I would first of all, make the management of the complex aware of this situation since the management of the complex is responsible for the behavior of all the tenants. Provide them with a log of the times this woman has called the police and explain how you believe it is harassment. I would also have family and friends who have been at dinner write and sign statements regarding the frequency of these police visits, and have them state there was nothing untoward happening at the time these "incidents" occurred.

I would ask the management precisely what action they expect to take regarding the issue. It may be possible you aren't the only tenant having trouble with the woman in question. I would also follow up your visit to the manager with a certified letter reiterating the concerns you brought up in your meeting, and state specifically what remedy you wish, or put in writing what remedy was agreed upon at the meeting ( if any ). And I would ask for resolution regarding the issue within 30 days.

If the complex does not respond, then he will have to address the issue with the woman directly. I would write her a letter, certified, with the information (and logs of dates and times) that you have provided for the management and tell her if these calls to the police do not cease, you will file a complaint against her for harassment. And, if she does, then you make a police report regarding harassment. And, if given the chance, press charges against her.

I suspect the manager of the complex will want to be involved and will address the issue with the woman in question---after all, you are a paying customer as well.

If none of these ideas work, I would ask to be released from the lease without penalty and find a new place to live.

Good luck.
