We live in a Condo. My husband, me and our son. We have been her for almost two years now. It's his moms. She has owned it for over 20 years. We are quite people, we dont have parties, we are in our 30's and we both work.

Going back to before we even moved in here it all started. We met the devil from upstairs. We heard about her before we moved in. That she tried to kill herself here and she was a recovering alcoholic, she has 3 grown children, is divorced and in her 50's. One day when my pregnant self and my husband were moving stuff into the building she comes downstairs and knocks on our door. We r eating lunch and my back is turned to the door, my husband answers it. All of a sudden I hear this loud crazy voice. "What's all the banging noise, u are making to much noise, I have a headache and I have court early in the morning". Its also at about 1 in the afternoon when this happens. My husband calmly tells her we are moving in. Boy she did not seem happy. So then she says well that's to bad this place has been empty for long long it was nice and quite", then she saw I was pregnant and did not seem happy. But my husband was nice and she left. Then as we are moving in she is having her boyfriend and son constantly parking in our assigned parking spots. Now her kids dont live here, just visit once in a while. We got sick of it so we called the cops. That's when it all started. She attack us one day outside while we were moving stuff in. Yelling like a crazy person.

Now ever since then any noise we make at normal hours she calls the cops on use, she has done it at least 20 times since we have been here. She mainly calls on weekends and holidays. She mostly calls cops our son when he is just playing around. She has called the cops on me vacuuming, doing litter boxes and moving stuff from basement or garage, ANYTHING. Doing any of this of corse makes noise. But it's all during the day during normal hours. By 8:30 at night this place is quite after baby is alseep. This lady has cleaners here every Wednesday at 7am making tuns of noise. She constantly stomps when she walks, she has had contractors working here all weekend banging away. See she can make all this noise but if we make normal everyday noise we get the cops called. It's so embarrassing. I'm I'm pretty fed up with it. These places were also not built very well so u hear everything. You dont hear the side neighbors because of the fire walls but u can hear everything above u. She is just nuts and is acting like we r having very loud parties. My husband's tells the cops if he wants to put up sheet rock during this time he can. And it's true. Anyone have any ideas on what we can do about her. My husband is going to our lawyer to see if there is anything we can do. We can't live our lives here. We have to walk on eggshells because of this Julia monster upstairs

Get a restraining order? Is there a Condo board? If she keeps calling for no reason she can be charged with abusing 911

I lived in a condo for 10 years and had my fare share of ridiculous neighbors. Get a hold of the president of the home owners association (your mil might have to since she owns the place) and start making reports that she is calling the police during normal hours where you're permitted to make noise. There should be hours specifically stated in the bylaws of times you are permitted to make noise. Let the home owners association deal with her. They will most likely fine her and they can even put a lien on her unit for breaking rules.

She sounds like an awful human being. I hate people that think the world revolves around them. I hope you guys can do something about it, maybe even get her evicted..idk but she deserves what she has coming.

You shouldn't have to move because of her.

Exactly what pp said. My mom used to work for property management, and had to deal with similar situations. Definitely go to board meetings for the HOA. Contact them. They will help you take the steps to deal with her. Here in California, the cops would laugh at her and rarely show up. She sounds ridiculous. I hated condo life..So sorry you and your family deals with people like her. Good luck!

We have talked to the condo association they can't do anything. Also they want a lot of proof. The association also said we should have no contact with her. My husband was supposed to go to court with her but the association said it's all just normal noise and whatever. Also when we first moved in, her and her boyfriend were living here together and they would be up all hours of the night stomping around and fighting loudly waking up my newborn at the time and I was trying to get sleep. We called the cops on them a few times. But for the past 6 months or so she and he are not here that much. She is trying to sell or rent this place. But she is asking for way to much. I think for rent she wants 2,200 a month which is nuts. I also forgot to mention one time I was getting back from the store with my son and she was outside in her garage on her phone, she saw me pull in and as soon as I got my son out of the car she went off about us to the person on the phone with her, saying we were rednecks and horrible noisey neighbors. It was so hard to hold back everything I wanted to give her. So basically in the end the association is not helping us. And they also know this lady is a crazy bar, but she is making our life a living hell. And ur right @holah she is an awful human being, that's what I say about her all the time. I just don't get this woman. She has had it out for us before we even moved in and YES she think the world revolves around her. These have been my exact words

Oh and my MIL does nothing about it either. She is such a help lol. Also I don't know if we can go the the condo association meetings. We don't own the place, does that matter?
