Post: Indirect Harassment?

Posted by Liz on 5/22/06
I don't know if there is something I could do about a neighbor harassing me through my landlord? I rent a house and for some reason or another a neighbor (who lives about 5 houses away, across the street) always complains to our landlord about loud noise coming from my house. We do have musical instruments in the garage and practice sometimes, but only during the day (reasonable hours) and not late at night. They also complain to our landlord if there are cars parked along the public street or if we have guests over. Because of all these frivolous complaints to our landlord we have refrained from having people over, playing music, etc... Just last week our next door neighbors had a party with live music and they still called our landlord saying that it was us. This really upset me because now everytime our neighbors have a gathering, they are going to blame it on us too. Our landlord has threatened to terminate our tenancy because of the same neighbor calling and complaining on us. I don't know what to do anymore, but I know I want this neighbor to leave me alone and stop harassing us by calling our landlord. I feel like a prisoner in my home not being able to do things I enjoy. Is there any actions I can take to make them stop?
