we have a small dog, yaps at lawn mowers and some one a our door but is in b his kennel & quiet from 8pm to 8am.. I am stunned...we live a very quiet life. This guy came to our door and raged over the dog & kids, then phones us at 3:am and says he will continue every 15 min for the night. very intimidating. and no, neither the kids or the dog were excessive. this guy is 65 yrs old as are we. We have just moved here and his other comment was it was a nice place til you moved in and spoiled it???

That's called harrassment and stalking. Record the phone calls. Make sure to mention in the conversation what time it is. Call the cops, report him, and get a restraining/no contact order against him.

Call the police. You can have the calls traced by the police by dialing *57 in a lot of places (but don't use the feature unless you plan on having the police involved becasue they WILL BE) But usually retirement homes have bi-laws and constitutions so you should meet with your board if you do.
But this guy is a pure and utter ASShole so just tell him if he bothers you again in the middle of the night you are going to call the police.
You have been there longer than others and others will vouch for you.
Some people are just mean, mean, mean...tell him to move out or the next time he shows up at the door you will have a gun pointed in his face.
Take the phone off the hook or just block his calls. You can do that too you know. Call your phone company and find out how now that you have his number (do *69 next time he calls to get his number).
And if he DOES come pounding on your door...call the police and say someone is trying to break your door down and you think it's your "CRAZY" neighbour who has been getting more and more violent lately. Then fill the police in and get a restraining order if you need to.

tell him to leave you alone. life is too short to live life like that, all hateful and rude. unplug your phone until you get up in the morning if you have to. and if hes noisy again with his grandchildren and such, call over the main person over your "community" (which i have a feeling are apartments, which means youll have to go to the office or call to complain and they will go out and inspect the issue). maybe hes just cranky. maybe hes just found out he doesnt have that much longer to live. maybe his best friend used to live in your apartment and just recently moved or died. sounds like he has a grudge on you for some reason and it could possibly be because your in that certain apartment that someone else used to be in. could also be an ex girl friends apartment and she moved away from him. try talking to him first and see what the problem is. if he is still rude to you, then settle it with the community office.
you really dont know what makes people act the way they do. possibly its just more than the two of you, maybe it runs deeper to him than you think.

Tell him. Explain that you will keep your dog and your grandchildren will keep coming over. But you are willing to work with him to make the arrangement work. For example, maybe ask the kids to be quiter while outside. But you shouldn't have to get rid of your dog or cut off your visits with the kids. If he continues to be a problem then ignore him. If he calls the way he did that one night, call the cops.

Wow, this person sounds really out of control. I wouldn't try to reason with him directly, instead tell the management of the retirement home what is happening and that you need their help in dealing with him. They should step in because he must be breaking their rules by harassing you with the phone calls, etc. I hope everything works out well for you!

you should tell someone that is in charge and let them handle it. the guy sounds like his is a little off so you don't want to make him go off on you. he doesn't have the right to harrase you at all and that is exactly what he is doing. he sounds to me like he is a bitter old man also. but you should def. tell someone about it and maybe the person in charge can be a mediator for the both of you. if you try to confront him by your self it could only make matters worst.

change your phone number and tell him to buzz off.
