I'm starting to feel scammed like a lot of others here. I had the LR4 for a while and loved it other than my cats peeing in the wrong places and making it smell. I decided because of the smell to go ahead and upgrade a couple months ago. The LR5 Pro's waste drawer sensor is all kinds of messed up. For some reason, all the waste is filling up at the back, but also, it gets so full that it scrapes along the top of where the drawers is and it's disgusting to clean. Soiled litter falls out as I'm trying to remove the drawer as well. All while the sensor says 76% full....

I'm not even sure this is something that can be fixed. I've tried resetting the sensor several times and it's still done this a few times in the short while I've had it. It causes obstruction errors and I'm concerned that feces has just spread around the machine from rotation at this point. Idk how they went from the LR4 to having issues like this.

Tldr: my neighbors dog goes insane at random hours between 11pm to 8am inconsistently. She denies it's her dog even though I can literally see it and I have video evidence. These neighbors have been consistently a nightmare, but its reaching a head. They are keeping us up and I just don't know what to do.

Me (31f) and my husband (31m) live in a neighborhood that has always tested our patience a bit, but nothing like the past year. We've lived here for 4 years. The next door neighbors are renting the upstairs apartment with 5 kids and a dog, lived there over the past 1-2 years, idr specifically how long.

They're a nightmare. They've fought outside to the point cops have been called (the husband is in jail now for DV now), got code enforcement called on us because they left trash on our curb, played bass so loud our walls were shaking, parked in our yard even after saying not too (over pipes and right next to our AC unit), and yell at their kids constantly. We have been understanding within reason, until they got their dog and tied it to a tree 20 feet from my bedroom window. Every time we've had an issue, we've communicated with them in a very polite and chill way. For the most part they have been nice when communicating in return.

Well last night that stopped. For 6 months, they have let their dog scream, whine, and bark at odd hours of the night and morning. It seems to be getting worse. My husband has horrible insomnia and we've even changed our sleep schedule in an attempt to manage this situation in a "our problem to fix" sort of way, but now there isn't even a consistent 8 hours that the dog is going.

I texted one morning the dog woke us up at like 6am and told her to please handle her dog (in a super nice way, not being a dick at all). She lied to me and said it wasn't her dog, I walked outside and confirmed it was hers and texted her as much. She said she'd handle it. It was okay for like a week, then it started again, my husband attempted to text and offer solutions, even offering to help move the dogs lead to a further tree. No response.

Then, past night at nearly midnight when we went to lay down for bed, it was going insane. I have a video that it is her dog. I texted for a 3rd time (mind that this has been over the course of more than a month), being a little less nice but not rude, just to the point. She went off on me and said her dog only barked twice and why am I not texting the other neighbors with a dog that barks (2 houses down and I honestly don't even hear that dog). Told me that the dog was only out for like 10 minutes, which is not true and that I'm basically being unreasonable (happy to post the texts for context if so desired). Talking about her dog is trained with paperwork or something, but IDC, that doesn't mean your dog should go absolutely insane at all hours. (Edit to add, she also said I keep texting her, but literally just been 3 times in over a month)

I'm at my wits end... My husband has slept so little in the past 6 months that I'm worried for his health. He's on sleep meds, wears ear plugs, we have 4 sound machines, blackout curtains with sound proofing foam in the window, it doesn't drown out this dog and even wakes me up and I'm a pretty sound sleeper. We have already talked to a realtor about selling, but due to unrelated situations, it may be at minimum a couple months before we can move. I'm empathetic that I assume she is a single mom now, but she has a roommate that helps too and that doesn't mean she can do whatever.
