Hey all, I (22 f, first time renter) have no idea if this is the right place for this but i’m not sure where else to go.
My boyfriend and I moved into our rented bungalow about a year and a half ago. For the first full year of our lease, there was a young working guy living downstairs. No problems whatsoever, was super respectful and we all were super friendly - never had any issues.
In August, he had moved out and a couple in their early-mid forties moved in to the basement with their chihuahua. They seemed friendly at first, but shortly after things got super bad. We hear them at all hours (genuinely, we’re confused when they even sleep??) absolutely screaming at each other. They smash things, hit things, slam doors. She is also incoherent half of the time, which led us to believe it was a drug or alcohol problem.
Last week, my partner and I started to smell smoke in our apartment around 8pm. We checked around our place and didn’t find anything, and during this process we noticed a light amount of foggy smoke filling the room. He ran downstairs to see if everything was okay, to find smoke absolutely billowing out of their door. He called to them with no answer, then opened the door. He found a pot of food on the stove burnt to a crisp, and them passed out on the couch across the room. Our fire alarm upstairs went off, theirs didn’t. Also worth mentioning they’re heavy smokers who most definitely smoke downstairs.
Yesterday, she locked him out of the main door and he came around to our backyard (not shared, it’s a huge glass door that shows essentially our entire apartment upstairs) and knocked frantically (during my work day) asking me to open the door for him. They ended up screaming at each other and I had to mute myself through an entire work meeting.
Flash forward to this morning, it’s 5am. They were screaming and banging things all night (and all week almost daily), and we think the man moved out. I’m sitting at my desk which is right beside our shared front door, and I hear her stumble up the stairs. She’s talking gibberish and moaning, then begins to call people. Loud, like echoes through our whole (like 800sq ft) main floor, she’s talking about how she sold a bunch of things for coke, about her dealer, about how she was beat, and then screaming and swearing about her phone “not stopping the buttons”.
Our property management company doesn’t care. We called about the fire multiple times and they didn’t even call back. I’m VERY uncomfy with conflict but my boyfriend doesn’t care, but i don’t know if this warrants phoning the police? I just want to feel comfortable in my own house again.
TLDR: Coke addicted downstairs neighbours constantly screaming and banging things. Unsure what to do.
