Greeting!
I have enjoyed reading the forum for a long time, never thought of posting until now and here is the situation…
My wife and I along with our 10 weeks old puppy live in an apartment complex in Orlando, FL. My wife is Canadian, recently moved here, since she is still waiting for her work permit and SSN she stays home while I work during the day.
The problem is our neighbors downstairs. Two guys and a girl live there. About a month and half ago we start hearing loud scream in the middle of the night at random. This will go on all night until early morning. Finally one night I decided to call the apartment security patrol, but by the time he got here they have already quiet down. And the next night they call the patrol on us while we were sleeping just to avenge.
Two weeks ago we welcomed our new family member, an 8 week old black lab we named her XiYo (Cantonese for soy sauce). We walk her as frequent as possible, just as earlier yesterday evening. As we were coming back to the apartment I noticed one of our neighbors was peeking through the door. As soon as we got to the bottom of the stairs which is directly infront of the door, it swan open and there he is standing in the door way completely naked.
I called the police, but since there is no evidence, no cooperating witnesses there is nothing they can do. Our apartment management sucks and I expect them to do nothing as usual.
What I worry about is that if he dares to do this with me around my wife, what would he do with her alone?
I love my wife, but she is a pacifist and I am the complete opposite. She can’t carry (see above about being a Canadian), and most likely won’t ever carry and I am a CCWer. She believes that if I ignore them they will stop bugging us (we argued, I am sleeping in the guest bedroom tonight). I know this situation doesn’t warrant firearm intervention, but I know they will not stop, especially if they know they can get away with it since this is not the first time we have trouble with them.
Please help me out here. I thought of maybe a hidden camera, but worry if it would be legal, since anything outside of my door isn’t my property. Pepper spray? If he is standing inside his door way flashing my wife, would it be legal? I have already contacted my lawyer trying to get out of my lease, but since we do not have enough evidence to fear for our safety as the management put it, I don’t think that will happen.
Any idea would be welcome.
