I have been renting this house for 3 summers now, the people downstairs ( 2 level house) have been there for 10 years. They never watch their kids when they are playing outside, (we live in the woods,) and every time my 2 yr. old son wants to play I have to watch my downstairs tenants little girl.

Putting that aside, 2 months after I moved in I had company come over and help decorate my outside front porch for halloween at 2 in the afternoon, my downstairs neighbor came outside to tell me his daughter was sleeping, then another time his teenage boy called my son a very insulting curse word.

Another time the husband downstairs at a local party told me that he can hear me and my husband in bed, he has yelled at my 10 yr old son because my son looked through his living room window waiting for their 7 yr old to come out to play.

Last he really upset me. I never have company, never use my porch late at night, it is the summer time and I had company late Sunday night from a birthday for my daughter that lingered. We were whispering, had no music on and the following night we again went to sit outside at 11:45 p.m. and whispering again and he was walking around my side of the house 20 minutes later saying how it's the 2nd night in a row! Seriously!

In 3 summers I've had company 2 nights in a row ouside on my side of the house at 11:45 at night! I am a mom, a business owner and a Catholic, what damage could I possibly be causing?

He was banging on my wall at 9:30 on a Friday night because my niece and daughter were dancing above his living room - a Friday night at 9:30!!

I am pissed off that I have to walk around and watch my steps, with this guy, he thinks he owns this house and he doesn't, should I complain to the landlord or the police?

You can complain to the landlord but chances are he's going to turn a deaf ear. And as for the police, they can't do anything about it unless there is for instance loud stereo playing after 11PM. Apparently the guy downstairs thinks he owns the place and you are an interloper into his territory. Best to just ignore this guy or find another place to live.

And as far as your 2 year old goes, you should be watching him as 2 year olds can easily get hurt by other children. So what if the other guy's little girl is out there? Do you want to risk the chance of her hurting you little son if he is alone? I wouldn't give her that chance.

Also if you live on the second floor how could he pound on your WALL? Physically I think that would be impossible. Floor, yes, wall no.

Some of those Ukranians can be quite spiteful and he feels he has prime seniority over you. If your landlord is Ukrainian then you stand zero chance of him listening to you. Might want to move and avoid any further situations.

2 summers? Do you only live there in the summers or do you live there year round ?

1. so don't watch their child, if you do, it is because you agree. If they allow their children to run wild, that is their choice.

2.So their daughter was sleeping, you keep putting up things and ignore them??

3. yes teenage boys and kids will curse or even fight sometimes and be best friends the next days, great for parents to not get involved unless it is leading or going bad over time.

If your 10 year old looked in my window, he may have heard more of those curse words, I assume you punished him for this behavior also?

If you are outside at 11:45, I may have issues also, I go to sleep at 10 to 11.

And yes, most likely he can hear you having sex, if you have it to any normal level of adults in love. Your kids most likely hear it down the hall and if you are having a great time, the people in the house next door may. I would hope you have it that good sometimes.

But the issue is, so he complains, the issue here is you care and you don't just ignore him.

What are you going to report ? He is not doing anything wrong, he has the right to complain about any and everything you do if he wants.
You have the right to ignore him and do what you want, as long as it is not distrubing the peace.

Depending on how loud you are at almost midnight may be a issue.

I have been here for 3 summers now, the people downstairs ( 2level house) has been there for 10 years. Hello venus:

So, you CHOOSE to return every summer... How about CHOOSING someplace else next summer?
