My landlord is not enforcing a lease rule what can I do? Please *HELP*?
I live in a small community (only 10 apartments) the apartments are for disabled people and senior citizens. There is one neighbor that always disturbs the peace. I have told my landlord about this. When my neighbors family comes that is when the disturbance starts. I can always tell when her family visits all of their cars have mufflers and her family drives like they are in an auto race. When her family talks they are shouting. I can hear them in my apartment.
My lease says there should be no disturbance that disrupts the enjoyment of the community and failure to obey these rules can result in termination of the lease. I have told my landlord about the loud neighbor over and over. I even called a police officer on her. The landlord says none of the other residents have complained. I said maybe it's because they are older and can't hear as well. Nothing has been done as of yet.
Does anyone know what I can do to get this problem resolved??

It sounds to me like you have very good grounds to terminate your lease and move out of your apartment. The best thing that you can do is to keep bugging your landlord and write a formal letter notifying him/her of your intention to terminate your lease due to his/her failure to abide by the terms agreed upon by both parties.
If you would rather stay in your apartment, rather than move out, you should just keep doing what you are doing. Complain loudly to the landlord and ask them to seek an eviction on the neighbor who is disturbing you. Calling the police may help, but you need to realize that noise complaints rank VERY low in order or priority for a police department. You may have to wait a while before an officer shows up.
