How do I deal with a constantly complaining neighbor?

2017-05-24 8:51 am
My upstairs neighbor is always complaining to the office about something. Once she went as far as to lie and say our dogs were barking non stop from 3-7 pm, when I was home all day long and they were asleep. They barked maybe once. Another time she complained because I took showers too late and it woke her up (I get off at 10 pm and I usually take like 5 minutes showers when I get off that late). Another time she complained because there were "too many chairs on my patio". She s even said something about my vacuuming my living room at NOON before. Our office is very annoyed with her. They told her that she can t make anymore complaints and now she s actually approaching us to tell us about our noise. We literally can t live without her saying SOMETHING to us. I haven t vacuumed my house in a week because I m scared she s gonna say something about the noise. It s ridiculous. Quiet hours are from 10pm until 6am. How can I get this to stop?!

The office has dealt with people like her before....obsessive complainers who would complain about their own shadow if they could. It's pretty clear that they've reached their limit. If she continues to verbalize to you about issues that exist only in HER MIND, I'd be inclined to reply in a neutral tone that everyday life involves sounds, and your sounds are not excessive, and just walk away.

Ignore her and respect the quiet hours and never do something for bore her ( on purpose). Just live normally.

Then apparently, the office knows how this person overreact, from what you said: '' Our office is very annoyed with her ''.
If she wanted seriously to make a complaint against you, so she would need proofs and make the police come when ' you are ' making noise(s).
Given that you don't do that, nothing can be proven! See?

There's not much you can do, except move. You can't control what she says, or does. I would ignore her, and live my life, and advise her to do the same.

Don't you dare be bullied into submission and refrain from vacuuming your home. Live YOUR life as you see fit and as long as you are abiding by the quiet time hours, then your neighbor will just have to deal with it.

You must realize that this woman is irrational. Anyone who complains about vacuuming at noon must have a few screws loose. You need not cower as a result of her behavior.

Good, the office is fed up with her.

Go about your normal day and live your life, while ignoring that woman. If she continues to be irrational and approaches you, then report her to the office. Maybe she will move!!!

Record every incident.
Tell the office about the harassment.
Tell her to complain to the office.
Get a lawyer to send her a letter telling her to leave you alone.
Be aware she might be mentally unbalanced.

Every time she complains, write it down and once a month or so, present it to the management/landlord. Also every time she complains, tell her you don't have time for it, that She NEEDS to tell the management (which I guess she can not now), so she should eventually stop. Also tell the management in advance of the problem she is causing you, they may try to evict her or at least stop her from bothering you. You could even tell her in advance, that unless she stops bothering you, that SHE MAY BE EVICTED!!

i have a neighbour through garden. her dog was barking all day because it pees inside so they just throw it outside and it sits there bored out of its wits. when i complained to her her answer was "my dog doesn't bark". so when u say that your dogs don't bark i somehow have difficulties to believe u. and barking dog is very, very, very annoying. not for u because u own them and u re used to their constant noise, but for other people. and of course if she is annoyed by your dogs' constant barking she will complain about everything u do that they evict u. my suggestion -. buy your dogs a special collar or get rid of them. problem solved
