Anyone who has ever lived in an apartment complex knows the gamble of getting new neighbors. Sometimes you hardly notice them. Other times, they make daily life miserable. For one woman in Charleston, South Carolina, a new female tenant next door brought months of chaos, foul odors, and neglected animals that turned the building into a biohazard.
In a TikTok video, the woman explained that her first impression of the neighbor came from her Ring camera, which captured the latter, half-dressed, screaming at her boyfriend in the middle of the day.
