Grim note left on couple's door as they move into first home together sparks fury
The letter was not the neighbourly welcome message that most would hope for on moving in day.
Instead, the couple were threatened with 'eviction' after the anonymous author said the couple had 'already interrupted ALL of [their] neighbour's lives' - despite having been in their apartment for just 8 hours.
Posted on Reddit, the young couple explained that they had moved into their first home together this week and had returned home from dinner to find the note pinned to their door.
They had been moving in boxes from around 2-4pm and moved their mattress at around 6.30pm before heading out to dinner to celebrate the 'special day' which was the start of an 'exciting new chapter' of their lives.
But despite only moving boxes in for a couple of hours and having met other 'super nice' residents in the building who 'wished us good luck with the move', the couple had a 'damper' put on the special day by the nasty note.
The letter - signed simply 'ENOUGH!' - states:
'It's day one for you and you've already interrupted ALL of your neighbours' lives.
'Your disrespectful slamming doors, yelling, stomping etc will not be tolerated!
'This is a STRATA; with strata rules! Noise will not be tolerated', the note read.
It even continued with a threat of eviction to the new couple: 'Should you continue, there will be noise violation warnings from our strata then fines will start which can lead to eviction!'
It concluded: 'We've paid very good money to purchase these homes to get away from ignorant, disrespectful RENTERS! Read over your booklet of rules!
'ENOUGH!'
The couple were left 'upset' and said it 'really put a damper on what was otherwise a very special day for me and my girlfriend'.
They were left puzzled and hurt, having been reassured by their building management that they hadn't broken any rules and even apologised to by their landlord for the 'borderline harassment'.
One woman was a key suspect to the couple as the likely author of the note, as they recalled: 'We did notice a woman, probably in her late 60s, on her balcony staring right into our [apartment].
'We closed the blinds and she quickly went inside. When we left we noticed her staring at us from the window.'
They concluded: 'If I had to guess who wrote that letter my money would be on her, but I have no idea what she is basing these claims on. We don't even walk past her unit when we take the elevator.'
The post received 38k upvotes and over 8,000 comments in less than 24hrs, as people piled in with suggestions and shared their similar experiences.
People responded with outrage, with many telling the couple what they would do in a similar situation.
One user commented: 'Next time you spot her staring at you, smile and wave enthusiastically. 'Hi, neighbor!' :) :) :)
'Never acknowledge [to her] that you got a note. Introduce yourself and gush about how welcoming everyone has been. Then completely stonewall her for the rest of your tenancy.'
Another user empathised: 'God forbid you make SOUND while MOVING. Sorry you appear to have a nightmare neighbor already...'
Others advised the couple to get CCTV in preparation for more potential torment, with one person commenting: 'Get a doorbell camera. People are less ballsy to put notes if they know they're on camera.'
One person reacted: 'lol I would just go tape it back on her door!' and another said: 'I would frame it and hang it on my door. I'm not even kidding.'
Another user shared a similar experience: 'One time we had just moved into a rental about a week earlier and left for about three hours to attend a family birthday dinner.
'We came home to a really nasty note, because apparently our dog had been barking at the window overlooking the front/driveway.
'I hadn't thought about the fact our dog was stressed from moving and in a new place and probably should have crated her.
'But this note was so nasty, they were saying we shouldn't own a dog and that if they ever see her out, we'll be sorry.'
More stories emerged, including one user's 'miserable' neighbour: 'I used to live above a woman who would pound incessantly on my floor almost every time I walked around, regardless of what time it was or how quiet I was being.
'She once yelled at me to "shut the fuck up" because I was putting a bookshelf together...at 3pm on a weekend.

Terrifying shark attack is caught on camera as beast chomps giant bite out of surfer's board in horror near-miss
A SURFER has miraculously walked away unscathed after a terrifying shark attack at a beach in Australia. But the 13ft great white took a large bite out of his surfboard, laying bare just how lucky a near miss the man had. 6 6 6 Brad Ross had been out surfing at Cabarita Beach in New South Wales on Monday morning when the beast pounced. A video shared on social media shows him in the water enjoying the early morning waves. But in a horrifying moment, he can be seen thrashing around in the water before disappearing underneath. He fortunately manages to resurface and get out of the sea a few seconds later. Brad was then filmed showing the jaw-dropping damage the shark inflicted to his surfboard. A vast chuck was bitten out of the board, showing how lucky he was to have avoided a shark bite himself. The beast's jaws also broke the board in half - and stunned onlookers watched on as Brad displayed the damage. Surf Live Saving NSW told the news website that the Far North Coast beach had been closed following the shocking incident. A spokesperson said: "Just after 8am this morning the Surf Life Saving NSW State Operations Centre was alerted to an incident at the unpatrolled Cabarita Beach which was called in through Triple 0. "The surfer is unharmed. Moment shark battles stingray as shocked beachgoers watch from shore "Australian Lifeguard Service lifeguards were tasked and immediately worked with Council to close the beach and put up signage to warn the public not to enter the water." Aerial assets have been deployed to survey the surrounding area. But Brad's lucky escape is not the only shark attack to have been reported in recent weeks. A 16-year-old boy received serious injuries when he was bitten by a shark in June on the very same beach. And in the Bahamas, an American tourist was mauled by a shark while spearfishing on Sunday. The 63-year-old sustained "severe injuries" in the attack, according to cops. He was was attacked by the beast at around 1pm near Big Grand Cay. A police statement reads: "Police on the island of Abaco responded to a shark attack that occurred shortly after 1pm on Sunday 17 August 2025, near Big Grand Cay. "Initial reports suggest that a 63-year-old resident of the USA was spearfishing when he was attacked by a shark, sustaining severe injuries. "He was taken to the local clinic for medical assistance before being airlifted to the United States for additional treatment." 6 6 6

Mystery as 'Dancing for the Devil' star abandons millions of followers as social media account suddenly vanishes after feds raid TikTok manager's home
Social media accounts belonging to two dancers embroiled with a pastor's alleged TikTok dance 'cult' have mysteriously vanished after federal agents raided the church leader's home. Married influencers Miranda and James Derrick left fans baffled after their Instagram and TikTok accounts were suddenly wiped without explanation. The couple are known for their viral dance videos and content posted through 7M Films, a controversial Los Angeles-based talent management company set up by pastor Robert Shinn. They appeared along with Shinn as the focus of Netflix 's Dancing with the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult, a series examining allegations, which all deny, that his company functions as a cult. Shinn's home was raided by federal authorities on July 25 in connection with a probe into alleged sex trafficking, money laundering, and fraud. The Derricks' social media pages disappeared amid intensifying scrutiny of their affiliation with the pastor. Shinn is the founder of Shekinah Church - a Christian congregation based in the Tujunga neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. Shinn's company 7M Films has face cult allegations growing number of lawsuits and in the now-famous Netflix docuseries. The move comes amid intensifying scrutiny of the couple's affiliation with pastor Robert Shinn (pictured), whose home was raided by federal authorities on July 25 in connection with a probe into alleged sex trafficking, money laundering, and fraud In the May 2024 docuseries dancers families, including Miranda's, claimed their loved ones have been manipulated, isolated, and exploited by Shinn and his organization. While no arrests have been made, the Los Angeles Times reported that the federal raid on a Tujunga, California property tied to Shinn is part of an ongoing investigation. Miranda, 28, became the central focus of Dancing for the Devil, which explored how she allegedly became estranged from her family after joining 7M and Shekinah Church. The docuseries details claims of coercive control, labor violations, sexual and emotional abuse, and financial exploitation - allegations that Shinn, Shekinah Church, and 7M Films have all denied, People reported. Despite her family's public pleas - including a viral video and formal reports filed with the LAPD, FBI, and IRS - Miranda insisted in 2024 that she was not a victim and called the Netflix documentary 'one-sided.' In a since-deleted Instagram post, she denied being in a cult and claimed her participation with 7M was voluntary. Back in 2022, Derrick's parents and sister posted a harrowing video in which they claimed that they hadn't spoken to their daughter in over a year and that she was being held against her will by a church that was masquerading as a management firm Shinn has never responded publicly, but 7M Films previously labeled the Netflix documentary 'a slanderous work of fiction,' vowing to take legal action against what it called 'salacious lies.' Federal officials have not confirmed whether the raid is directly connected to the documentary or the lawsuits filed against Shinn. Shinn has also filed a defamation suit against several former members who appeared in the series. In response, the defendants countersued, accusing him and his wife of fraud, forced labor, and human trafficking. A trial is scheduled for October, according to KTLA.
