Neighbor Harassment Since Moving Here - Caught Him Spraying Something On My Door, Balcony Today (appropriate, issues)

[STT Resident]

OP, first you say you and your mother are definitely moving in two weeks when your lease is up, then you say you're scared you're going to be evicted and have no family to move to. You're not going to be evicted simply because you made a complaint against a neighbor and evictions take WAY longer than two weeks to be executed. You're getting all worked up about not a whole lot and need to calm down and see a doctor.

And maybe all the posters popping in with suggestions might pay attention to the fact that the OP has already decided on that move in two weeks time.

Screw her! Move out ASAP and don't give that POS another dime. If you want to know the truth, it sounds to me like you've moved into a known crack den and the kingpin lives next door. He also sounds ghetto, and it sounds like you are another ethnicity.

Get the f*** out of there. They are trying to get rid of you, you best leave before this escalates. I have no doubt the police is aware of the situation from how they acted, and he is probably holding the LL hostage.

Odd that you managed to find CD, Create an account, choose a user name, make your very first posts, give detailed explanations about your situation (including the detail that your mother snores) while becoming sicker and sicker and weaker and weaker.... yet not look up your local PD or Sheriff's office on-line and get help before you passed out on the floor. Odd as well that the PD didn't call the paramedics if you were getting sicker and sicker and weaker and weaker.

Hmmmmmm.......

Yes, it is curious. If something was sprayed, the PD should have found some residue to determine what was causing such a reaction.

Also, if the OP had a job there wouldn't be time to worry about what a neighbor says. Working enables people to buy a better quality of life.

How is the lease up in two weeks? The OP said in post #3 they have four months left on the lease.

Yes, I noted that shortly after writing. I think the escalating whirl of scaremongering derailed me as much as it seems to have derailed the OP.

The lease isn't up in 2 weeks. Just their patience.

OP I feel your pain. I too was harassed where I live by my building's Super. I too sought advice on a message board, not this one, that treated me as the problem and the only remedy advice offered is to move.

I think part of the reason these nut cases do these sort of things is because they know they'll get away with it (temporarily of course), true psychopaths know how to pull the wool over people's head by charming others and know when to hide the crazy. Over time they eventually slip and someone(s) will eventually see.

All I can say OP, thank God for technology. In the meantime get a hold of every recording device you can. Find out laws pertaining to your area as to recording without the other's knowledge first.

I also thank God for the officer who I spoke to in regards to my situation who took me seriously and helped as much as the law allowed and didn't brush me off as someone having some jacked up personal agenda, he was dumbfounded that my LL did next to nothing. My LL who did next to nothing regarding this Super didn't fight my request not to send this person for repairs, of course I didn't want him in my apartment.

Oh and I understand having a mother as yours, mine could be the same. I also dealt with my crazy Super spraying DW-40 into my a/c which would cause me to cough. I too either being too afraid, shell-shocked etc. in times I should have taken immediate action did nothing due to fear or lack of finances or energy, a lot due to PTSD. So I get it that you aren't rushing off to a doctor or looking up forensic teams to find out what he's spraying. I totally get it.

It helped finding out a little more about the laws and feeling empowered by those who helped support me. The fear started to wane. Oh and another thing, these types of fools feed off your fear so don't let them see it if you can. Although with the nut case I dealt with the more I ignored the more they did.

All the best to you and your mother.

She DOES have a job. She works from home.

I've been looking for a shelter for temporary stay to avoid conflict with my mother getting more pissed, etc. I should be out some time today. My mother can stay, but I'm getting out!

WOW, It's weird you wrote what you wrote as this is exactly what crossed my mind when the older lady kept making the neighbor out to be someone who does no wrong in her eyes. It just hit me that there's more than what meets the eye. She was too defensive. I mean, who puts a wasp sting which is totally avoidable by staying inside before dangerous chemicals that's getting another tenant extremely ill. Because if I get hospitalized, then not only does it come down to him and trouble but the apartment company for letting him do it.

The older male officer knew several people over here, including the office lady very well, which made me feel that he could have been trying to throw me off by making everything a joke--I guessed he may be in with them--a crooked officer.

She also mentioned her son was the one that notified her about the incident first. She didn't say what her son does, she just said he works with the police department. I was wondering how her son found out when he wasn't the one dispatched over here. Maybe all officers get the call, then pick who's going where.. don't know but that was strange to me.

The apartment lady was highly upset about me reporting the incident to the police first--saying it makes her and the apartment company look bad. They need to handle things there first before calling outside people (police). Again, I hope her crooked son or the other officer can't erase the records, because if I had went directly through her, she could have erased everything. Hoping I'm covered there.

She did appear a little disoriented. I tried making it being she was up in age though she could possibly be a crackhead.

The only thing that puzzled me was: The man does seem to truly care about his kids, so that's the only thing that made me rethink him being a dealer. I was thinking a loving father wouldn't bring those kind of people around his kids, but who knows.

Thanks all, again, I'm searching for a shelter right now so I can get myself out of here asap since my mother is being her normal, pushover self.
