What is the name of your state? California
I've posted regarding this once before. I have a 'stink contest' going on with my neighbor. I believe he is the stinker individual in this contest and I did not pick my battle wisely getting involved but I am now neck-deep in it. He also was the cause, as it started because he and his family can't/wouldn't shut doors or dumpster lids or gates without slamming them (and I mean SLAMMING). And a lot of that occurs under my bedroom when I am asleep and during common-sense hours (ie, late at night, very early in the morning). There are many other annoyances he/they do but that was the start of it and he/they continue the rattling of the cage to this day.
I have lived in apartments for 22 years and have *never* complained about a neighbor before this. I do not believe anyone has ever complained about me before either. I was also a manager for two years in college and never had such problems.
Anyway. I have lived in the building for 10 years. He moved in three years ago. I received a temorpary restraining order this morning. It is nearly 95% lies. We have had words and we have cussed at each other before but that's about the extent of the truth in it. He's a "community service officer" and has actually made bald-faced lies in it. Not a slight shifting of the truth or misunderstanding of words. Complete bald-faced lies where he's fabricated events. I go to court at the end of this month and I am looking for two things from this forum, if anyone can provide them. First and foremost, an attorney to go to court with me, and hopefully one that is exceedingly competent yet financially reasonable. Two, any advice anyone would like to give me.
Thanks for reading through this and any help you can give.
