Noisy Neighbors (updated)

My neighbors upstairs have been driving me absolutely insane lately. The guy stomps around cursing at his partner and calling her all sorts of vulgar and offensive names. I hear crashes and bangs that I believe could possibly be part of domestic violence, but there is no way to know for sure when you can't see it. I've called the police on two separate occasions because I figure that if I have any reasonable suspicion, it's my responsibility to give her the option to send his ass to jail. Nothing has resulted from any of the visits, so I'm assuming that there was no physical violence and they left, or she lied and chose not to press charges.

It just pisses me off because I hear the terrible things he says to her. Verbal and emotional abuse causes trauma that lasts so much longer than a bruise or a broken bone....but you never see anyone getting arrested for it.

Argh.

I had to go up there a little while ago and ask him to turn his music down as it is ELEVEN PM and I am trying to sleep. The music was so loud that it was literally vibrating my walls. C'mon....you're in your friggin 50's...do you really need to blast music at eleven o'clock at night?

I also asked him to quit stomping when he walked around. Currently, the music is off but the stomping continues. I'm so glad I don't have to get up early tomorrow morning.

I've devised a cease and desist letter to present to him. I've been too afraid to go up and confront him when he is in one of his rages, so I figure the letter is the best way to let him know it's time to shape up or ship the hell out. They are section 8 tenants, which means that if they get evicted, they could potentially lose their voucher from the county, and won't able to pay for housing.

On one hand, I don't want to see someone lose their housing. I work with baterers every day, and I know people are capable of changing their abusive behavior. However, it is absolutely not ok to let this behavior continue just because I don't want them to lose their housing. I'm hoping this letter is enough incentive to make him knock this crap off. If not, it's on him, not me.

Ugh...apartment management sucks ass.

**UPDATE***
So at 1am last night, I was woken up by someone saying "get the fuck off me!" I looked out my window only to see the female tenants practically dragging his sorry ass across the sidewalk because he was too drunk or high to even walk. Then he had apparently lost his keys and they were making all kinds of racket trying to figure their shit out.

Well that explains a whole lot...
