Harassment by neighbour lady

This query is : Resolved
Dear sir,
I am a monk staying in a rented house since Oct 2015. The adjacent house has a lady living there with her son and father-in-law. Her husband is rarely seen at home.
For 7-8 months since I moved in, I used to frequently hear the woman screaming unspeakably filthy abuses at her father-in-law. She also used to fight other men.
There also used to be sounds coming from their house late night. I found it disturbing and suspicious. One night around 11pm I stepped out to see for myself as to what was going on. I found her 16yr old son letting somebody in. When he saw me he was flustered and ran away. This happened about a month ago. The very next morning the lady and her son were abusing me. It went on for a couple of days. I didn't respond. After two or three days she asked me when I was going up my stairs, " do you have a problem? Why do you keep looking in our direction?" I didn't reply.
I reported the matter to my landlord who doesn't live on this property. He went over and spoke to her. She said "he is looking at us always. Thats why we do this." After this she started making threatening gestureslike staring at me menacingly if I looked in her direction. She is walking on her rooftop for 3-4 hrs ever evening n constantly talking on phone.
Finally we made a police complaint. She refused to go to the police post. And we refused to go to her place. Police brought her n her son etc to my place. An agreement was drawn n signed by all of us. It says we are sorry for the childrens behaviour n will not do it again.
The question is Can she make a false allegation against me? I am so scared and planning to move out.
Regards
Prasanta

One can always lodge complaint against another. There is no foolproof way to stop this.
However to avoid this I would suggest you to install a spy cam at your door step and common place so she may not raise false allegation of molestation.
Stick to your complaint and inform the police whenever you find anything fishy.
If you find a better place then do move out.

It seems you have no personal attachment with the place or any ego related to the place. Better move to some other place for mental peace and to concentrate in your goal.

No attachment to the place or people. The landlord is an old acquaintance dating back to my years in the ashram. Thank you sirs for the helpful replies.
