Would these be reaons to move

[Duetsche_Doggen]

Fallen tree stump that's been before I moved in three weeks agao

My neighbor with complete and utter disregard for common courtesy blocking the only way for me get in and out. As you can see I'm in my truck.

The stump again to give you a a better idea of how close it is to me.

My neighbors with their "posse" that also block the only entrance/exit. Constantly an array of people venturing in and out

Taken from my back door of them blocking me in yet again......

I know I'd probably lose my mind, but then again I've become less tolerant of people the last couple of years.

Any chance you could have a peaceful talk with them and explain the parking issue?

 

[Smart_Family]

The stump wouldn't bother me but the parking would. I'd try to talk to them like akbull said.

 

[chuckorlando]

The stump would bother me more than the parking. Down here that stump will have a rattler nest in it with in a year likely. We lost a saint brenard to a rattler bite square on the nose. Poor things head swelled so large.

I'm looking for land for just this reason. Like AKbull, I aint all that friendly anymore. I will give just as much respect as I get back. Which with most good folks thats great. But it's those arse hats that really get me. I'm direct and dont like the dog walked on me. In this day and age folks like their reality to have sugar on top. I happen to be fresh out of sugar.

Be direct with both the parking issue and the landlord on both issues. Let the landlord know if it cant be fixed then you need to go. If that makes you uncomfortable be it confrontation period, or just with these type folks, then maybe moving out right is best. I would how ever talk to them before calling the man. I absolutly hate not having an issue brought to my attention before going over my head. But again, I would bend over back wards for a honest issue

Well that stump didn't used to bother me until I found out I'm walking right near a death trap. When the stump fell over it knocked out the wires that control the septic release to flow into the sewer. I also found out that the reason for the backup in the bathtub and toilet are because there is also a tree root in the pipes.

 

[Smart_Family]

Have you been able to talk to the landlord about the stump?

 

[Duetsche_Doggen]

I'm not good with confrontation and the neighbors are kind of obnoxious. When I was pulling a trailer for my stuff their friends were blocking the entrance to get in, luckily they were coming out of their portion and we asked them polite if they could move their vehicle. Well the guy ( that doens't live there) gives us a dirty look but moves his vehicle.

I've been living here for about three weeks now and it wasn't until I almost fish tailed in the mud trying to maneuver around their vehicle did they finally move it closer to their area. However their friends still block it with about 5 to 7 cars.

I'm convince common courtesy is dead and judging from what I've seen I'm not even going to try to talk to them. if they are might age which they might be or a little older it might do more harm than good.

This is the reason I didn't want live in apartment complex so I wouldn't have to deal with neighbors. I didn't think having one would be bad but from what I am dealing with its more like a complex.

I spoke to her about when I first moved it. She said she would get it removed but she was waiting on a contract. I didn't hear from her or about two weeks then inquired again and she told me she "won" a contract and that the stump should have been removed......

Dang. That sucks. I'm totally with you in being convinced common courtesy is dead. My year round neighbors aren't bad but the summer people are total jerks who don't care about anyone but themselves.

 

[chuckorlando]

Ah it aint dead. Just most folks who got it get wise and move out to the sticks. Yes ma'am, no sir, helping out the guy next door, thats what the world should be about. I got another want to be landscaper two houses down. He's gone to all 5 of my clients on our circle bad mouthing me trying to take my work.

What he dont know, I cut them all for free. hahahaha.

If you think the folks next door are jerks, I would leave. It simply wont get better if they really are. They may move their cars like they have to, but then they likely start doing other things just to stick it to you. Loud music, firing guns, fireworks, parties, reving cars. If the landlord aint willing to invest the 2-15k in the septic repairs, I would be gone anyways. Those fumes coming up through the drains aint good let alone the back up. I mean we all know what it is and I just went through it at my own house. It's nasty. Worse yet it aint even your nasty.....

THIS would get me gone before the obnoxious neighbor situation would.

 

[Duetsche_Doggen]

Chuck that is exactly what worries me, espespecially when summer hits if they allready have parties and cookouts on weeknights ( just had one this past sunday) I just have a feeling the holidays are going to be worse. Especially with the fireworks, drinking,

I wanted to move out to a rural area but there wasn't anything available and if so they wouldn't take Thor or the snake. This place was the best I could do.


Kelly my co-workers are telling me I'm too patient and nice, that I should bail. Mom says its too soon. I'm strapped for cash right now so I know moving anytime soon won't be an option but I have started looking.

 

[chuckorlando]

If you put down a deposit and all, that septic situation alone should be enough to break the lease and get that back. If they dont see eye to eye maybe have a letter sent stating the law(If it supports you)

 

[AKBull]

That's just rough... You'd think the neighbors would at least buy you flowers or something before they invited you to shower in their *bleep*.

Sorry, don't mean to make light of it.

 

[Duetsche_Doggen]

AKBull I never got that feeling at all. I try to be reasonable and patient, I do think it might be a bit to early to just jump ship after 3 weeks. These are only a few problems I have been having since I moved in. It just like every week goes by there is something else to be discovered.

I saw the stump before I moved in but I didn't find out about the other baggage until afterwards.

The PM lied to me about the neighbors she said that they were two gals my age, well its a guy and a girl ( with numerous other guys visiting). I also told her I was looking for a quiet area and although it is quiet noise wise there is a lot of people traffic in and out of my area. I told prospective landloards upfront what I was looking and that I wouldn't waste their time if they didn't have it. Greed is very powerful driving force.

I do tend to give a month or so before I choose until then I am looking up my state laws.

I'd be calling my landlord every couple of days over that septic situation. Not healthy at all. As far as the neighbors, I agree with Chuck. Be careful; a single person living alone can get into a lot of trouble when their neighbors don't like them or are pissed. I've been there; done that. And your big dog will only deter them to a point. Your other option is to try & make friends with them, maybe when they're outside try taking Thor for a walk. He's a great ice breaker, I'm sure. If you're kind of friendly with them, they might be more willing to work with you on the parking situation. My oldest daughter was very ill when she was 17, & we lived in a duplex where our neighbor used to throw loud parties almost every weekend. He was pretty obnoxious, until in desperation, I knocked on his door in the middle of the night & told him my very ill daughter couldn't sleep from the noise. He was always very solicitous after that. He just wasn't thinking that he had a neighbor that might have a different itinerary than him.

yeah it is kind of intimidating when you're a female on your own. I would try to find a way to make that work.

As for the stump situation, a government worker once told me...."the squeaky wheel gets the grease". It's a good motto to remember in times like these.

 

[chuckorlando]

One thing I would caution you on.... If for any reason you get on these folks bad side, I would'nt just let Thor out. My single biggest fear with pissed folks next door is them throwing something over the fence that may not be good. It aint that it happens often, but if it does there might not be a good solution.

 

[Duetsche_Doggen]

I haven't picked up any tension from the neighbors, the guy will speak the female will not. His friends will speak well some of them will. They made a few comments about Thor but no conversation pers say with me.

That is why I have not said anything, I know I have no advantages at all, even with Thor. There is no fenced yard so either I tether Thor to a tree or I walk him myself. I'm paranoid about poisons since I've known people who lost their animals. He's always with me.

Last night they had people over again.....that's what I don't like too many bodies so if something happens, I have not clue where to look.
