Since this thread was about disruptive noise in section 8, so I just share my story that I am going through the same thing right now. It just difference that the OP noises are from a tenant there, and my noises are from unauthorize guests (people who does not live in my housing complex). You disagree or agree with what I write that is your freedom. It is also my freedom on how I should handle my situation. But calling me spy on the neighbor is not a legit proof, when obvious everyone here know that section 8 are housing wall to wall, walls are thin, can be heard through. There are neighbors upstair from you, next to you, across from you. Spy is when I am looking at their house, I don’t even look, I heard them loud enough, because they never closed their windows even make it worst on the noise. And I stated, the guests baby cries that even wake the other neighbor dog start barking, please shut your windows at night, no neighbors need to hear sound inside your house. And thank you Chimera, I will check into this. I just hope the tax payer money are helping those actually in needs intead of those that abuse the system. Sorry to the OP, have respect for the OP thread. If anyone want to debate with me one on one, feel free to message me. I write enough posts stated my case, if anyone think what I write are violations of this site rules, please feel free to report me to the admin, let the admin come here and read my post and have them decided. ---

Eileen, Apparently my take on this was pretty much the same as just about every poster on that other forum, that had landlords giving advice. They found your rantings to pretty much be ridiculous and ended up having to lock the thread bc you kept ranting at the posters there you should try yoga to help you re\* laxxx, you take comments and run with them blowing them way the heck out of proportion like you did on the other forum. I didnt say “eileen, your a spy” what i actually said was that \*\* i myself would not want to bother spying on neighbors,\*\* because my life is busy enough, unless a neighbor is doing something significant (such as dangerous or violent) ---

> [@Eileen\_1](#): > > And I called the police on the damn baby crying because this baby and baby family are not residents in my housing complex. Who knows where this family come from, they can be just new immigrant come from Vietnam without a place to stay, so neighbor helping them out. And that is against the lease because if anything happend to this 3 guests, section 8 will have to be responsible for them. And do you think section 8 going to take this risk? Answer always be No! > > And, have some manners, if baby (guest) going to cry all nights, at least shut the windows. So all the neighbors around won’t hear as much, and at least keep other neighbors dogs from barking because of the baby cries. > > And again, if this baby and baby parents are permanent residents here in USA, and is U.S citizen please go apply for welfare, or the father please go apply unemployment. Then they will have the money and helps, no need to stay for FREE over neighbors house, that is abuse the section 8 system, and abuse tax payer money. 😛 OK my last post on this. Hope the OP solve this problems, and hope I solve my problems too. Have a nice weekend to all. ---

Personally, I love tollhouse cookies that are just _slightly_ gooey in the center…not loke dough but just a tad gooey… ---
