If you have supporting documentation against noisy neighbor & they're now complaining about you slamming your front door, can this be a hindrance?

I own my downstairs condo & have been complaining about the tenant above me that’s been renting for about two years. 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). 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. 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). Today she approached me for the second time, asking me to stop slamming my front door(not the retaliation I previously mentioned). I cursed and she closed her door before I could say anything then opened her door again & I shut her up & she left again.

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 don't see the point in closing my front door mindfully, i'm frustrated hence she's continuing to play her tv loud everyday even though police knocked on her door recently & her landlord said he would talk to her. Assuming she doesn't have documentation of me being noisy intentionally & has only complained about me slamming my front door, would the committee frown upon slamming doors in comparison to the reports I have of her?

Every time I read another chapter in this sage, I think "I'm REALLY glad I'm not on the board and having to deal with this ish!"

At this point I might be inclined to lock you, the tenant and the landlord in a room, lock the door and say "We're going to handle this like the Catholic Church does when it elects a new pope - you don't come out until you fix this and every day, the amount of food you get will be reduced to where you're only getting water and bread!"

As Melissa said, no one can predict how anyone will react to your case - prepare the thing as best you can, make your case, then sit down, listen to the other side and let the board make a decision. And start thinking of what you might settle for (e.g. maybe the landlord can install soundproofing in that unit). A compromise is possible - it may be you simply don't want to accept that possibility. Unfortunately, we don't always get what we want, and in this case, I suspect you really want - to get rid of the tenant. Even if that happened, who's to say you won't start on the next one?

Soundproofing isn’t an option on the landlords side. He replaced the carpeting when the last tenant moved out and he didn’t soundproof it because the hoa indicated the carpeting was enough to meet code.

As in im not taking the necessary steps? What else can I do from my end beside legal action? There is nothing else or someone would have suggested it by now

Go to therapy. You are obsessed with this woman and have been stalking and harassing her for years. You are paranoid. I’ve also seen your posts on Reddit and it’s very clear that you have issues. You are not behaving rationally. Get help before a court orders you to.

I’m assuming here but I’m hoping police reports and security reports stand out more vs her just complaining about me slamming doors. It isn’t a fair comparison, slamming a door a few times a day isn’t as consistent as hearing someone’s tv play loudly or hearing guests for hours at a time

It is sad and pathetic at this point. I can no longer keep repeating myself. Plus I am pretty sure they keep posting the same thing over and over again as if going to get a different answer. It then always turns into a ??? Situation. I have other things to pay attention to

Let the HOA do it's job. After that live with the answer or move. No one is interested anymore

I agree. Though I'd rather ask questions than, say, just accuse someone outright of lying. The latter seems to happen a lot here.

The issue that comes up for me in threads with an OP like this person is: "What sort of online response might actually help the person posting?"

Just saying: Here in the sandbox, I think the greatest likelihood of actually helping is going to come from either (a) responding calmly, concisely and substantively to the person's concerns; or (2) maybe via a mix of people playing good cop and bad cop.

It is sad. Never a good idea to approach a problem with retaliation. Be a mature person and realize that you are part of the problem and need to STOP. Take the high road and maybe the neighbor will follow suit. She may be extra noisy because of your reaction to the noise. Some people just want to be miserable and make others miserable too.

Yeah? I think you two bringing gossip from another forum (the ridiculous reddit) to hoatalk says more about your characters than it does the OP's.

Augustine Al's refuses to recognize that this is the same poster who has posted this same issue on here multiple times. All giving the same story over and over again except leaving out previous statements.

Look it up. This is the same poster you said it was not. It is just they keep re phrasing the question as if no one would recognize them.

The poster claiming to be involved in multiple lawsuits is JaneL2.
