Is there anything I can do about my crazy neighbor??
I am not sure if this is right board to post this on, but its kind of money related...so here goes.
I have a crazy neighbor. Like yelling at herself, throwing temper tantrums in the middle of the street when no one else is there....crazy.
Recently, she started sending us hate mail. With the hate mail is an invoice for money she claims we owe her (we don't). She follows me when I walk my dog, screaming at me, swearing, crying,etc. Yelling that I am ruining her life...because my walking my dog makes her dog bark (he barks 24/7 anyway) and then the neighbors that live next to her (I live on the other side of the street) call her and complain (her dog is very large and barks outside from 4AM until 11PM) about the noise. She runs a business out of her house and complains that because my dog (who rarely barks at anything and then only one or two barks) is running around my securely fenced yard within sight of her dog who continues his barking, thus ruining her business.
So, now she is threatening to sue me for this money and has had her lawyer send me a nasty letter. The issue with the money is this, when we first moved here (before I knew she was nuts), I built her a website for her business. She paid me for this, now she has created an invoice for the exact same amount claiming that she "loaned" me the money and that the website was a gift.
It is driving me absolutely nuts. I've tried ignoring the hate mail. I've sent her a letter demanding that she stop contacting me, etc. She is spreading rumors about my husband and I....trying to get him fired and trying to get us kicked out of the place we are renting.
Is there anything I can do?
Re: Is there anything I can do about my crazy neighbor??
Yeah, like a PP said, I think I would be looking into a restraining order.
Do you have an HOA in the area? You could call them about the noisy dog- or you could even file a noise complaint with the police office when he is very noisy early in the morning or late in the evening.
Don't have much advice for this one, other than to say I'm sorry you are dealing with this. She does sound like a particular brand of crazy.
I was thinking this as well. But I agree it is important for her to check laws in her state. I would also caution to try to be discreet as she may become hostile if she realizes she is being taped. No telling what someone like this is capable of. I would do my best to document her behavior, but try not to provoke her if at all possible.
