Full question:
I am being harassed by a neighbor who drinks very heavily. The police have been here 4 times. I have complained to the manager and owner and they say legally they can't do anything. The police told me I needed to address the problem with both parties and our manager said lawyer advised it was a civil matter. Last night she was served by the police and we are going to court. Shouldn't I be allowed the privilege of not being screamed vulgarities at every time she gets trashed. I have had witnesses but the manager says her hands are tied. What can I do? Last night I was threatened with bodily harm; at 65 I'm not much of a fighter.

Answer:
To address harassment and unsafe conditions, submit written complaints to your landlord. This creates documentation showing that they are aware of the situation. If moving is not an option, consider seeking a restraining order for your protection.
