 M¢25  Funded By Mahalo ? |  October 29, 2009 04:45 AM

What are my options regarding a very unreasonable next door tenent in my apartment complex in MN?

am a 60 y/o disabled woman who contracted for a 1 year lease in a 55+ apartment complex in a rural town in MN. The next door male renter has on more than 1 ocassion demanded that I not play my Television from the hours of 10 PM to 8 AM even though my I have perfect hearing and a TV with poor quality speakers is set very low. The previous renter of my apartment left after a short time when the same renter complained about his TV. Now this gentleman indicates that he can hear every word I say even when I am not talking. Last evening he stopped my non-tenent niece outside and compained rudely to her regarding what he percieves to be a noise issue. He indicates that he can hear every word spoken in my apartment and that he wants quiet during the hours noted above.

I am at a loss and refuse to be a prisoner in my own home while being a model tenent. I left a voice message for the landlord and would like to gather all the advice I can regarding my rights. Please understand that the TV is not loud even as noted by the onsite manager. Converstation is held in normal or low tones during the night.

If the landlord is unable to accomodate me, what are my options?

Thanks,
Stephanie

Just continue going about your day. There are plenty of poor 'ol buggers that want everyone in the world to revolve around them and bow down to their every whim. You are not breaking the law. You are not being discourteous. This complaintant needs to find a remedy of his/her own in order to deal with what they deem an unpleasantry. EARPLUGS ANYONE? C'mon, with a little common sense, this could be solved. The 'ol bugger just wants to show who's sheriff in town and claim a sense of seniority for living there before you. Don't you budge a bit to accomodate, and make sure your landlord is privy to everything this person does to harass or threaten you! I hope it doesnt come to this, but if you feel you may need a camera to capture evidence of mistreatment, harassment, or vandalizing of your property, there are plenty of places to find them on the web. I recommend 007-protection.com very highly. Hope this helps.
