My husband and I sold our house and now we rent a 1 bedroom apartment in a beautiful area. I was really beginning to like it here. One day while in the common area, one of our neighbors introduced herself. Before I knew it she was knocking on our door every day. Either asking me if she could borrow some sugar, asking if she could use the phone (her cell phone wasn’t working), did I have a cigarette, it was always something. She lives directly below us and can hear us walking around. Just minutes after my feet hit the floor in the morning she is knocking on our door. I gave her my telephone number, and a hint to call before coming over, (a big pet peeve of mine), however, now all she does is call and call. The last time I talked with her she told me about her Methadone and heroin use, and that she acquired Hepatitis C through dirty needles. She said she also takes Demerol, and Xanax and that she could not own a gun because she's a felon. I have never seen so many red flags go up in all my life! I ran her name through the county database and found that she did in fact have a criminal record. She had 2 or 3 breaking and entering, 2 larceny, a wrongful discharge of a firearm, assault and battery, distribution of a #4 controlled substance, (whatever that is), along with marijuana, and probation violation. She has traffic coming and going at her place at all hours of the day and night. The problem is she is not even discreet about it. They pull up, beep their horn and she runs outside. She said SWAT came in last year and broke up a meth lab downstairs. WHAT? She says they still come by and monitor this building. If that is true why aren't they doing anything about her? And to think, I actually did my homework before moving in here. Guess I left out a few things?? She said what a nice place my husband and I have, and I for one would like to keep it that way. My husband has a really good job, and we have worked really hard for what we have. I don't want her putting us in harm's way. Considering we live so close, and are probably already in harms way, how do I politely tell her to back off? My husband works 90% of the time, so I am usually the one dealing with her. However I have not spoken a word to her in 4 days, ever since I found out. I would just like to be free to come and go from my apartment again, without having to move to do so. Any advice?
