What should we do about an annoying neighbor who calls the cops on us once a week??

Question

So my husband and i and our two kids moved into an apartment near my husbands job to save gas..our two kids are 2 and 1 years old. we havent even been here for a month and our neighbor who lives alone (he's divorced) has complained twice to us and called the cops twice on us. each time the cops showed up they have said we werent even loud. he has complained that my kids are loud and cry all the time and that our tv is on really loud when its not. there was a night when he came knocking on our door and told my husband that he had called the cops several times on the family that lived in our apartment before us. and when they yelled at him to leave them alone he refused to. i couldnt believe he admitted this..WHAT DO YOU DO??

Answer 1

He sounds like a trouble maker. I would have a talk with the landlord about him. I know it would be alot of trouble but maybe they could let you move to another apt. at the same complex. Its worth a try.

Answer 2

how about asking what the problem is...and see if you can correct it..loud to you may be different..

Answer 3

You need to do what my husband's ex wife did to us when we were getting married....

Call the county health department and tell them he has an STD. They will come to his house and if he refuses to go get tested, they will physically drag him down there....

Answer 4

Try having a conversation with him.

Have him over your house while your kids are on their best behavior. Let him know that he should calm down and that kids are kids.

Also, let him know that you and your family will not be moving anytime soon and if he has a problem, he should stop bothering the police and talk to you about it or move.

Answer 5

say something to your complex...and let them know what they are doing.  

Answer 6

I think you should report him to the police station.  

Answer 7

1. Talk to the apartment manager.

2. Call the police yourself and tell them what is going on.

Answer 8

Call the cops on him, and complain that he is harrasing you.

Answer 9

go out of your way for him just abit more to show you care and if he still calls the police then f*** him

if he stops complaining then start having little conversations with him or even just smile at him. i think hes lonely and upset with his divorce try to imagine you in his shoes. x

Answer 10

Arrange a meeting with your neighbor to discuss this issue, and see if you could work it out with them.

Answer 11

Call the cops and charge him with harassment;  get a tresspass warrant on him so he cannot come on property. Talk to your landlord and explain, talk to the police as they will cite him if he call friviously. Some people are weird like that. You can also sue him in civil court, that may get his attention. Get that tresspass warrant so next time he appears at door, you can have him arrested. He needs to me taught a lesson. Talking to him does not appear to work. He seems like he has some issues. Also, you can call the landlord and explain that this is a hostile place to live and you hold him responsible for the guy and whatever happens and will also have to follow through legally against the landlord. He has to reign this guy in.

Answer 12

Tell him to get a life and leave you and your family alone. It looks like he does that on purpose. You know how the saying goes. Misery loves company! That's why he's probably divorced.
