The situation of the neighbor who thinks you are making noise is identical to the problem I am facing. I have lived in my condo for almost 20 years. About 8 month ago a woman moved in below me and she has been harassing me about my making too much noise. Like the commentor has said, I only make the noise of daily living such as walking from room to room. this woman has called the police on me, has made a complaint and requested a Mediation Hearing which I had to attend twice and there was no resolution because it was her word against mine. She claims I follow her around her apartment from room to room, (she is below me and I can't hear where she is), intentionally stomping my feet to to torment her. Like the writer of the post this could not be further from the truth. I have never had any complaints from anyone who lived in her apartment before. She is so angry at me, she scares me. Last night as I was leaving my condo she throughs open her window and starts screaming at me telling me that I am still making too much noise and it is worse than ever. I try to reason with her on a rational level in a calm voice that this is what she thinks is happening but it is just not true. I live alone and am very quiet and now I can't walk around in my home because she becomes crazy. At first it was annoying, now it is frightening. Whenever she approaches me she is so angry that I am afraid that she is going to harm me. I know going to the police won't help because they don't do anything until a crime is commited. I am really afraid that this woman is going to hurt or even kill me. What can I do. I can't move, I own my unit and altlhough she only rents I know she will not even consider moving. What began as a situation which annoyed and made me angry has become as situation where I am scared to death. Can someone help me?
