My fiance and I recently just moved into a side-by-side duplex. From the start it has been miserable living next to a bunch of ganster-like punks. Every time we think things cant get worse, they do. For instance, we pay $60 in parking monthly while they pay nothing in parking because they have no cars. However, when they decide to throw huge parties, they allow their guests to park in the driveway blocking us in overnight and sometimes all day. We have started to park our cars at the end of the driveway to prevent anyone else from parking in OUR driveway THAT WE PAY FOR. The neighbor punk bitched about it and we told him that if his friend's were going to park in the driveway we pay for, then his friend's need to pay up. He agreed and what do you know: no one paid. So back to square one. Now this is just part of the situation. Their parties are out of hand. They have strange people over who potentially carry weapons and drugs. They play guitar hero and music extremely loud to the early hours of the morning-so loud we can hear word for word in our bedroom at night. Then everyone smokes in that side of the duplex. The scent drifts through to our half and our home smells. Not to mention we can barely open the windows in the summer because the smoke comes in even more. We are unsure what to do next. The landlord seems too careless to take action. The next step may be calling the police department but we are afraid they will retaliate. We just want to get out of this place! AND we have 8 months left in our lease!
