oops, sorry I came across that way, I understand what you said Chris.
i had a weird situation with my neighbor go on for YEARS intermittently.....he is an "older" man...somewhere between 55-60....insists on walking around outside with NO CLOTHES ON.....then in his house with the lights blazing and no shades...this went on EVERY weekend I was home....my bay window in the kitchen was covered with towels......I got fed UP and called the police. it doesn't happen anymore.
FYI....I work as a counselor with those people who sell drugs and commit crimes. In fact I work as the family counselor and try to work with women to help them get back into society and back with their kids. Yes, marijuana can be just as damaging to a person's life as anything else, but you are right, whatever she was referring to is probably more long the lines of crank or crack.
Something to keep in mind is that at one point even this woman was an innocent child and for whatever reason her life changed. Maybe it was poor role modeling, maybe it was peer group, maybe she is dually diagnosed and has a mental health diagnosis along with addiction (this is my forte). None-the-less, people can and do change everyday. Another caveat, I have been in recovery for 20 years.
Still, your life is being effected Irishgirl. Use the system, make calls to the PD. Call your landlord. Every state has tenant/landlord rights. Here is a link for Massachusetts: http://www.rentlaw.com/massachusettslandlord.htm Make complaints there.
Sorry I had to voice another side. I do agree with others though, you need to consider change.
Of course you shouldn't "have to move", but sometimes we just have to cut our losses and get ourselves out of bad situations. I feel for you. That would be a HARD decision to make, but your safety and peace of mind is worth something also....I think you should take the advice given by everyone, but also give it a time limit, like if things don't change by this date we are going to have to move.
Thank you everyone for your input Well Last night, the Detectives were finally at the 1st Tenants home. Our neighbor upstais heard the whole commotion, and we are certain he won't be there much longer. He told them that he is clean, and they told him that they know otherwise, and unless he wants to spend 2 1/2 years in jail he better cut it out. He then said " well my girlfriend got scared, and left me, and now I can't stay here" Well good, she obviously knew what was going on, and didn't want to be in that situation, and got out. Good for her!
We know too the Landlord was there yesturday to serve him with eviction papers via Sheriff.
As far as the other tenant, we were going to confront her again, and call the landlord, but we decided that we'd let it go, and if she does it again we can say to her " we let it go the last time, but now you've over done it, and we will be calling the police as well as the landlord" She won't last long either...and we and the other tenants can finally have a normal building.
Last night though we noticed her cat kept spraying all over her son's toys, and she's going to let him play with them!! Yuck!!!!!!!!!!
They were served with papers Friday night, and were all moved out by Sunday afternoon. We came home from Boston this weekend, and they were all gone..bub byes...we did however find out after they had moved that he was in jail for Rape with Force with a Minor...he had to register eventually....lovely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our nextdoor neighbor's were ticked they have a 13 year old daughter, and we all agree our Landlord screwed up bigtime with this!!!
Thank you everyone for help. As far as the girl who threaten me goes we are letting it ago if she does it again though that would be a very bad move on her part.
I understand you don't feel like you can afford to move.
Can you afford to stay?
Can you afford to lose sleep many nights, to worry about your health and safety, to live in a dump?
Of course it's not "fair" that you should have to move.
And now, a lesson from my late father: WHOEVER TOLD YOU LIFE WAS FAIR?

They moved a few weeks ago...so everything is better now...except for the slob girl who still lives there
We had a late night last night b/c of our idiot, rotten, disrespectful neighbor
We planted grass seed this weekend, where this tenant was parking her car on the lawn that is the only backyard the entire building has.
The parking lot holds up to 7 cars, and she still parks on the lawn, and she totally destroyed it. The landlord has told her numerous times not to park there, but she does anyways. So this past weekend my FI, and I bought all the materials, and we are trying to grow back the lawn, we did rope it off.
Last night at about 10:00 I noticed one of the stakes were what seemed to be "tipped over" I went downstairs, and upon inspection realized that 5 of the 9 stakes we had installed to block people from walking or ruining seed had been ripped out.
My FI and I and our neighbors who helped us with this project are all standing outside at this point 10:15 at night, and restaking..she comes out of her apartment with her girlfriend, and they immediately start laughing. My FI asks her "Do you know anything about these stakes" she giggles and says no..and she started to walk away at this point we were all FUMING!!! "Her girlfriend starts laughing and goes what are you guys doing looking for worms??" So my FI said "Uou know we did something nice for everyone and you have to go and do something like this, and try and ruin it??"...she then said "Well I didn't have a place to park and I accidentally clipped it" LIAR LIAR LIAR!!!! First and foremost, if she clipped ONE why didn't she put it back...secondly, if she did just clip it as she claimed how did they get thrown across the lawn??? All 5 that were pulled out we could tell were pulled out of the ground, and thrown...she and her girlfriend did it, and got caught red handed, tried to lie about it, and then made themselves look even dumber by lieing on top of that... what can I do about this..she is destructive, and just rotten. We put time and money into this only to have her ruin it??????
Irish, you can't afford to move, but can you afford to stay? I had a neighbor much like her, and we ended up coming to blows (I won ), but we all know that that isn't the way to go. I mean really, things like that get out of hand quickly. Some people just have no respect for themselves or their surroundings, and are ignorant to the point that they cannot be educated or reasoned with. Situations like this can and will start to wear on your health. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, who needs anything else? Find a way. Move. We had to or else I'd have been going upside my neighbor's head every other day !
Ladies I went ahead and merged the two threads here in LAWL about IrishTart's apartment/landlord/tenant stuff.
I am actually considering moving it to the general chatter part of the forum here soon if noone is opposed.
Thanks,

Irishtart???????? Have no idea who that is.... I konw who IrishGIRL is though....
Actually I don't have a problem with moving the thread I just wasn't sure where to put it where people would actually read it, and respond to it.
She defaulted on her rent for the umteenth time, so the landlord when my neighbors met with him last week, informed us she was leaving by the first of the month!!
ance: We are all so very happy, hopefully the Landlord screens the new tenant good, and we will have a nice new tenant in the building..
