Intolerable Neighbor Rant

One thing you can do is take pictures of your neighbor's visibly disgusting (and illegal) habits, photocopy your copy of the lease, highlight the areas where the lease is being broken by the next-door tenants and send it all to the landlord with a nice letter about how you really like the place, but you can't keep putting up with the current shenanigans going on next door. If you're a good tenant (pay rent on time, usually works for most douchebags) he'll delve a bit deeper into things.

If you're certain he still won't do anything, try sending the kit and kaboodle to a good landlord/tenant lawyer. I know you'll have to look for other living accommodations, but it sounds as if this might be unavoidable in any event.

Whatever you decide, good luck.

You haven't been here very long kitsa so I don't think I am overstating the fact that I don't really know you. That being said, the idea that some punk is stealing your mail fills me with outrage!

If possible you may want to seriously consider moving somewhere else, somewhere that isn't a duplex. I've never lived in a duplex myself but my dad owned a few way back when. The tenants where so bad they ended up putting are family in a financial hole that would last for years to come.
