You definetely need to talk to the neighbor- but be very careful as to how you approach her.
This is an example of what's recently happened to me:
I'm a dog owner, and I was walking my dog when he stopped to lift his leg on a tree. Well, apparently a neighbor's son likes to play there (which I had no idea about), and the neighbor just happens to be getting out of his car- and he screams out "Godd****t!" And then he comes over and was like "i wish you wouldn't do that, blah blah blah". <-Definetely not a good idea to act this way.
If he had actually been nice and had just said "ma'am, my son likes to play around this tree, and i would really appreciate it if you'd keep your dog from going on it" or something like that- It wouldn't have been a big deal. I could see his point (although he lets his kid play next to a parking lot where ppl like to speed instead of playing in a on the other side of his apt. where there's no traffic, but whatever) and I would have no problem with it. Instead though, he decided to be really rude (I mean seriously, does that warrant him cursing???? What tree HASN'T been pissed on at one time or another) and considering I was following all of the rules in the agreement with my apartment complex, I make it a point now to actually get my dog to relieve himself there!
So definetely just try and be as nice as possible, like "i know you're spending more time with your boyfriend, but would you mind....", that way you seem understanding, and it won't make the situation worse than it already is.
