I wasn't sure where to put this as I am new to the forum. I looked at all the different sections for about 5 minutes and landed here. Moderators feel free to move this to a more appropriate forum if this is not the right place.
There are so many moving parts to this situation, many of you will likely make some assumptions and come to some conclusions that are incorrect. First off, this is a condominium, not an apartment. So no apartment manager or anything like that. There is a Homeowners Association that is responsible for enforcing rules of the community and they are besieged with so many complaints they rarely solve problems other than when the roof blows off and stuff like that.
I just don't have time to go into all the details. I am going to have to sell this place to some other unwitting individual. I got a good deal on it, and this obviously why, so I will give the next buyer a good deal. I guess that is another issue altogether of whether it is ethical to sell this place to another without informing them of this situation. I have owned the place for 3 years but only started living here full time a few months ago. I was on the road driving a truck so was only here about 5 days a month before. When I saw this neighbor praying then, I thought this is good. A little more public and in your face than I would prefer, but much better than all other possibilities that come with neighbors.
Then one day I tried to introduce myself and she gave me a mean look and walked on. Another day she called me an idiot. Then, "there you go and your stupid dog," when I was walking my dog. A lot of these condos in this general area are empty and I think this is the reason. Some people are gone most of the time like I used to be, but it seems some have just abandoned ship. Part of the rules here are that you are not allowed to rent. This is an owner-occupied property.
And the prayers outside are not the only thing. The noise continues indoors with constant loud praise and worship music which she leaves on when she goes to work. She works as a dishwasher at a restaurant next door. So in order for me to sleep I have to use earplugs and static wind noise coming from my speakers. Otherwise I like praise and worship music.
I could write a book on everything that has occurred over this. When I knocked on her door to tell her about the noise she called the police and said I was harassing her. I went to the restaurant next door where she works and had the waiter take a note back to her asking her to please turn off her stereo when she goes to work. She called the police and said I had been stalking her as if it was an ongoing situation. The police are familiar with her, but of course they had to check everything out and I was afraid I might be arrested. They said I need to call them on her she is making noise so I did that. They banged on her door for 10 minutes and she would not answer. They are supposedly sending her a summons to appear in court and I would have to go testify against her.
I do not want to be responsible for sending this woman into the mental health system. I found out her daughter owns this property and I don't know how to contact her. So I am writing here to vent I guess as much as anything. I don't use or sell drugs, and I don't think there are any drug dealers in this complex.
