Living in an apartment complex can bring its own set of challenges, especially when dealing with a mix of neighbors. Things get even trickier when some neighbors seem to ignore the rules and show little consideration for others.
That's exactly what happened to this Redditor. She got along well with her neighbors until a new couple moved in about a year ago. They made a lot of noise at all hours. OP tried to talk to them nicely about it, but they didn't take it well and got defensive. Therefore, she went to the apartment manager and filed a complaint. As a result, the couple got fined $500 due to several complaints. But now, the couple is upset with OP, saying her actions have put them in a tight spot financially. As the other neighbors continue to deal with the noise, OP is left wondering if she did the right thing by reporting them. Scroll down to read the full story!
