Q: Can I sue both landlord and neighbors for refusing to acknowledge domestic abuse taking place on his premises?
This morning was the third time my neighbors physical violence and fighting not only woke me in the middle of the morning, but they extend it to my doorstep throwing someone against it. I have complained to my landlord over a yr now...he does absolutely nothing but tell me "if youre not happy, leave" other than txting me when he wants his damn rent $$. Today I called the cops, they didnt even show...and do absolutely nothing the previous times they came didn;t even bother to issue a case # for this kind of occurrence
A: No, you have no cause of action against your landlord or against your neighbor. Take your landlord's advice and move when your lease is up.
