a) tell the apartment manager so they could deal with it

b) talk to the person who you think is the victim and try to help them get out/offer them a place to take a break/let them know about the resources for escaping domestic abuse in your area & call the national domestic abuse hotline to ask for advice on how to handle the situation that keeps you safe and in a way they won’t find out it’s you.

c) Call the cops, since you know, you think someone is getting assaulted and/or it's at least a noise violation?

d) try to move in with your on-again-off-again romantic partner who is living with two other people and a dog that doesn't like you without asking

e) do litterally any thing else (write a carefully worded note? Play really loud music? Play porn really loud to confuse and distract them? Pull the fire alarm? Go outside and throw pebbles at their window from the dark where they can't see you? )

b, maybe c depending on ethnicity and if it really seemed like someone was in immediate really bad danger (presuming I was not offered a better solution by the hotline in from b.......)

actually, let me expand d a little:

d) try to move in with your on-again-off-again romantic partner who is living with two other people and a dog that doesn't like you without asking, just you know, start staying there with no discussion and then the second night be like, 'hey, just checking that it's ok that I keep coming over every night until I get a new place?'

The same two people that your partner asked to help you move a year ago, and they did help a lot, including the use of their truck and them doing almost all the heavy lifting, these two people who don't know you at all, and you barely said thank you and didn't offer the traditional beverages and pizza?

And who have a terrible opinion of you because of the way you treat their housemate? And have a terrible opinion of you because of the way that you really seem to use their housemate and then break up with them when the housemate starts feeling like there might actually be a romatic future, repeatedly?

oh God I was hoping this was not a case of "someone I know decided D was the correct option"

nooooooo

Who have seen you eat an entire lovingly created meal by your romantic partner without saying anything positive or thanking them at all?

Who you completely ignore when you do come over? Who you told that the reason why you had to move a year ago is because you were staying in a house and the other people were on the lease and you were not, and one of the lease holder's friends HOUSE BURNED DOWN

and started staying there after a discussion and you didn't like that, so you complained a bunch and tried to kick the HOMELESS person out, meanwhile you were having your romantic partner over litterally 6 out of 7 days of the week for weeks on end?

and you told this without any hint of realizing that gosh, maybe you made a tactical error/were a jerk?

I'm having a lot of feelings right now

My dog doesn't like you, I don't like you, you are witness to abuse and doing nothing to even try to help?

while aknowledging that it's so bad that you don't want to stay in your own apparetment that is a floor down?

And it's not even Kaigo- they just told us that Pepper tries to keep them from leaving the bedroom and going into the rest of the house when we're not around. That's not a thing that Pepper does. Granted, Pepper probably has a good idea about how I feel about this individual, but still.

yeah, um..no. it's not ok they keep doing this, actually. no.

d????? d?????????????????????

yeah, I'm pretty frustrated with our housemate at the moment

yeah, I'm pretty frustrated with our housemate at the moment

and when we said no, they asked for reasons so they could tell partner and partner wouldn't think it was personal. And well, it's personal. Because they suck ass. And are shitty. And abusive. And take and take and take. And don't say things like 'thank you' or ever express any iota of indication that they realize how much people are doing for them.
