Daily Life
I live in a quiet neighborhood. At least that's
what I
thought until last week.
I live in
a
cul de sac in a residential
neighborhood in Los Angeles. There is a nice
retired couple that lives kitty
corner from me. They have always been
very
friendly and we have gotten along
very
well.
About three months ago,
they
decided to renovate their garage and
turn
it into a guesthouse. Since they
didn't
have a lot of money, they wanted to rent
out
the unit to help make
ends
meet.
A new renter moved
in
three weeks ago and that's when the trouble
began.
She was a student at the local university and
she
liked to invite her friends over. The trouble
was,
they kept very late hours, and they
liked
to play loud music. My neighbors were at
their
wits' end. They talked to their
tenant
several times about the noise but
nothing
worked. Finally, they asked her to move
out
. Fortunately, she was on a month-
to-
month lease and they didn't have any
problems.
Now that my
neighbors
have learned their lesson, their new
tenant is a nice widow with two cats.
I'm
so glad that everything worked out in the end!
