we just moved to this complex two months ago little knowing there is a noisy and racist couple with a dog living upstairs. it is a nice and clean apt. but have very thin walls and owned by a jovial guy.


so, the wife scolded my wfe for walking my son on the property-is she the owner??. i wasn't at home and i did not say anything. then later the laundry and dish washer kept us awake till 4 am that night. yes- they use them at 2:30 or 3:00 am in the morning.


next day i requested the wife not to use the machines after midnight. she stopped for few days then started again. as parents and students, we are always exhausted and we love our afternoon naps during weekends but no their dog keeps barking until they come home.


yesterday, as we were trying to go to bed at midnight, their dog started barking and if u are a science student - u know sound travel fast during nighttime.


i talked to the husband but in vain and now i am going to talk with the owner.


what do u suggest??

Asking neighbor to quiet down led to fatal shooting of a father

David Hampton Ledet, 37, leaves behind a 2-year-old daughter. Ledet got entangled in an altercation at his mother's condominium when he asked a neighbor to quiet down so as not to awaken her. The neighbor eventually shot Ledet and then killed himself.

Michael A. Normand was known to his neighbors as a recluse, a man who kept to himself. The 64-year-old welder would sit on his balcony and watch his neighbors' activities, frequently making complaints to the management office. Except for one neighbor, no friends or family stopped by to visit, according to one person who lived across from him.

But early Friday, residents became aware of the ferocity of the man they hardly knew, even though he had lived at the Bayou Woods Condominiums at 7575 Katy Freeway for 25 years.

Normand, angry and screaming about an illegally parked vehicle, shot and killed a neighbor who had asked him to quiet down so the neighbor's 2-year-old daughter would not be awakened, Houston Police Department homicide investigators said.

After killing U.S. Navy veteran and oil drilling consultant David Hampton Ledet, 37, Normand then sat on the hood of his 1977 Oldsmobile and killed himself by firing a bullet under his chin, neighbors said.

Ledet's mother, who lives at the condominium complex, said she is angry that no one warned her or her son about Normand's instability.

“I'm very angry nobody told us this man was volatile,” said Donna Sue Ledet, who moved into the condominiums last December and vows she will now move out. “It makes me angry that this man was a time bomb ticking away, and all our neighbors knew it.”

Managers at the condominiums' office said they were not allowed to comment Monday and said they would pass a request for comment along to the complex's board of directors, who did not respond to the Chronicle.

The scene in parking lot

David Ledet, a Houston native who traveled all over the world for his work, had just arrived home from Thailand on June 1, along with his 2-year-old daughter, his mother said. He and his daughter were staying at his mother's condominium, and he planned to depart for a job in Holland in September.

Shortly before 5 a.m. Friday, as Ledet was doing graphics artwork on the computer while his mother and daughter slept, he heard yelling in the parking lot and went outside to investigate. Normand had been leaving for work but began yelling and screaming when he noticed another man's roofing truck parked illegally, parallel to one of the buildings. The truck was not blocking his parking space, HPD homicide investigators said. But the truck's driver argued with Normand, neighbors said.

“It was believed by witnesses that he could have backed out around it,” said HPD Homicide Division Sgt. N.T. Ruland.

An unarmed security guard approached Normand, and Ledet came outside and asked Normand to keep his voice down so as not to awaken Ledet's 2-year-old daughter. Another neighbor, Christina Pavlovich, 42, also came outside to intervene and tried to calm Normand. As the fight escalated, the security guard went to call 911, Ruland said.

Normand then threatened to go get a gun, returned to his condo to retrieve a revolver, tucked the gun in his pants, then returned to the parking lot, Pavlovich said.

“As he was coming down the stairwell, I said, ‘Michael, Michael, what are you doing?'” Pavlovich said. “He said, ‘Mind your own business!' It was the first time he had ever spoken to me like that.”

Physical altercation

When Normand reached the parking lot, Pavlovich said she saw Ledet slam his fists on the trunk of Normand's car. As Normand moved closer to him, Ledet then shoved Normand, causing him to flip over the trunk of his car, Pavlovich said.

Normand then shot Ledet one time. Pavlovich was standing so close that the gunpowder burned her knuckles, she said. She started to run, but looked back to see Normand shoot Ledet several more times while Ledet was down on the ground.

Pavlovich said when she came back moments later, she saw Normand calmly leaning against his car. He had removed the clip from his gun, she said.

“He said ‘I'm fine, I'm fine. But he's dead, he's dead,'” Pavlovich recalled.

“I said, ‘I'm so sorry, Michael.' He said, ‘Christina, you need to go to your condo. You need to go back inside.'”

Pavlovich said she turned to go and, from the corner of her eye, she saw Normand pick up the gun and put the clip back inside. She then heard a boom.

Humm not really but sometimes there are some american wannabe immigrants who are underprivileged in their home country. If i were you i would ask the landlord too. But i would prefer not to live around those people who are flying with attitude.

It seems you have already done your part to make them aware of the problem. If they, for some reason do not comply, there is very little left beside calling the cops, which will eventually make them more pissed off. In a country where people have guns, the wise thing to do is to move out. If things do not change after you talking to the owner, there is nothing you can do with lowlife scums. Risk your life staying there facing all the troubles, or spit on the deposit and move on.
Trust me, just they are immigrant of Cuban origin does not mean they should be better understanding. Good and Bad people are everywhere, even in Nepal, Phd or not.

thanks Bob. eductaion was supposed to make people open minded and liberal but for some it is the opposite.


the entire neighborhood don't like them that much. they seem like retards. the previous tenant also complained about them. the owner said he will talk to them asap. hope this will solve the problem and if not we will suck it up and live the rest of the lease.

I would have call the cops..and like other frens said talk to landlord and once the lease is over just Move Out or and even if that doesn't work talking to landlord or calling cops then break the lease and move out. Some people are sick they enjoy giving trouble to other people. They are miserable and their misery needs company thats all. I have been on that situation i did everything i could, calling cops, talking to landlord and nothing worked so I moved out. Goodluck with that and next time you take the lease make sure you do some research about place and check the place out during nights and weekend and talk to neighbors.. Landlords, all they wants is money so they are not gono tell you whats ur surrounding is gono be like except telling all good.

the husband and i work in the same building but just say hi hello, not close. so, i could not call the cops or report to the manager. but i will do some homework before i move next time.


thanks for the suggestions, guys. but seems like my threat did some work. again, i told them yesterday, if i don't get my peace, i will call the owner and then cops. we haven't heard any barking since last night. lets hope it will stay that way.

You should file a formal complaint to the landlord and then to police.  This is not so much for them to come down on your neighbour but to create a paper-trail.  Having done that, if the problem still persists, you should be able to legally break the lease without any penalties.

मेरा एक मित्रलाई पनि एस्तै सम्स्या परेको थियो तर ठीक उल्टो .
उन्को सानी नानी कुदेको कुदै गर्ने जे पनि झार्ने.


जतिपल्ट त्यस्तो ठँग्र्यान ठुरुङ हुन्थ्यो तल बस्नेले कुचोले तेतिनै पल्ट ठ्वाङ पारीहाल्थ्यो .
सम्स्या बुझेर पनि हल गर्न गाह्रो, अन्त्यमा मिला पत्र गरे रे " ल तै भन यो स्यानो बच्चालाई नकुद भनेर"

tell everything to the property owner, normally the property manager will deal with this matter, the property manager might even find you another apartment room in the complex.

You can do couple of things that might work


1) Start by writing a letter of complaint to 3 parties (same letter) owner/property manager and the tenant upstairs...by complaining in writing you can break the lease if bad comes to worse.  Make sure to get a receipt for delivery of the letters.  This is to prepare if it goes to court.  If you can record vdo tape noise, conversations etc..Be clear precise and discriptive


2) Talk with the landlord and tell him next time you will be forced to call the police on them if they continue their irrational behaviour...and KEEP YOUR WORD TO CALL THE POLICE


3) Do not confront the tenants anymore it will only lead to altercations, call up the landlord at 2 or 3 am or whenver problem occurs.


but start with 1 then follow the rest or bite the bullet and move out but what if this happens again? you cannot be evicted if you abide by your lease terms.

oh btw I am not saying you are coward or anything but you have to pursue this a bit more aggresively stand up for yourself.  This couple is pissing all over you and your wife.  Find out if animals allowed in your building?

mucho,


it's not about being coward. it is about ethics. my conscience did not allow me to go straight to landlord cause i know the husband a bit and thought i will talk some sense into his thick skull. so far they have been quiet and if they continue i will take it to the owner.

My Friend, you can not change the other people, BUT  you have to change yourself with positive attitude.

IF I WERE YOU, I WOULD HAVE THINK THIS WAY, SINCE I HAVE KID.

  • I AM LUCKY, I HAVE SIX MONTHS LEASE AND FOUR MONTHS TO GO. I WILL HAVE NEW PLACE AFTER FOUR MONTHS.
  • AROUND MY NEW PLACE, MY CHILD PLAYS WITH GOOD KIDS AROUND WHERE I LIVE AND ENJOY.
  • IN MY NEW COMPLEX, I AM HAPPY WITH MY FAMILY IN MY ROOM AND ENJOY TO BE WITH THEM ALL THE TIME.
  • MY WIFE LIVES PEACEFULLY ALL THE TIME AND I CAN CONCENTRATE ON ANYTHING AT MY NEW PLACE.
IF YOU CONCENTRATE ON POSITIVE THINGS OF YOURS EVERYDAY, YOU WON'T EVEN FEEL NEGATIVES GOING AROUND YOU.

GOOD LUCK
