The best way to get a neighbor to stop borrowing and asking for your time is to counter what she do. Have a plan. Have in mind something to borrow in return that will be hard to say yes to. Example; If she ask to borrow your lawn mower, ask to borrow her car ( you heard a knocking sound in your car engine and it worries you). If she/he wants to borrow a cup of sugar ask to use her mobile phone and talk on it for as long as you can. Remember the trick is to ask for things at least 3 times more valuable than what she is asking for. After a while she will avoid asking for things because she can't afford to do so. Also, she will start avoiding you like the plague.

Keep calling the police. Call the apartment management. Talk to neighbors. Maybe you could start a neighborhood group that will agree to go together and hang out on the front porch all together to make these guys uncomfortable. Call some Christian rehab people! That'll get 'em!! Don't give up. Too many people give up and the drugs and prostitution takes over good neighborhoods. This is especially bad when there are children in the area, as they are susceptible to influences.

I had this same problem a few years ago.  I would call the office and they would tell me what I wanted to hear and then do absolutely nothing about it.  I called the police on several occasions, but it would only stop the noise temporarily.  Finally, after a very long night of noise until 4 in the morning, and after calling the office night number, and after the office manager told me she would personally come over anytime night or day and then didn't, I called the office manager the next day and asked for the phone number for the corporate offices of the apartment complex.  This got her scared enough to take action.  She knew this had been an ongoing problem, over a year, and that she had not done a thing about it and if I called the corporate offices, ie her boss, she would be in serious trouble.  The people upstairs from me were gone by the end of the week!  Call the office of your complex, ask for the office manager and tell him or her you want the number to their corporate offices, or whoever is their immediate supervisor.  Don't ask for it, DEMAND IT!  There is no reason you should have to put up with that, you pay rent and live there, too.

Come on, is it that serious with your neighbor's past time?\nOr did he puff all the 20 sticks in one go?\nHow much smoke can be blown into your house from 1 stick?\nHe has his rights too\nWhy not get a barrister and evict him from your neighborhood

Oh my, you seem to be a very nice person, almost to the point of dysfunctional.  A bit of assertiveness would help you out quite a bit b/c I bet it's not just an annoying neighbor you have a hard time saying no too.\n\nFirst, it's necessary for you to learn to meet your own needs.  "NO" is a big part of this concept.  You do not have to be rude or lie but you will have to practice.\n\nMary, while I'd love to visit, I am bogged down today, so we'll save this for another time.  Thanks  for understanding.  \n\nMary, I hear your frustrations, but let's keep this conversation on a pleasant note, shall we?  \n\nMary, at times I do enjoy our visits, but I must insist that you call first to check if I'm busy with the children.  You'll do that for me won't you?\n\nSo give it some practice and good luck.\n\nPeace.

If I understand, it is your tenants that are making the noise?  I think partially it is your responsibility to let your tenants know this type of behavior will not be tolerated. I don't know that you can really make an impact now though. In the future, maybe put something in the lease about noise violations.  The neighbors need to call the police though and register a complaint.  If the law comes several times, the tenants will begin to get the idea.  Good luck with that.

this may seem little to you but in reality it is a big issue. if i were you i would make a police report about it, this is an invasion of your privacy and if they are watching your every move then, they are crazy and you need to tell the police and relocate. Clearly his motives are not of good nature.

Bring his behavior to your HOA's attention & also explain he's affecting the community marketability. Also here's a link with tips that helps in dealing w/problematic neighbors. http://www.peoples-law.org/misc/neighborhood_disputes/solving_disputes.htm

Start out by reporting her for disturbing the peace. Do it every time she starts screaming at you. If they won't come out and do anything about it, this is what you do. Go to the Police Dept during regular business hours and file a complaint regarding lack of response on your problem. Tell them that you feel threatened by this woman. Keep a journal of every time you call and everything she does. Write down dates and times for everything. After you have several calls down and several incidents recorded, go to your city or county courthouse and ask the clerk of court about filing for a protection order. A protection order says that she can no longer attempt to communicate with you in any way. She can still yell at your husband or guests, but not you. Once you are at that level, go to your apartment managers again with copies of all this information. Still can't get rid of her? Take your info to an attorney for civil matters. You may have a nice case for a lawsuit. You may also want to have your husband file for a protection order as well. Hopefully you get a good repsonse from the police and she starts getting tickets for disturbing the peace. Do you know her name? You can check with the county courthouse and get her criminal record if she has one. Check with them and see what they will charge you for the information. In my area it's ten dollars for anybody's info. Build up and save your evidence and you should see her going bye bye, before long. If I can be of any further assistance, let me know.
