What's the worst monster you've ever had for a neighbor?

When my wife and I moved into our house in the summer of 2019, the neighbors on either side of us warned us about the people renting the house directly behind ours.

Apparently, they'd been known to cause trouble and blow things way out of proportion, bordering on paranoia of everyone around them. We kept it in mind,
