This is a weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that go on in and around my apartment complex in the past 25 years that we've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 25 years here in a weekly blog post.
The ambulance showed up for someone in drug dealers apartment this week. They were sitting up and talking so I don't know what was wrong with them.
The police also came to drug dealers apartment but I didn't know about it until afterwards. One of my neighbors saw it and told me. She said a bunch of people around here think he's a police informant and that's why the police are coming to his door so often but only stay for a few minutes and then leave with no one arrested. I mean, that would make sense. It would also explain why when he gets arrested, the police don't keep him for very long and he's still able to keep dealing from his apartment when the police know what's going on there.
My neighbor also told me that drug dealer and his wife just got a 30 day notice and that management aren't accepting their rent money because they were informed that they know they are selling drugs from their apartment and they just want them out. Ha! Drug dealer's wife told the other neighbor that she's going to fight it in court but I think the most she'll be able to get is an extra 30 days. We have something here called a 30 day No Cause. Meaning a landlord doesn't have to give you a reason for evicting you, all they have to say is they want the apartment back and the judges usually side with the landlords. So they might be gone in a couple of months. I can only hope.

My neighbor parked his car with his back wheel completely up on the sidewalk. Someone doesn't know how to park their car. lol
My daughter bought a small curtain rod and a curtain panel to hang in the doorway. It's almost open door season and we got sick of the nosy neighbors walking by looking in. I swear some of the tweakers look in making me think they are casing my place to see what they might steal. Now they can't see anything and the curtain is light enough to still let in the cool air.

The high this week was 89F/31C
The low this week was 59F/15C
So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
I really, really hope the drug dealers are moved on. Soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too.
Delete"Open-door season"? With the neighbors you have? Gah. I'd be terrified.
ReplyDeleteI suppose the tweakers might merely be admiring your impressive Halloween decorations, but you are probably right to fear the worst.
Hope you do get rid of the drug dealer. At least that would be something.
I have a metal security door, so its safe to have the inner door open.
DeleteHi, Mary!
ReplyDeleteIt's an interesting theory that the drug dealer in your neighborhood might actually be a police informant. If he gets evicted in the next two months, you might never know the truth. Either way, it should give you peace of mind, that is, unless someone even worse moves into his vacant unit. I hope not.
I owned a car that color when I was a teenager. It was called "sassy grass."
That picture of your curtain makes it look like a Close Encounter of the Third Kind awaits you on the other side. :)
Please throw my buddy Falcor a bone and have a safe and happy week, dear friend Mary!
I don't think we would ever know either way. The sun was shining on the other side of the curtain. Falcor will definitely be getting some treats.
DeleteIn your neighborhood, I'd never open my door. We live in a safe area and I'm cautious just opening the windows.
ReplyDeleteI have a metal security door so I don't worry about it.
DeleteAt first glance I thought you had strung some lights from the door frame and then noticed that black out curtain. My religious leader owns a beatle of color.
ReplyDeleteThe sun was shining on the other side of the curtain.
DeleteNot sure he'll leave, if he's got the back of the police behind him. Who knows?
ReplyDeleteIt won't matter who he has backing him if the managers really want to evict him.
DeleteDo you have a screen door that’s locked? I’m glad to hear the drug dealers will soon be gone, fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteYes, I have a metal security door.
DeleteYes, it sounds plausible that the guy is a police informant and that's why the police only talk to him for a few minutes. Hopefully the drug dealer will soon be evicted.
ReplyDeleteI do hope so.
DeleteI hope they do have to move. It will be so much safer for you guys.
ReplyDeleteI do hope so.
DeleteHere's hoping your drug-dealing neighbors do have to move out soon!
ReplyDeleteOh I sure hope so.
DeleteNow that's interesting if drug dealer is actually an informant! Although it sounds like maybe their days in that apartment are numbered...
ReplyDeletelol about the car parking. :)
It would be a lot better around here if they have to move.
DeleteThat would be one darn good eviction!
ReplyDeleteYes, it sure would.
DeleteSame as always then
ReplyDeleteMaybe. Hopefully drug dealer has to move.
DeleteA 30 day notice to drug dealer???!!! I can't believe management is finally doing something. But it's like they didn't know all along from the complaints? Why now? Please get that photo of him that you've been promising us before he's goes 😉
ReplyDeleteI will try. I hardly ever see him outside anymore.
DeleteIt is about time the drug dealer got evicted. Let's hope it gets rid of some of the other traffic as well!
ReplyDeleteIf he actually gets evicted, most of the homeless and addicts that congregate around here will be gone because they all go to his apartment.
DeleteOh, I bet you'll be ready to pop the champagne if the drug dealers get evicted! That's fabulous news, Mary!
ReplyDeleteYes, that would be good.
DeleteGlad t hear the druggies are being evicted. That will be a headache gone.
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait.
DeleteHope they don't pull the curtain aside for a peek. Now that would make me jump! LOL
ReplyDeleteI have a metal security door. lol
DeleteThe curtain is a smart idea! Great job!! I hope the drug dealers do move out and don't harass the rest of you on their way out. Best wishes to you!
ReplyDeleteI really hope they move out.
DeleteI'm crossing my fingers for drug dealer to be leaving! ☺
