I agree that if you have the means to move you might as well. Even if you call the cops and get them evicted or to change their behavior, it will take a lot of effort and discomfort on your part. Plus, you may not really be able to fix the situation. It may be easier to just change apts and hope for better neighbors next time (I don't really see how it can get worse )

After sleeping on my couch the last 2 nights, I decided that I was going to suck it up and sleep in my own bed last night. Since my allergies had been bugging me all day, I was feeling really drained and tired. Decided to take some Tylonel Sinus PM and figured that would help if they started arguing too - could sleep right through it!
Apparently not. At 3:20am, I woke up to drawers being opened and closed, closet doors moving back and forth, and yelling with profanities! I tried to ignore it for a couple minutes until I reached for my phone to dial the courtesy patrol. They said they'd send someone and I tried to go back to sleep because at that point I was very nauseous from being woken up on the medication.
Just as I was about to get back to sleep, I hear a knock somewhere. I thought it was my door at first so I went to check, but nobody was there. So I glanced out the window and there's 2 cop cars out front! The courtesy patrol called the cops and they actually knocked on their door to tell them to shut up.
About 20 minutes later, I see the cops escorting a male to his car and making sure that he drives away. Guess they told the guy to go find another place to stay. Will be interesting when I call the management office this morning!

at least someone got the police involved.. thats domestic abuse- even if its emotional and he's not hitting her and its abusive of your rights to make you listen to it..

Yeah, I am hoping to solve this whole thing by tomorrow. I'm going to call the regional office of my old management and talk to a manager there. See if they can get me moved to one of their communities and first month's rent free for having to move in the first place! That would save me a lot of money this month if it could happen.

ugh! What an awful situation!! Well, now that the cops have been involved, it should be easier to actually have something done about it! You shouldn't have to live like this!! I don't think you are overacting at all. I certainly hope it gets resolved soon!

Here's my update on my saga:
I called Mon morning and got a new person there. I had him verify that they had mentioned my apartment number in the complaints. I'm glad I did this because the last girl was wrong! The courtesy patrol people had mentioned my apartment number to the management and that's what Isabel (office clerk) seen. Big sigh of relief there! Darn office girl for making me stress all weekend, though!
But I still had the problem with my neighbors. In short, I basically got told today that they can probably move me to a different apartment, except they don't have any right now. They can't give me any discounts on anything. But they will be giving the tenants a 3-day legal notice that says if they do anything else during their stay that they will be given a 60-day eviction notice. Woop-di-do! That means I still have to put up with them for at least 60 more days, and then my lease expires too!
And here's the worst part - they raised the pet deposit from $250 to $500!!! I can barely come up with $250, how the heck am I gonna do $500? I was furious.
So I wrote a 3 page letter and gave it to the office, and told them that they need to change my lease so that it expires by the end of this month. That's the least they could do for me! Waiting back on a reply because the guy has to talk to his regional manager, but he said my letter was beautiful and that he was so sorry for all I've gone through.
I posted my letter because I was so proud of it here: web page. Of course I "XXX"'d out confidential info.
Will let you know what the regional manager says! The guy has been refusing to give me her name, but I did my own research and got her name and number! So if I don't like my answer I will be calling her direct.
