When I paid my rent today I mentioned to the owner's wife that my neighbors have been arguing a lot lately and can something be done about it. She said she would have her husband talk to them.

Well I came home and fell asleep on the couch and originally she was supposed to buy me a pizza from a pizza place here that has gluten free pizza but when I went outside to have a cigarette she said she wasn't going to buy one for me. So that let's me know the owner talked to her.

I was outside another time later on in the evening and she was outside and her boyfriend was inside and she was talking to him and she said in a real snide voice to him now don't raise your voice too loud.

I ended up writing her a letter explaining why I did what I did. I used a lot of I statements so hopefully things will get better. But right now I don't feel safe in my apartment because I am scared they will try something to me or to Tyger. He is allergic to cats so I don't think he would try to get to close to him but Tyger likes her and goes to her when she calls him so I am scared she would try to do something to him because she knows how important he is to me.

I have been praying for protection and I know that will help but I still don't feel safe.

Hi Jan ~ I'm sorry this has happened, but I don't blame you for saying something about the fighting ~ that gets mighty annoying to have to listen to that all the time!

Your poor cat wouldn't like it, but perhaps you'd better get a litter pan and keep him inside for awhile til things calm down. I think I would. He'll probably protest LOUDLY, but that's better than having him poisoned or worse. Cats learn quickly how to use the litter pan, so that wouldn't be a problem. Just take his paw and make him "dig" in it. He'll get the picture. lol

I hope things cool off and nothing happens. You shouldn't have to worry about your safety in your own home. I'll keep you in my prayers. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee

Well this afternoon after I got home and had taken a nap I stepped outside to have a smoke ( I don't smoke in my apartment) and she was outside so I said hello to her. If looks could kill I would be dead. I started to tell her about the good deals at Walmart on their clothes and she stopped me and said she was fine. I said I was just trying to be nice.

Well that blew up in my face, the next thing I knew she was yelling at me saying that the landlord was going to evict her. I apologized and said that was never my intent and then in the next sentence she said he said if he gets one more noise complaint against her she is evicted. I again apologized and said I'm sorry that wasn't my intent. She said that they get a long great and I stopped her and said 9 times out of 10 you are fighting and she said I know but we are doing good.

She then asked me if I was trying to drive him away. I said no that there must be some redeeming quality that I just don't see that she does. She then asked well don't you think he's cute? I said I guess so he's just not my type.

I then said they both needed help and that I could only do what I could which isn't much because I've got all my stuff to deal with.

When I told her she and her boyfriend needed professional help she said for me to tell him because he wouldn't listen to her.

So I think I am just going to stay away from them as much as possible and hope things around here get so unbearable for her she moves. I've been here 5 years she's been here 2 and I'm not going anywhere.

It can be so hard dealing with unruly neighbors. I think you did the right thing in complaining about them Jan. Some people just don't know how to care about those around them. You have every right to complain if you are hearing all the yelling and fighting. It doesn't make for a nice place to live when that happens all the time.

Hon, you don't have to apologize for anything to her. If the landlord stated one more complaint and he will evict her, then she is obviously a problem tenant and it's because of her actions, not yours hon. Don't let the fact that she shared that with you stop you from making a complaint if you have to. She doesn't seem to care about you or any other neighbor. It's all about her and her bf.
