This Couple Gets Revenge On Their Horrible Neighbors By Buying Their House

Finally, she got her revenge. She held the paperwork in her hands, and they were going to get what they’d deserved all these years. Keep reading to find out the whole story. 

This is a couple who had worked hard all of their lives and never spent much on themselves. They saved as much as they could with one goal in mind, a home in Hawaii. To the Swansons, reaching this goal together was the culmination of many years of planning and dreaming.

As they moved their possessions into the house, they imagined many years of blissful existence, traveling around the islands, and having family and friends over to visit. So many people from their hometown were planning to come and stay with them, and they couldn’t wait to host everyone.

The playset seemed pretty easy to disassemble, and it was one of the first projects they added to their list for the new house. Emily figured that the two of them could take care of it themselves, or they’d hire someone to help them.

According to Tanya, the playset was the property of Tanya’s children! She told Emily and her husband that they had no right to remove it. And she was not pleasant about the issue – her attitude was combative and rude.  

So Emily informed Tanya that the landlord had said that it was perfectly fine to remove the playset. When Tanya heard that news, she had a reaction that was so incredibly rude, that the Swansons were shocked. It was at that point that they knew they had a problem. 

Tanya stalked away, but the Swansons could tell she was not satisfied with that answer. Her body language and facial expression belied her anger and resentment. Frankly, the Swansons were worried about what Tanya would do. And they didn’t have long to wait. 

Emily knew what was happening. This was Tanya’s way of taking revenge on the Swansons for the playset problem. Emily couldn’t believe how rude and childish Tanya was being, and worried about how she and her husband would cope with Tanya’s behavior and attitude going forward.

Emily and her husband stayed up until the party was over, seething with anger over their neighbor’s behavior, and worried about how they were going to cope with this woman. The Swansons didn’t want to start a confrontation, but they figured that they had to.

As they sat in their living room enjoying the relative quiet, someone walked into their house. It was one of Tanya’s guests who decided to enter their home uninvited. The Swansons were shocked.

The young man then explained that Tanya told him that she owned the whole property, including the house next door, and that he could use the restroom there. He proceeded to walk through the house looking for a bathroom while the Swansons watched in amazement.

Tanya rushed into the Swansons’ home shouting, “How dare you try to make me look bad!” Emily had never heard such inappropriate language from a supposedly grown adult. Her mouth hung open listening to Tanya’s ranting. She could not figure out what was wrong with this woman.

And that wasn’t all she said. She ranted and raved that the Swansons didn’t deserve a big beautiful house, and shouldn’t even be in the neighborhood. The insults and screaming kept coming with the Swansons listening in disbelief. 

If they were going to stop Tanya’s ridiculous behavior, they needed to plan. In the meantime, they had work to do in their new home. They decided to add an outdoor kitchen and fire pit to their backyard and got busy with that project.  

One day while they were working outside, they heard Tanya’s voice calling to them. She didn’t sound angry, for which the Swansons were grateful, but they were very suspicious of anything she said.   

After Tanya heard about the plans, she got a weird look on her face. Emily thought to herself, “She’s planning something and it isn’t going to be good.” They knew that this woman was conniving and angry, and didn’t want them living next door.

The party was massive, extremely noisy, and went on for hours. Tanya was trying, once again, to make the Swansons miserable and hopefully chase them out of their new home. Her strategy might have worked with another couple, but not with the Swansons.

Emily was relaxing in her living room when suddenly she heard Tanya screaming. She had no idea what the problem was this time, but she was sure it had something to do with the changes the Swansons had made on their property.  

Tanya was absolutely livid about the barrier. She screamed and shouted at them for a long time, and the Swansons just stood there listening to her. There was nothing they could do but let her rant and rave. Then a new person showed up on the scene. 

He claimed that the Swansons were disrespecting Tanya, and that’s why he was trashing their yard. Emily and her husband thought they had seen bad behavior with Tanya, but this was at another level. They had rarely come across such abusive and harsh behavior and frankly were at their wits’ end as to what to do.  

Tanya and Billy kept up the horrific behavior, obviously hoping that the Swansons would move out. They kept holding loud, late-night parties, carrying on loud arguments, and disposing of their trash over the fence into the Swanson’s backyard.  

The problem was that Billy had a 30-foot fishing boat. This meant that Billy’s boat took up more dock space than was legally his and Tanya’s. Now the Swansons had another opportunity to clash with the neighbors. It seemed things were going from bad to worse.

The Swansons’ renters paid a monthly fee and were able to keep their boats tied up to the couple’s 30-foot docking area. Of course, they knew that Billy’s boat was too big for the docking area allotted to Tanya, but that was not their problem.    

The community where the Swansons lived had a local newspaper that included information about docking rentals. One day Emily read a negative review of the Swansons’ own docking rental space, stating that the couple was disrespectful. Emily may not have been surprised, but she was angry. 

Tanya argued that the Swansons had gone back on their agreement when they started renting out the docking space. Then she went to the police to swear out a complaint against them. The war between the neighbors had just been kicked up a notch or two.

What Emily found out was horrifying. While the Swansons were away, Tanya had called the family who was renting the Swansons’ docking space pretending to be Emily. She told the renters that they needed to move their boat. Then Billy brought his boat over and docked it.  

Never in her wildest imagination would Emily have believed that their dream retirement to Hawaii would turn out like this. Suddenly they were faced with harassment, police involvement, and the fear of losing their beloved, beautiful new home.

You can probably imagine Tanya and Billy’s reaction. They screamed at the police to leave their property and stop bothering them. They would not listen to the policeman, and treated him with abuse and disrespect.  

When the shouting didn’t seem to be working, Tanya and Billy took a different tack – stating that no one owned the water, so the property was free to anyone. They had taken a turn to the ridiculous at this point.

Instead of fixing up their home, they were fighting with this crazy neighbor, talking with the police, and living with tremendous tension every day. Surely this was not what they had thought their new life would be. How were they ever going to have that life? 

At one point, Tanya even told her kids to throw pyrotechnics at the Swansons’ boats. No matter how bad things seemed, there was always something worse waiting around the corner. The Swansons’ life was unhappy and stressful.   

Yet, as beautiful as their home was, and as amazing as it was to live in Hawaii, the Swansons seemed to enjoy life less and less because of their neighbors. They practically gave up hope that things would ever improve, resigning themselves to living with the situation. 

Neither Emily nor her husband felt they could take much more, but they kept trying, day after day, to ignore Tanya and live their quiet life. They still loved the scenery, the life in Hawaii, and the ability to travel to all of the islands and explore. 

But karma was about to intervene, and hope was going to build. Even though the Swansons didn’t know it, they were about to experience hope once again. As you are reading this, we’re betting you are waiting to read some good news by now. 

It seemed that there was a chance for Emily and her husband to have some peace, and Emily was incredulous at the idea that this nightmare might be over. All she wanted was for this horror to end and to go back to a normal, happy life. Could this be what they had been waiting for?

In particular, the landlords said, they no longer wanted to deal with tenants, especially tenants like Tanya. It was pretty obvious that Tanya’s obnoxious behavior, resulting in constant calls to the police, had driven the landlords to want to sell.    

Emily and her husband discussed the landlord’s proposal. The two of them had to figure out if they could go along with this crazy, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it didn’t take them long to come to a decision.

After hearing this proposal, Emily and her husband didn’t hesitate very long. It was a terrific solution, and they could certainly afford to make the purchase. To have their nightmare end in such a wonderful way was beyond belief. 

For years, Emily had wanted to have her parents come live with her, and this was the perfect opportunity. She imagined how wonderful it would be to have her parents live next door, and was so excited that she told the landlord to start the paperwork.   

Never did they imagine that the new owners would want them to move. After all, they paid their rent on time and considered themselves good tenants. In their minds, they would continue to live in their duplex for many years to come.

With a feeling of great relief, Emily knocked on Tanya’s door and presented her with the paperwork about the new ownership. She also demanded the rent for the month. Tanya and Billy were shocked and had no idea what was going on. Emily couldn’t have been happier! 

When Tanya and Billy saw the raised rental fee, they knew they’d have to move. They simply could not afford the higher rent. This was the moment the Swansons had been patiently waiting for – they were finally going to be rid of their awful neighbors.

Her mom was sad that her own daughter had behaved so badly, and had brought shame to the family. We don’t really know what caused Tanya to behave as she did, only that she caused pain and anger for many people she encountered.  

Tanya has highly embarrassed by her mother’s admission. Imagine your own mother apologizing for the woman you’ve become. Emily was also shocked and felt sorry for the older woman, obviously highly embarrassed by her own child.   

What a contrast between mother and daughter!  Emily felt pity for Tanya’s mom, who clearly had no idea how her daughter became such a vicious, rude individual. Yet the two older women enjoyed one another’s company so much, it didn’t seem to matter.

Nevertheless, the two new friends continued spending time together and learning more about each other. For both, it was refreshing to have a new buddy, and they looked forward to getting together and chatting. For Tanya, this was yet another reason to be enraged. 

The Swansons were so relieved and grateful to their landlord for coming up with the idea of selling them the property. Ironically, the end of the story was totally Tanya’s doing. Her bad behavior led to the landlord being fed up with her.  Because of her actions, she was kicked out of her home.

Sometimes, however, a neighbor can make your life a living nightmare. Luckily for this couple who stuck it out for years, the final outcome was even better than they had hoped. And as a bonus, they gained a new friend. This was paradise, indeed.
