That’s a really difficult situation and I feel for you. Both you and she deserve a home to feel safe and secure in but sometimes these needs conflict and there’s no easy way to resolve it. I don’t know what the solution is. If it were me in an ideal situation I’d move, but in this housing market… Doesn’t sound like there’s an easy way to soundproof your place from her outbursts either.
Stuck between a rock and a hard place. It sounds like keeping rent as is might be considered a worthwhile “compensation” for the difficult neighbour, for now at least, from the REA/rental provider’s point of view. They would know rental costs of units adjacent to social housing would go down…
I have an unintentionally difficult neighbour in summer - next door house has a severely disabled adult child who moans and bangs around a lot, very loudly. It’s a bit disruptive in the warmer months (and sometimes we hear the swearing/DV from down the street) but I’m very lucky that in winter with the doors and windows closed I can barely hear any of that. I would struggle so much in your situation

the housing market and low wages means people have fewer choices, fewer ways to improve their lives, it means so many lives are fucked
