My question involves restraining orders in the State of: Oregon
Hello all.
I am in need of some advice on my current situation. Since I moved into my duplex this past July my neighbors and I have had our fair share of issues with parking. While my boyfriend and I park in our garage, as our lease says to do, the neighbors feel the need to park all of their cars outside of their garage and take up a large majority of the drive way. While I am fine with sharing our space, all of their friends and family members who frequently go visit them park in the drive way and sometimes even block our garage to the point where we can not enter or exit our own property. In the lease it clearly states that they should be parking on the street. We have asked them so many times, nicely of course, to please move their vehicle from our entrance and exit. The landlord is fully aware of the situation and has asked them many times as well to have their guests park on the street.
We currently have a family member who is staying with us for a month. He parks in the drive way but up against our house. We have permission from the landlord for him to park there. This has been a real problem for our neighbors. He is completely out of their way and they think they can tell him not to park their....while they have 2-5 guests parking in our way on any given day. Things took a turn for the worse the other night as our guest went outside to make sure they weren't blocking our drive way so that my boyfriend could pull in. My neighbors were all outside with about 5 guests over drunk and acting unkindly. They all rushed up onto our portion of the property and onto our porch and got into our guests (my father in law) face. One of the men was so close his nose was touching noses with my father in law. Him and his friends threatening to kick his ass, as my father in law calmly stood there with his hands behind his back waiting for them to calm down. Their entire family started drunkenly yelling at me and my father in law and tried provoking him to fight them and were cussing at us- all because we went to make sure we had room to get into our garage. My boyfriend later arrived home from work and they all started harassing him when he pulled up, trying to provoke and fight him as well. He went out there just to ask if there was going to be a problem and they all started cussing at him and harassing him as well.
The problems with them are not just parking but the crowd they bring around our place. They have a complete lack of common courtesy and think they are above the law. After about 30 minutes of them harassing us on our own property I went inside and called the cops. The drunk neighbor told the cops he wanted my boyfriend arrested for going up to them when he got home....
The landlord is trying all they can to get us out of here soon and to give them a written warning. But she knows and we know that if they get their warning they are going to retaliate on us. Now it has been 3 days since that incident and we cannot leave our house without one of the neighbors or their family members or friends harassing us. Today the girl reinstated how her husband should have "kicked my boyfriends ass" and other such threats. If we walk outside or pull into our garage they start yelling at us for who knows what and cussing at us and feel the need to call us names. We simply walk in the house and ignore them.
I guess my questions is, when does basic harassment turn into time to go to the police or attempt to obtain a civil harassment order? I am pregnant and home alone much of the time. I cannot walk outside to throw my trash out, walk my dog or get in my car without them threatening or harassing me or my family. I feel fearful to leave my house because I have no idea what they will attempt to do to my property or my dog. Our landlord said to keep calling the police and file another police report against them but the more we do that, the more they retaliate.
I am so stressed I am actually getting sick from this and it is not good for me or my unborn child. I need some help in what actions I can take to help protect me and my family.
