I think my neighbor died days ago ...

I live in a small 4 unit building and things have been really heavy here lately. One of my neighbors went missing five days ago and yesterday the whole lot was full of police cars and the county medical examiner. They took all of our info but wouldn't say a word besides confirming he was reported missing. It seems pretty obvious what happened since the medical examiner was there but nobody has come by to clean anything up and it has been over 24 hours now. I saw him right before he vanished when he was putting a tarp on his car for the snow and that tarp hasn't moved an inch. The lights are on in his place tonight but there are no other cars around so I suspect he might have been in there for days before they found him. Rent is due today and we just got an elusive new landlord who nobody really knows yet. I am a first-time renter and I don’t know how any of this works, so I’m wondering if I should contact the landlord to ask about it or if someone has already told him. I am so sorry if this seems insensitive, but he was a really nice guy and I am just really struggling to process all of this. #neighbor #community #advice #renting #apartmentliving #sad

My neighbor’s alarm is waking me up at 4:30 AM and they just sleep through it.

Every single morning between 4:30 and 5:00 AM, my neighbor’s alarm starts going off right against our shared wall. It’s this incredibly annoying, high-pitched "ding ding" sound mixed with a loud vibration that I can feel through the wall. The worst part is they clearly don't hear it, because it usually blares for a solid 20 to 30 minutes before it finally stops. By the time they actually wake up, I've been lying there wide awake and frustrated for half an hour. I feel like a crazy person just staring at the ceiling listening to it, but I’m not sure how to bring it up since everyone technically has the right to set an alarm. I left a note on his door yesterday since I figured he wasn't home to turn it off, even though I could hear him talking inside at the time. The alarm woke me up again this morning anyway, and I noticed the note is still untouched on his door. It turns out he's just a massive heavy sleeper who is genuinely oblivious to the noise. I’m just hoping he actually reads it soon and tries to be more considerate. #ApartmentLiving #NoiseIssues #SleepDeprived #NeighborProblems

😤 My neighbor is running an illegal airbnb. How to secretly report him without coming off as a complete snitch?

I was on Airbnb looking for a specific accessible rental for my aunt and grandma when I found a listing for a unit in my own 250-unit rental building. This is a 1000% violation of our lease agreement and it makes my blood boil. We are all renters here and this is not a condo community. I hate Airbnb with a burning passion because it actively destroys local housing markets and makes apartments much more expensive for people who actually need to live here. It is not "mind your own business" it is corporate greed making our lives worse. I only used the site because my grandma is elderly and needed a house with specific accessibility for her vehicle. The guy is not my immediate neighbor above or below, so I do not know him personally. I absolutely want to report this to management and get this unit back into the actual housing pool. I desperately need advice on how to report him to the leasing office without coming off as a complete snitch. #RentingSucks #HousingCrisis #Airbnb #LeaseViolation #ApartmentLiving #SnitchLife #MoralDilemma #Home
