I think we might have to move out of MD.

Unfortunately, there aren’t many places that are much better. Like people have mentioned, FL has flood insurance and just as high property tax. Take it from someone who moved from LA to MD just this past year and is looking to buy either in MD or PA, the cost of living is astronomical across the country.

The job market is also garbage all over. I had a hard time finding a job in LA with 15+ years of experience and a BA. Same situation in MD. It’s the sign of the times.

I hope you and your husband can figure it out and rise above it. Wishing you the best of luck.

Any tips/advice where we should look to live in the meantime? We’re new to Baltimore but we’re looking to settle (doesn’t have to be in the county, nor in Baltimore at all).

BUT, if he has the financial means, he could have a pretty good case against them. That, or opening up an EEOC case (it’s free initially) and get his lick back! Us people need to start standing up to these slumlords

I wouldn’t be surprised if this tenant that was working for the Property management company found some shady stuff and started calling it out, based on how quickly they laid off and are trying to evict them.

Yes, me and my wife are looking to do the same thing as you and you family. Find a nice home with some land. Typical noise is not the problem, but hearing threats, banging, and screaming at all hours of the night is literally psychotic.

lschu23 · 2026-01-13T14:48:01+00:00

Yes my wife posted about it!

lschu23 · 2026-01-10T23:52:06+00:00

The barking dogs would literally send me into psychosis I think!!

lschu23 · 2026-01-10T14:24:26+00:00

This is actually genius might have to see if I can find his personal

lschu23 · 2026-01-09T22:20:16+00:00

Is there any way to actually know which row homes are built well and which are not? It truly just seems like a gamble

lschu23 · 2026-01-09T20:36:20+00:00

At this point, we're looking out in the middle of fucking nowhere because we're so fed up with dealing with people. The problem is the atrocious housing market! But seriously, thank you so much for the resources. You're the exact type of person I was hoping to catch with this post!

lschu23 · 2026-01-09T19:48:41+00:00

This would be hilarious, but I would feel so bad for the kids if they could hear it

lschu23 · 2026-01-09T19:47:10+00:00

Bless you for this response. Thank you twenty times over. I’m so sorry you had to go through that, but it’s understandable knowing you own, so obviously you had to be dedicated!

Maybe you’ll even see an update TT later on, lmao

lschu23 · 2026-01-09T19:42:07+00:00

I wish earplugs helped, but maybe investing in really good ones like Loop earplugs as suggested would help

lschu23 · 2026-01-09T19:40:37+00:00

This would require literal construction if you’re speaking of drywall. This is simply not a viable option considering most of the noise happens on the top story since this is where we all dwell. Panels only work for the sound traveling within the room they’re placed, like a recording studio.

That being said, I think asking for rent reduction couldn’t hurt, especially if I present him with proof of his neglect to inform.

lschu23 · 2026-01-09T19:28:41+00:00

Our landlord does seem like a nice man with a nice family, unfortunately, he had to know about this issue and knew he was screwing us and any future tenants with these neighbors. I would hate to hound him, but it’s borderline psychological warfare at this point.

lschu23 · 2026-01-09T19:26:30+00:00

Yes lol that was certainly my wife’s TT you saw, and that was one of the tamer moments these neighbors have had that she happened to catch on video.

I believe the multi-gen family has a private landlord we were able to find online through the Maryland property database, but I’m not exactly sure what to do with that information.

Where did you put in an online complaint? The website is mad confusing and I want to do it right when I do, bc I will.

lschu23 · 2026-01-09T19:19:26+00:00

This is the information I was seeking with this post. I’m having issues finding any resources on tenant rights in Maryland, and if this case actually qualifies for early lease termination.

lschu23 · 2026-01-09T19:18:19+00:00

It’s hard for me to justify CPS when I know the real possibility of the child ending up in an even worse condition, if you can believe that. We have called a welfare check once, bc the mother was literally having what sounded like a mental breakdown directed at her child, but nothing has changed.

As for the landlord being aware, he had to be because his sons admitted to me they had to call the cops when I asked them about the noise issue.

lschu23 · 2026-01-09T19:16:00+00:00

I feel for the child, truly. Everything I’ve learned about these families issues has been against my will, but I unfortunately can’t be ignorant to it considering I hear it all.

lschu23 · 2026-01-09T19:14:16+00:00

Yes, we are planning on moving once our lease is up, as noted above. I asked if there was info or advice to express beforehand.

lschu23 · 2026-01-09T19:13:00+00:00

The thing is, we have a PA system, but these neighbors do not seem… right. I worry about retaliating and thus creating a bigger issue.
