The best neighbors are either ones who are friendly or ones who mind their own business. The worst neighbors are the one who are inconsiderate and cause trouble.

In this story, one couple’s neighbors are so awful that they are actually trying to get the couple evicted for a completely ridiculous reason. Thankfully, their landlord knows better than to believe the neighbors, but it’s still a pretty frustrating situation.

Keep reading for all the details.

Our crazy neighbours told our landlord we do hard drugs (We don’t)

To start the story here is some context. I work in a small rural school and live in a Duplex owned by the school division I work for.

They don’t reserve the school owned housing for Staff but staff does get first dibs.

My boyfriend and I who were both born and raised and work in this small community have been living in this house for 3 years.

Okay now for the story.

Meet the new neighbors.

In September we got new neighbours on the other side of our duplex.

They looked like a sweet old couple and did not work for the school division. They got the house because it was empty and no other staff needed it.

For 3 months we tried to introduce ourselves to them.

Every time we were outside at the same time we would try to say hi and they would always hurry into their house without saying anything back.

Apparently, some of the neighbors have met the new neighbors.

Now to the end of March and we still haven’t met our neighbours.

However, we have recently learned from other people that met them, that our neighbours are retired and moved here from a few provinces away. They have recently moved their adult son in with them as well.

Apparently they moved here because “God called them to this community because we are a bunch of sinners that need to be saved.”

They still haven’t talked to the new neighbors.

Now mind you at this point it’s all rumours.

We have stopped trying to introduce ourselves but are still being very courteous neighbours.

We don’t listen to loud music, we make sure our tv is never too loud, and we make sure after 10pm that we don’t make any loud noises.

This is crazy!

Now to April. Just before Easter I get an email from our landlord saying he needs us to call him as soon as we can.

My boyfriend and I both come home for lunch that day so that we can call him together and our landlord tells us something wild!

He says our neighbours came to his office and told him we are Doing and Cooking Meth in our house. They say there is a smell and they didn’t know what it was at first but then their pastor came over one day and told them the smell was meth.

They even have a theory.

Our landlord says they told him they could only smell it on Fridays and Saturday and theorizes we don’t do it Sunday because we need Sunday to sober up for work.

They tell him that they are worried about a fire hazard because they think we are making the drug and they don’t feel safe.

He says his wife is moving out because she is worried about being poisoned from the smell.

At least their landlord is on their side.

Our landlord having known us for a long time does not believe them. He tried to calm them done and tell them it’s not anything to worry about.

They get upset and threaten to call the cops.

So our landlord has warned us about all this and tells us to just be prepared in case the police do show up. And he advised us to let the police into our home to look around and see we have nothing to hide.

No police yet…

Now to the present (May). There has been no police show up at our house. We have not seen our neighbours in weeks and believe they are almost never home because there is never any vehicles there.

We have stoped being the nice neighbours and do not worry about how loud our tv is or if we make loud noises at night.

A bit petty of us but what would you do if your neighbours were trying to get you kicked out?

The drama continues…

Today I get another email from my landlord saying he needs me to call him. He says my neighbours claim that the husband is in the hospital and the doctors have found traces of Meth in his system and they want us evicted immediately.

Again our landlord doesn’t believe them and tells them to not worry but to make them feel better he is coming to tour both of our places next week.

My boyfriend and I have both offered to provide drug tests to our landlord to show the neighbours. (They will obviously be negative for everything.)

It really is pretty crazy!

This has been absolutely insane.

This couple comes into a small community and tries to spread lies about a family who has been here for over 20 years (me and my boyfriend).

No one in our town believes them and it has become a joke at both of our places of work.

Yikes! That couple is really trying to stir up drama. I wonder why they want OP evicted so badly. I wonder if they are smelling something or if they’re just making it all up.

Let’s see how Reddit responded.

This person has a theory.

Another person has the same theory.

Here’s some advice.

If you enjoyed this story, check out this post about a neighbor who documented times of noise spikes and turned their neighbor into a model tenant.

This is good advice.

It really might be their son who is the problem. They might not be lying. It might be their son who is lying to them.

It’s still annoying for OP. Hopefully, when the landlord visits, it clears things up.
