Neighbor Shoots Into My Apartment

Card image cap

Location: Florida.

Neighbor shot through my apartment luckily nobody was home at the time but never even came to check if they hit anyone. Both law enforcement and the leasing office did not take it serious.

Came home from dinner only to find this waiting for us. Immediately contacted law enforcement who essentially came in looked at it walked over to the neighboring apt knocked on the door who of course did not answer and left.

I followed up with my local police department to get the report for my leasing office which they required before they could start there "process" only to find out the officers that showed up never made one... I requested they send new officers out to file a proper police report which they promptly did.

The report was made and a complaint was filed against the officers which shortly after an investigator reached out for follow up. The neighbor was not being cooperative and not answering the door even though there car was there. The investigator informed me that they had issued a warrant and would be going into the apartment at which point the neighbor admitted to shooting through the apartment and said it was an accident.

They were promptly arrested and taken away and with this information I went back to my leasing office to request they be evicted at which point they said we have a "process" and cannot speak further on the matter.

The neighbor has since made bail making for some awkward interactions. The leasing office has made it very clear they will not be evicting them and offered a relocation to a unit 3 doors down or I can break my lease at no cost but will obviously have to pay for moving cost and any upfront cost for signing a new lease elsewhere.

What are my next options?
