I just wonder if anybody knows what to do in these cases:
DH's mother bought a garden flat in a very expensive development, she is a widow and lives alone with her tiny little dog. She is a professional painter and her greatest pleasure is her garden.
The obnoxious neigbour lives just upstairs, has a very short fuse and in the last two years has threaten to beat one of the building workers with a baseball bat, has beaten another neighbour, has been verbally violent to other neighbours' relatives and he has been sexually harassing MIL since 2 yrs ago, finally his hopes of romance have turned into rage and has beign harrassing her with making her life impossible and threatened MIL with killing her dog (an easy task considering his balcony is just above MIL's garden and he also has weapons at home).
MIL spent a week in England visiting us and when she went back she found that the neighbour clossed the water supply of the garden, he also has been asking for a company to come and set rats poison in all the garden areas as he claims there are rats (there are none, if any there's any fauna is an excess of cats) but it seems that the dog is the main target (specially as even if MIL keep the dog out of the public areas the neighbour can throw poisoned food from upstairs and blame the dog being allowed in public areas which she is not). He also has managed to get the head of the leasehold to send a letter to MIL restricting her from painting in her own house claiming those activities can cause a fire or create explosive fumes (she paint with oils but the room is perfectly ventilated and she doesn't paint in such escale as to produce dangerous fumes). So, in short MIL now lives in fear always worried that the neighbour can kill her dog, her plants, or prevent her from painting (which is her main income)
Any Spanish out there knowing what to do in such a situation?
