What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Louisiana
My neighbor wakes me frequently when she comes home at 1 or 2 in the morning by stomping up the stairs (which are next to my bedroom,) talking (sometimes yelling loudly) with her friends and slamming the door. She is also extremely loud when in her apartment. Back in October around 10pm, I went over and asked - politely - if she could hold it down. She said if 'you want to study this early you need to go to the library.'
This has been going on for months now and my landlords have not been very helpful. They make excuses for her such as 'she's young' or 'she doesn't realize how loud she is.' This week my neighbor called to see if I could park on the street and let her have the one parking spot on the driveway because her car is big and it's hard to park on the street. I told her I'd make her a deal, if she could keep the noise down, I'd give her the spot. Her response 'I already told you, I'm not going to do that.'
When I parked in the spot the next day she banged on my door to yell at me for being inconsiderate. I parked there again the next day and she and her friends came stomping up the stairs yelling 'How do you like that Carrie?? How do you like that you F*****G B***H?!!!'
I've decided I'm not going to ignore it and be nice anymore. What can I do though? I am drafting a letter to give both my landlords and her, but what exactly should I write? I want it to maybe scare her into being quiet or scare the landlords in requesting she be quiet. Is it correct to say I will bring a private nuisance law suit if this doesn't stop? Is her stomping and cursing considered harassment? My lease does state I am entitled to quiet enjoyment of my property so shouldn't I expect it??
Thanks in advance - and sorry so long. I did leave a lot out.
