What do you expect to say in your letter? That the neighbor gets upset when you record her children and that she feels you're creepy for always eyeing her kids?

A letter to the landlord isn't going to change anything. In fact, I'd bet it will make things worse.
 


Not for legal content...have two friends read your letter first to see if others think it says what you think it says..if I read my own stuff a dozen times I'm likely to make the same mistake in meaning a dozen times too.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I used to have that problem when proofreading my work at an office assistant job.
Would it be ok if I posted it here? I could leave out anything that identifies people or addresses.

I think we have a miscommunication here. I didn't intend to put the video on Youtube for everyone to see. As I mentioned, it was for the purpose of linking to it here. I don't know of any other way to share videos. And as I said before, if there's another way of doing it, I'm willing to hear about it. But if Youtube was the only way to do it, I wouldn't be labeling the video with anything that identifies who's in it or where they live.

We don't need to, nor do we want to see it.

I guess I somehow haven't made myself clear, even though I explained everything in post #1, which does not indicate that I'm "always eyeing her kids". Also, what she thought was "creepy" is simply the fact that I have my kitchen curtains open.

The purpose is to let the owner of the house know what the tenants who are living in his house are doing, and that they are causing problems with neighbors through harassment, threats and property damage. He has the final say over who lives in his house and what is allowed to happen there. If what they're doing is going to give him a bad reputation as a landlord by allowing things to happen that causes the police to keep coming to his property, he will most likely have a talk with them, explaining that this behavior cannot continue or they will have to move out. The hoped for result is they start living more peacefully and allowing people around them to do the same, or they move to somewhere where their behavior is somehow acceptable.

If you were a landlord and had tenants that were causing problems for your neighbors, would you want to allow them to continue doing so? Unless someone were to inform you of what was happening, you'd have no way of knowing about it.

There are two sides to every story and it's apparent to me that your side is leaving a lot out. You have received advice in this thread, and I don't think there's much more we can do for you. I wish you the best of luck.

If you really thought I was leaving a lot out of the story, you wouldn't have a problem with me posting the video of it so you can see for yourself. It sounds like you're more interested in accusing me of something than knowing the truth. I guess that's easier.

It's not appropriate to post videos on this forum.

Site software wouldn't allow the posting of your video. Read the TOS.
