How to enforce condo rules (unleashed dogs/not scooping the poop)

thanks - I do think though this is going to increase her noise level to try to bother us. Last night, we got home about 8:00 and my husband went out to get my oldest at VBS, I heard that lady come home. I may be just have felt slightly oversensitive, but it sounded like she intentionally was walking all over above our livingroom and kitchen with heels loudly to get our reaction (as the meeting was to be in court the next day) - it was loud enough to get my dog barking where I had to calm him.

Basically I just ignored it and kept on with my stuff. I am a bit worried she will increase her noise - my opinion we will just go into the bedroom to avoid the noise.

That's great news.

Not great that she dragged your husband into the mess, but great that the judge dismissed her.

I worry about her during showings. Not to scare ya, especially since I have no advice.

Judges don't like being talked over.

She had enough rope, and she hung herself.

Yeah I do as well.

On the one hand it is in her best interest to shut up then as she will not have to deal with us. But on the other hand she really isn't too bright.

Not much I can do about it - other than hope she is out at the time.

Yep - stupid is as stupid does.

We knew to be as brief as possible after observing how the judge handled the other cases. Although he seemed to give a bit and allow each group to speak more than I would expect. I am sure we could have said nothing at all and he still would have said denied.

He was just giving us a chance, I'd think, to let him know we aren't a$$holes.

Funny - the first case, we actually knew the guy - he ump some of the softball games. He was accused as he got angry about not being paid for some football umpiring. From my perspective, it seemed there a misunderstanding on whether and when you would get paid - you wouldn't if they ended up not needing you as it seemed they asked for an extra most likely in case someone didn't show up.

The funny part was this ump got angry and wrote all these nasty emails about the guy to this contact list, swearing and crap. The judge said basically his hands were tied. The guy didn't threaten him and with his anger he should not ump, and what he did was wrong, but he didn't threaten.

I knew it would work out in your favor, Linkat. Thank goodness that's over with and I doubt that she will get another day in court, no matter how many restraining orders she wants. Let's hope you can sell your condo fast and be
out of there in a hurry.

Wherever you buy a house, please look at the neighbors carefully before you buy!

Well the thing is when we bought here, our neighbors were great. We got along well with them. Knowing we were living below them, they would tell us when they were having parties or people over on both sides above us. We had zero issues. This was for about for 10 years. Then they moved in about 3 years ago and it was been off and on bad. The husband is ok, but the wife is crazy b*tch. She basically wants to do whatever she wants whether it bothers others or is in violation of our condo docs.

Any hoot - my husband saw her chatting with some neighbors at the other end of the complex. He said probably telling them how we are harrassing her and crap - I said I don't care. And I don't care. She can yell scream etc. I am going to continue to simply ignore her.

Don't worry, those neighbors, if they don't already have her number, eventually will.

I'm thinking about what you said about getting along great with the old neighbors, but this one moving in and causing trouble. I think it's strange, and a sign of her mental status, that she, as a newcomer, was the one to get up in arms.

When I moved into my house, there was a really wacky neighbor, a couple of doors down, won't go into details. Even though she was just renting, when the situation got bad enough for me to go over to talk to her, I felt really unsure, since she was there first. I think that counts for something, and can count for a lot.

Yeah, I know what you mean - who was there first, etc. We have a little of that going on with the street parking We all have our spots and once in a while the cars are out of order due to a visitor and it's okay for a couple of days, but after that, people get a little twitchy about it

That's all you can do, Linkat. She has nothing to lose and you do, so it's a no-win situation if you get involved. Good for you.

Believe it or not - I feel a slight bit sorry for her (although she has brought it upon herself) - her husband is leaving her; she is obviously a miserable person with they way she acts. One time she actually had said not too long after she moved in - why doesn't anyone like me here? Most likely because you want to do anything you want without caring about your neighbors.

So we have a showing today - and our "neighbor" has left her disgusting flip flops out in front of her door all week (of course against condo rules - but she could care less).

I told my husband to pick them up prior to the showing and throw them back afterwards. I figured that is just the best way to deal with her crap.
