Hey ladies
I Am not shore what to do with this one and iam a little scared.
back in late October early November a new neighbour moved across from me as i live in a complex of 20 houses iam my mid 20s and she is in her late 30s right up until about a month and a half ago everything was fine she invited me and my son over for New Years as it was the first New Years that we spent without my mum so she wanted to be friendly and have us over for the start of a new year then about a month and a half ago she started to change and started to become a little nasty no-one in my house can walk out my front door with out her say we are sticky beaks when we keep to ourselves the only thing that i can think of is the fact that she is jealous of what I have she is a single mother with 3kids under 9 and they are out of control she has no partner and the father of her kids is not on the scene where I have one child under 5 I have a partner and the father of my son is still on the scene and my child is well behaved I have done nothing wrong to here but be nice to her and stay out of her way and keep to my self and my house is one of a kind in the complex I feel as iam at a loss no one in my house can't even go out side without her knowing I don't want to go to the cops or the landlord of her house as it will only make things worse I just don't know what to do does any have any advice that would work

Actually I would either move or contact her property manager. She probably has psychological issues and is irrational. You won't be able to change this situation without outside help. Yes it may get worse initially but is it really an option to live like that in the long term.
It is my understanding that you can film them if they are doing these 'unsocial' acts to you. Whip out your phone or camera when she starts doing these things and start recording!! This is the advice I got from 'housing', and boy did it stop quickly!!!! And if it doesn't stop her, at least then you have the proof to take it further :) good luck X
I've been in a similar position, constantly harassed, didn't want to go to cops without proof, so when they started, whipped out my phone
They noticed, took my phone, assaulted me, called the cops on me for "filming them illegally", and I got a $500 fine for offensive behaviour in the mail, even though the film clearly showed it was them not me yelling, swearing, threatening, and physically attacking me, apparently I instigated it
Did you press charges yourself? Did you take it to court? Because You had the proof you needed and would have had the assault marks for more proof as well..
If it gets out of control, call the cops, if enough people complain, or if the cops are called enough times and she is causing trouble, apparently she can be evicted. I know as a mum, having a roof over my kids' head is my number one priority and ideally, the thought of her young children homeless is not a nice one, but I live in a quiet street and we had this lady with bipolar or some sort of mental illness move in over the road, and the cops had been to her place about three times in two weeks, first time I had seen them in my part of the street since I have lived here in 6 years. I actually rang my property manager as we shared the same real estate. She would sit on her front step and yell out obscenities at the top of her lungs and being a single mother of two young children, I was quite horrified, as she would do it late at night as well. She also came into my yard and my neighbours yards while we were out and that didn't sit well with me. My property manager had told me to document the the things she did in an email. As it turned out, she was evicted as I mentioned earlier, but your safety is very important. Do what you can to have it sorted, but make sure you have proof. Good luck.
I would go about my business I would acknowledge with a wave of you see her otherwise there is not much else you can do unless she become threatening
