You'll want to check your local landlord/tenant laws for what you can and cannot do with deposits and such, but it sounds like you can get a judgment levied against them for breach of lease and have a judge impose this judgment.

I forget the precise legal term for this, but basically the judge looks over your contract, examines what has actually happened, and then can overturn your deal using the "if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...it's a duck" principle. 

Keep a dated journal of your experience, install a security camera for video evidence.Make all interactions with him in writing, and always write your interaction as if a judge will read them 6 months later, don't antagonize or be passive aggressive, just factually state the problem and your reasonably requested solution, in a polite and neutral way.of course, none of that will probably work, but, it will be proof that you were reasonable and rational about the issues and it will probably show the neighbors antagonistic demeanor.Be real careful, that is real crazy to get a fan to intentionally blow smoke towards you.

@Tony Karns not having seen the property but judging by the description it is likely a waste of time to even sit down with the owner.

Alabama is hard to buy in, even the judges will admit they don't fully understand the law because it is ambiguous.

Some would declare that won't last 10 years.

You could make the best case in the world and still lose and judge rules in the tenants favor.

I declare for the whole world to see and hear and read I am truly sorry.

@Carlos C.For instance if you need to evict a tenant; when you appear in court the judge will drop your case if your LLC is not registered in that state.

Most title companies will not release it without the signed agreement, for liability reasons....it is Not their job to be the judge of this.
