  • Fight it in court and demand to face your accuser. Then, when you win, sue them in small claims court for damages (your fees + your time). At least, if you’re in the US.

    Have you considered that this person might want you to move out? I’ve had that happen to me once. I lived in an apartment and someone who was tired of living in an upstairs unit constantly called the police on me with noise complaints. I knew they were trying to get me evicted even if nothing could be proven, so I got a sympathetic officer to tell me which resident called on me. I notified the property management company. Thankfully, they asked the neighbors to leave instead. So they have a vague rule in the lease that says excessive police presence on your behalf is grounds for eviction, and my neighbor was trying to weaponise it against me. When I successfully identified them and presented this to the company, they basically saw that the neighbor was constantly bringing the police to the building. Therefore, they were in violation, and evicted.

    If you both own, that wouldn’t apply. If you rent, it might. If nothing else, you know who is targeting you and you have a few options in that case. At the very least, you have documentation.

    Just be advised, if legal methods to remove you don’t work, they may try illegal methods. Thus, documentation will help here as well. You have a motive if someone vandalises your property. An illegal act with motivation is plenty of grounds for a restraining order. Thus, it’s not a good idea to make enemies of your neighbors.
