I own my downstairs condo & have been complaining about the tenant above me that’s been renting for about two years. You all have made light of my situation but I’m getting more and more documentation that I think is more likely to work against her. Beginning of March this year, the mgmt office sent a hearing notice to her, allowing her to plea her case. Depending on results, they’ll fine (or won’t fine) the owner (her landlord). Since this notice was sent, the hearing committee has confirmed a date with the office as to when hearing will take place on 5/27. So far I have 3 reports, two with security documenting her being a nuisance and I had police come by. The police knocked on her door and I have documentation proving she’s doing it out of spite (video proving she’s keeping tv on when not home and camera footage confirming she’s not home at time of recording). The Mgr suggested that I shouldn’t attend the hearing to avoid any kind of confrontation with the tenant. But I have more documentation outside of 3 recent reports that hopefully work against her and I really want to give my side of the story. Last time, the Mgr warned me again that a hearing does not guarantee a fine and wanted to set that expectation. When I told him about police report, his tone changed and he said this can help. The hearing makes decision but I think my documentation is better than hers. I was frustrated before because there was no resolution I took matters into my own hands to get even but she hasn’t complained (the security/police/HOA mgr would have told me). Assuming she has recordings of what I did, I have third party witnesses along with my own documentation. I’m not using any kind of retaliation until after hearing, I don’t want anything too recent to be used against me, mind you I’m not the one being potentially fined and I’m on my best behavior while she continues to be an inconsiderate prick.
I decided to call her landlord yesterday because I found it odd that after she got the first warning last yr and the hearing notice recently, he wouldn’t have tried to give her any kind of warning. The last time I spoke to him was almost 2 years ago when the last tenant moved out and he replaced the carpeting, I haven’t reached out to him since because his last words were there’s nothing else he can do. However, there were never any warnings sent to the last tenant, the office even said a hearing notice has never been sent for a noise violation this would be the first time. When I told the landlord this, he said he had no idea of any of these updates. Mind you, the office told me that owners are always copied on any communication that is sent to their tenant. He wanted all the documentation that I have sent to the office, their contact info (which he should already have) & would warn the tenant. When I told him about the hearing, he sounded kinda shocked & wanted more info. I find this to be odd, anyone agree with me?
