Answer 1

i did something mean to my neighbor to get them out a few years ago. They were always up very late, very loud and our bedrooms shared a wall. I had to get up for work super early, so I would do this...

Turn off your answering machine
Turn up your phone ringer ALL THE WAY
Place phone against wall, in your case floor.

Call your home phone from your cell phone and let the damn thing ring and ring...forget about hanging it up for about 2 minutes. I would then hang up the call, give them just enough time to fall back asleep, about 10 minutes and do it again. Priceless

Ah, all the joys of apartment living, I remember it well!!! If you moved out and bought a house she wouldn't be your downstairs neighbor anymore! If that doesn't cut it for you, then walk loudly (stomping your feet deliberately), drop pots & pans, break old dishes & glassware (bought at yard sales or garage sales), have parties every weekend (telling your guests to also walk loudy, or to dance because you downstairs neighbor loves it), park your friend's cars in her parking spot(s), hang dirty laundry vertically on a clothesline outside so they are in front of all her windows to block her view. Oh, if she's on the ground floor, you can conveniently do all kinds of neat things to "tick her off" like throw eggs on her windows (don't forget the bacon ... grease), have ants come marching in her door two-by-two by accidentally spilling kool-aid all over her doorstep, hmmm did I forget any other pranks that might work?

My heart goes out to you. I was browsing the questions and saw this one and felt compelled to respond. There are not many other things worse than having a neighbor who is a pain-in-the-*** and disrupts your sense of peace at home.

I think it would be hard to get the party to move out. You could try making her life miserable but that would take so much energy out of you. You would be devoting too much of yourself to this person which you don't want. The idea is that you don't want to be thinking about the neighbor.

If this person is too much to bear, you have to have a heart to heart conversation with this person telling them how they are disrupting your life and offer solutions as to what they can do differently. You have to do this. You have to be nice about it but firm and honest about your feelings. Put the emphasis on how this all makes you feel and how you are affected. Don't accuse and don't call names. If you think the person is a 2-bit scumbag trailer-trash degenerate, don't say this. That's not what I mean by being honest. Approach it from the standpoint of that you hate confronting her but you feel like you are going crazy if you don't say something. And add positive notes about the person and what they've done throughout your conversation. Sometimes when you point out somebody's good points no matter how small, they appreciate it and will want to continue to be on your good side.

Hope this helps.
Nobody should go on and suffer by being bothered by a neighbor.

I can't wait to see you on CNN?

Just remember that escalading the situation can go really bad. Take conventional action through the landlord, housing authority or police.

Ever seen Duplex? War of the Roses? Madhouse?

My neighbors have domestic violence issues at 4:00 in the morning. I don't report them cause they don't report my pot smoking. Also, it's been going on for two years. The cops show up I'm sure she'd deny it, that happens all the time.

REMEMBER IF YOU END UP IN COURT, DOCUMENTS SPEAK LOUDER THAN TESTIMONY. GET WRITTEN RECORDS (even if you just start recording the dates and times of the incidences), Video, Audio, Photos, and also the written and signed testimony of other witnesses.

People never start doing that till it's to late. I like to go to court for fun, and have served on jury duty before (two years ago, civil suit involving a duplex). I serve again Monday for a criminal case.

Hang butric acid flybags off your patio railings. When my jerk off neighbor got my elderly dog impounded for nipping him when he was punching her over the fence, I bought 10 of them and hung them directly upwind of his hot tub and patio door. They are for attracting and killing flies, and they smell like a rotting corpse. I also bought some pink flamingos and a few gnomes, and I lined them up like a batallion facing his property. He hasnt caused me any trouble since, and in fact, he put up a 6 ft plank fence between our properties. I should also add, I put my horse corral and my compost heap upwind of his back door. I am not someone to be messed with. I made sure that everything i did was totally legal and within code. The code enforcement guy said that I was giving my neighbor a near stroke because he couldnt do anything about it.

Answer 6

Hate is a strong word.
I'd be careful about starting a turf war trying to get her to move out. Go through your landlord and make sure you document any violations.
She has as much right to be there as you do so no matter how much you dislike her its not a reason for her to move out. If you're not careful she may end up getting you kicked out.
I has a similar situation years ago and after numerous complaints the tenant got tired of the fines and hassle and moved out on their own accord. Be smart about it.

Answer 7

Play super duper loud music and stomp around at night!!

Nah, acually i think she will jusr call the cops

instead play one of those halloween tapes with people screaming in terror loudly at night, then yell "YOU CANT ESCAPE ME" and laugh evily. Next day go over to her house and politely ask if she by chance heard any noises comign from your house, and tell her that it is VERY important she doesnt say a word about it, after all we dont want anyone getting hurt, now do we?

She will be out in no time! :)

Answer 8

Somehow overload her apartment with those big, greasy cockroaches, be loud, stomp on the ground like every ten minutes especially at night, write up death threats and send them to her place making sure your involvement is scarce, intercept her mail and steal all the mailings that deal with the rent, or set her place on fire. Feel free to chose from the list.

Answer 9

Okay well if you hate her that bad then you should bake cookies (or a cake) and go down to her apartment. While you're in her house, *accidently* start a fire to burn her apartment forcing her to move out.

Answer 10

Turn up the stereo way up loud in the middle of the night.
