Later, we get a letter in the mail from her telling us to move away and that I don't know how to own a house. Since then, she had been harassing me off and on. Well, I did some digging on her and come to find out, she smokes. I smoked too (not as often) but she harassed me so much before she even found out about my small habit. She let it slip all over a social networking site that she does this and bragged about it while on company time. She also mentioned how much she hates me. I've attempted to speak with her on how she felt about us moving in, but she remains very cagey and doesn't want to hear anything we have to say. She has caused so much stress in our lives that I've been on several anxiety medications in the past 7 years.

I've figured out why she hates me. It may be because she wants to raise her property value up, and since the home I purchased was a HUD, it meant it needed a lot of work. Her first priority was to goad me into making it a home that measured up to her standards (keep in mind this is an unreasonable request especially if you moved in 2 months ago). Her and another neighbor have teamed up to harass me and write letters to my house. She threw an egg at my car at one point. I've spoke to both of them face to face. The other neighbor has left me alone, but the one who smokes won't let me be. She doesn't even know that I know her secret. I'm honored to know fellow smokers on my block, but this one has been very problematic (I suspected she was just racist before). I don't know what to do. I've kept a detailed log of all of her incidents, and it just baffles me that she is so arrogant, rude, nosy, AND a smoker (plus she does other drugs which were confirmed on her page). She always has something to say about each little home improvement I have made over the years, and I am just fed up. She won't let me talk to her, or try to resolve the situation like a good neighbor would. I don't trust her, and I think one day she might try to narc on me. Since all of the trouble has happened, I have kept my house free of anything incriminating ( this has been the case for quite some time). I am tempted to ruin her and force forclosure, but what if an LEO moves in next door? I'm in a serious predicament indeed. What would a fellow smoker do in this situation?
