I thought he was moving in October
I’ve been dealing with an annoying neighbor for over a year. He used to wake me up with his alarm. That has since stopped but he’s louder than the other neighbors that lived there before him. Honestly, I never heard them at all. Granted some people are more quiet than others. But, I also think the thin walls play a role. So, when October came I was for sure he would have been moved out or evicted because the property manager came to his door asking for rent shortly after he moved in which was sometime in October. Than, maybe a few months ago there was a note left on his door. So, I assumed he’d been gone my now since it’s been a year. I can’t imagine they will allow someone to renew their lease if they have noise complaints and past due rent. The irony in all of the while I was waiting for him to move I should have moved. I just was hoping this would be the last month dealing with him.
Just wondering how I got here

Landlords are reluctant to evict anyone during COVID. That's part of the problem. The other part of the problem is the eviction notice. Take a look if you can to see when it was issued. The person typically gets a 60 day reprieve to pack up and get out. After that the landlord can bring in the sheriff to actually make the person psychically leave.
In the meantime you could write management about his behaviour and how it's negatively impacting your life and that of your neighbours through the thin walls at all hours. If they get enough letters or complaints in writing they will have to address it somehow.
Why should you have to move? This isn't on you. I would stay put because your rent is set at a certain rate and if you had to move right now you'll find that the rates are sky high and difficult to meet each month. This situation looks to be a temporary one that will have a resolution soon. There's no way management will put up with him if they've given him a ton of warnings of what is to come.
Also, you could try slipping a letter under his door anonymously indicating that people around him can hear everything from his apartment and that it's affecting people who have had enough and indicate that management has been approached. This might make him think and or tape it to his door in a card. Just make sure he doesn't know you did it. You don't want that happening.
I would wait this out because it looks like he's going to be out of your hair soon and longterm you need to stay put for financial reasons in a place where your rent isn't going to rocket up due to the market.

You got "here" by waiting and hoping and expecting what failed to materialize. Its sometimes difficult to get rid of an unwanted tenant, because of laws.
And perhaps the manager or owner also had hopes of improvements. At least, they didn't have to worry about being disturbed, like you did.
So, the question remains: what do you wish to do now? And what are your options? Good luck, Dr. Stephanie

There is no question from you and I am guessing this is the way you've chosen to vent your feelings. So, hoping everything turns out for you.
