Me, my girlfriend and our beloved cat Jaws moved to from Warwick to Providence a year ago. This was a huge mistake.
We live in the Smith Hill area. I underestimated just how dangerous the area was. I was more concerned for my girlfriend and Cats safety. Luckily, my girlfriend and cat haven't had any major instances.
I was jumped by 3 men in late July of 2022. A random act of violence. Right outside Providence Place Mall. Other than aggressive crack heads, Providence has been a interesting experience to say the least.
For what ever reason my first floor neighbors (I live on the second floor) randomly decided to either have a midlife crisis or start doing hard drugs. Possibly both. They went from normal, friendly people, to dangerous, violent, psychopaths. This started a few months ago.
Long story short they play OBNOXIOUSLY loud music, inside. It literally shakes my walls, floors, and furniture. They have knocked stuff off my walls, and caused lack of sleep. Of coarse I tried texting them, calling them, even knocking on their door. And for what ever reason 2 weeks ago, I knocked, asked him to turn the music down. Not off, just down...He went absolutely ballistic
It turned into me having to call Providence PD 3 times that night. They have him a ticket. Even though he punched, kicked, spit, on my door. Yelled threats, threw stuff at my door and ripped a stairs railing out of the wall. He than decides to hit my floor with a broom or something until 10:30 am. This all started the previous night at 11:30 pm.
My girlfriend has very serous and intense anxiety. She is a absolute wreck and lives in constant anxiety, because the music and banging start at random times. My cat hides alot now. He never used to do that.
It just started again tonight. I calmly knocked on his door, asked his wife to speak to him. She said he wasn't home . I tell her "tell him to come see me when he-"
She cuts me off with yelling and insults. I don't speak Spanish, it was half English half Spanish. Anyway, considering her husband is most certainly not a man, he gets home and starts punching doors. Yelling screaming. My girlfriend covers her ears in our bedroom, terrified.
I don't care about me. I don't care about my safety or my sleep. I care about her safety and her sleeping. We are that weird couple who loves our pets very much. So to see them like this...it's been fucking with me alot. I feel powerless, like I can't protect them. This has been very heavy on my mind and shoulders.
Anyway , as of typing this, they literally left the house 3 times to pick up people to have a makeshift party. Which is what they are doing right now. My girlfriend just left in a Uber to a friend's house as she is on the verge of a full blown mental brakedown.
And I'm just sitting here, waiting for anything to happen...
The landlord. He kind of is powerless in this situation. The only thing he can do is threaten to now renew their lease. But obviously we aren't talking about the brightest people. He's also out of state. Amd quite frankly seems annoyed with updates, questions, or news.
Obviously we are looking for a new place. We have been together for almost 10 years. No kids no drugs, we don't drink. No blemishes on credit scores like evictions. Never have been evicted. No criminal record of anykind. All that good stuff
Looking for a place has been very difficult and frustrating. We have the money, money is not the issue right now. Right now the problem is alot of people are looking, so if someone applies for the same place we do and they have a slightly better credit score, or no pets, make more annually we are instantly taken out of contention.
If you, or someone you know, had a studio apartment, a 1 bed room, a in-law apartment, a finished basement, garage, attic etcetera I don't care, and are interested in a very easy $1,500-$2,000 a month, please DM me so we can talk.
Haye shoveling snow? Haye raking leafs? I'll do it. Not to kiss ass, but because I used to enjoy that kinda thing when I lived in Warwick. Can't do yard work in the concrete jungle of Providence.
Want references? Absolutely. Want background checks? Absolutely. Want me to legally sign over my right kidney to you? You got it.
We can only stay 6 months- a year? Absolutely. Just please help us get out of here.
I'm a Chef for a restaurant on Federal Hill. My girlfriend is also in the restaurant industry. We mind our own business and very rarely is never have or even want company. Simple, polite and eager to give you money. Want first month and a security deposit? Again, Absolutely.
Obviously, if you are interested we can DM, text, or talk on the phone for more details.
