My first home was in an area that was more up and coming. The first tenants next to me were perfectly quiet. Then they moved. On the very first day the new tenants, a group of three 24 year old stoners; I had to open my window and tell them that they weren't allowed to be banging on their brake rotor with a metal mallet at 11 pm. Then it was being woken up by their vehicle with a broken muffler everyday at 6 am. Finally on Easter Sunday at 10:30pm when they were out in their garage revving a friends car engine they were working on, my gf had enough so I went out shirtless in my shorts and told them all I'd had enough and ripped the keys out of the car and threw them down the driveway.
This behavior would be on and off over the course of a two years and finally I reached out the the PM who ended up being useless, and finally got a hold of the owner and convinced him to get rid of her and/or the tenants. He kept the PM but put in much better people now. I don't live there anymore but still own the duplex and my tenants have no complaints anymore.
Squeaky wheel gets the grease. You own your home. I definitely would not be letting renters or a ****** landlord disrupt enjoyment of my own home that I own. Go to city hall, go to the police department. Raise hell until city officials don't want to see your face anymore and they tell the cops to make it hard on the people.
