be), they could get a court order to get her out right away, at least I hope so.

Ford I don't even live were you do and I am on edge over this mess you are in. I hope someone finally answers your call. To bad one of your daughters are not at your home with you. Take care and be safe. I don't think they can make her leave right at the moment they will maybe tell her she has so many days to find another place. but she could drag that out and say she can't find a place she can afford.

The maintenance guy did call me and he is aware of the situation with this woman. He said he would call the manager and they would decide what to do. That was about a half hour ago. I asked him to let me know what was going to happen and I hope they do. I have not heard back so far.

Thanks for your concern, cater. I think I'm safe as long as I stay in my apartment. I don't know if what she is doing qualifies as a criminal act or not. They may just think it's a "disturbance" which, if she is really mentally ill, could be a danger not only to me but to anyone else living here.
