We bought our house two years ago that is located on a court in a new sub division which is code for our houses are sitting on top of each other (we are so country bound as soon as I graduate, but....I digress). We LOVE all of our neighbors (even the ones that are a little cooky) except for one. They are the only renters on the court, not implying that renters are sub-par, careless or generally bad neighbors, just stating a fact.
*They have 5 kids of their own. They both work nights. The youngest is 8, oldest is 20. The 20 year old has friends over all hours of the day and night, plays loud music out of his car with his friends who are constantly speeding down the court with their music blaring. The only part that really irks me about that is the speeding, I can handle the music.
*They smoke weed at all hours of the day. It's either on the side of their house right by my backyard or in their garage with the door open or closed. I've seen the father smoking with them (the older son, the two daughters (16 and 15) and their 13 year old.
*I have to explain to my daughter why our court always smells like "skunk".
*My dogs bark when they are outside because they antagonize them through the fence.
*The younger daughter came over when we first moved in and stole my now 6 year olds necklaces, crayons and a barbie. DF confronted them about it and she did return them and apologize, said they were playing dress up, she forgot.
*All of the kids except the 8 year old (so far) smoke cigarettes out front with their parents.
*The last birthday party they had the cops were called because the dad ran down our naked and his daughter got in a fist fight with her girlfriend in the front yard.
*They leave their pitbull in the yard on a chain all day and night. When they happen to let it off it jump the fence and attacks the neighbors dogs (our dog and our neighbors dogs have both fallen victim, FI had to take a shovel and hit the pitt to get him off our dog.) The dog is a frequent flyer in the animal control sector.
*They now have 4 house guests. A cousin with a baby, they are taking care of a friends or sisters toddler (not sure on the back story there) and the daughters girlfriend is living with them.
*There are cars constantly in and out of the court that stop by the house momentarily. I can't prove they are selling weed, but I have an idea.
*The friend with the baby curses at the child telling it to "shut the f*** up" the baby is probably 8 months old and in a walker in the garage with the weed and cigarette smoke.
*I've asked them to not smoke weed so blatantly and I'd prefer it not to be on the side of the house we share. They ignored
*We've asked the friends to slow down. Ignored.
*We've told them that if the dog gets out we will call animal control and if he attacks anyone or our dogs we will press charges.
*We called the cops on the naked dad and fighting daughter.
*I called CPS regarding the baby.
*We no longer allow the younger one in our house
Do we have any options here, any good advice???? They are driving me bananas.
