New Neighbors Complaining About Me.I have lived in this apartment for four years. Top floor. The last three months no one lived on my floor (Four units per floor), buildings connect. I live in an outer unit. A week ago, a couple moved in diagonally across the hall. I saw them moving day and said hello. I let them use my reserved spot for easier move. That’s the thing to do right.

Yesterday, I was coming home from work and the apartment manager caught up to me said they had complained about me. 3 times by phone, once in a visit to the office, and two emails. I was a little shocked, I asked why and she said they told her I was smoking and smoking pot in the apartment and had people over a loud party.

This was not true. I smoke but not in my apartment. Never. And most of the time I vape (Not in the apartment) I suggested that maybe they were smelling it as I walked in. I assured her I wasn’t smoking. While I am the only neighbor on the floor, there are people below them and on the other side of their unit.

I felt bad, I went to bath and body and got some wall scents. Surely if my smoky body odor was making things smell, I would try to fix it. Until I walked from my apartment to see a huge tray of baking soda by the door. (Pic attached)

Today, not 24 hours later I went to the office with the pic to ask when the complaints were filed. Apparently daily, to which I showed the manager that I had been out of town three days and showed the hotel receipts. 3 of the 7 days they have lived there, I was not home.

She told me that a call and email to corporate came in that morning. Bringing the complaints to 9. The manager said she can’t figure out why they are doing this. Maintenance went to the apartment and couldn’t smell anything. They want to know when I am moving out.

Good lord, I am a grandmother of 12 and bother no one. I don’t have parties and I don’t smoke weed. I don’t even play the TV but an hour a day. I got a call AGAIN today at 430. Another complaint.

I told management this has to stop but maybe I am wrong. Any one have suggestions? I have been a renter for 30 years and never had this happen, ever.

**Update** Tuesday, so far no complaints but it’s still early yet and PM is at another site. Tomorrow is the inspection, I suspect (Hope) that will be the big end all and Corporate tells them to deal. I have spoken to my adult children, so they are now aware. Thank you and I will update tomorrow.
