Moving to a new neighborhood can be immensely nerve-wracking. There's a specific uncertainty that comes along with setting up your new living space, adapting to the social environment, and making a good impression on the neighbors you'll be living next to indefinitely. Finding just the right balance of kindness and assertiveness is the difference between being lovable and being a doormat. Of course, moving into a new environment means treading lightly (even if you want to get settled in as quickly as possible) because you never know what kind of people you'll be sharing fences with. You can be the best neighbor; keep noise levels low or bring them a freshly baked pie, and some neighbors will still not be satisfied, and throw you under the bus for things you didn't even do. Much like the sneaky neighbor in this story.
A woman is renting in an HOA community, and her neighbor has been living in the area with her five rescue dogs for several years. Upon meeting the neighbors, they admitted to the woman the dogs were not trained or socialized. Though admitting this to the woman, they believe the woman's three quiet, well-socialized dogs are the ones constantly barking at all times of the day. The woman has even recorded video evidence of the neighbor's dogs making copious amounts of noise, and given that there are five untrained animals on their premises, you would think this evidence would back the woman up. Nope. The neighbor went to both the HOA and the woman's rental company, and they believe that the noise, in fact, is coming from the woman's three reserved dogs. Other neighbors have suggested the two opposing groups work out a schedule so the noise is kept to a minimum. Absolutely bonkers. What would you do if you were in this situation? Petty payback, or talk to an attorney like OP?
