In the USA? Perhaps you mean in California - that's the only state I can think of that might hold a land owner accountable for the actions of a renter. And this ain't California, it's Mississippi.

A landlord has a responsibility to make sure a problem tenant does not infringe on neighbor's ability to enjoy their own property, but a landlord is fairly limited in their ability to evict someone, which is ultimately their only means of enforcement. It's costly and lengthy and renters know this.

A landlord is not in possession of the property, a tenant is. If someone is doing something illegal, then call the police. If they are violating some ordinance or being a nuisance then the landlord has some responsibility to put the tenant on notice, but if the tenant doesn't comply they are still limited in their ability to actually do anything, at least until the tenant's lease is up. And in order to do anything yourself you would have to be able to prove the landlord knew of a correctable problem and did nothing.

About the only leverage someone would have in a case like this is to sue the landlord. That would have the potential to make the bad tenant more expensive to keep around than to evict... but who has the money for that? No lawyer is going to take that on for commission because there's no money in it.

Please do not think I am unsympathetic to your plight (I have had terrible neighbors, too.) , but I really cannot see any useful information about Mississippi from this thread so I am closing it for mod review.
