A female resident in my apartment complex has been violating the lease in the parking lot near my apartment. I reported this to the leasing office but was told they could not do anything since I do not know the apartment number of the resident. I told the leasing agent, who is also female, that the only way I could think of to obtain the apartment number would be to follow the resident around on her walk until she returned home. I explained that idea made me uncomfortable. Nevertheless, the agent was adamant that they could not do anything without the apartment number of the resident.
Would it be illegal for me to follow the resident around on her walk through the apartment complex until she returned home? I would envision remaining 30 – 100 yards away, staying in the parking lot or on a sidewalk, and making no attempt to speak to the resident.
If that would be illegal would it be stalking or harassment or some other crime?
I also appreciate any suggestions on better ways to handle this matter.
For what it is worth, before I went to the leasing office I did speak to the resident once about my concerns with her behavior, but she continues. I do not know the name of the resident and have no interest in knowing her personally.
