Neighbour From Hell Part 2
We’ve been away for a week and come back to a raw egg through the postbox.
It’s hard to not assume it’s her-next-door’s doing.
Although she hasn’t actually made any noise either of the two nights we’ve had back here she has managed to irritate us enormously. Not the egg, that’s just pre-school and wasn’t even particularly good.
She spoke to one of our lodgers as she was coming in.
Apparently she said something along the lines of “Tell him to stop ringing the landlord and trying to get me evicted, it’s not going to work.”
Truth is, we only called the management company because she never responded to knocking on her wall or door neither at the time nor during the day. While we would now like her to leave, that wasn’t our aim when calling the management company, and it was their decision after hearing from various other neighbours too.
She also apparently apologised to my lodger about the paint splashes on the door, and that apology was (misguidedly) accepted.
What really pisses me off is that I have to behave decently, with manners and simple courtesy, while she gets to do whatever the hell she likes.
The management company has told me that they have to do everything by the book (fair enough), but that means that her eviction notice will not expire until the end of June(!) and that she can then be taken to court (meaning another wait for a court-date).
