The plant might be a Triffid...At least the cameras wouldn't be able to see inside the kitchen with the massive plant in the way.

FULL STORY: https://nltimes.nl/2021/02/22/tenant-ordered-vacate-apartment-howling-like-wolfTenant ordered to vacate apartment for howling like a wolf
A tenant was ordered by a judge to move out of his apartment in the expensive Amsterdam Zuidas due to multiple noise complaints from his neighbors dating back to October 2019. ...
The man was accused of making “loud, frightening cries” that at times sounded like a howling wolf.
At the beginning of last year, the tenant admitted that the accusations were true. During preliminary hearings, it was revealed that he suffered from vocal tics caused by a psychological disorder. He underwent treatment in a psychiatric facility and began taking medication.
For a while, it seemed as if the situation had calmed down, however, a few weeks later neighbors reported noise complaints to the police 13 times within three days. Sound-proof walls installed in April of 2020 also did not help alleviate the situation.
In October of last year the housing corporation Eigen Haard, asked the man to move ... This was not possible at the time due to the coronavirus pandemic and the tenant appealing that he wanted to continue living in the neighborhood.
Multiple residents sold their apartments and moved out of the building in the mean time ... In January, after complaints from residents that the tenant was “back in full force”, Eigen Haard took the case to court. A judge ruled that due to the situation not showing any improvement, the tenant had to vacate the premises.
Reminiscent of my post #104.A tenant in an upscale Amsterdam neighborhood has been ordered to vacate after all attempts to mitigate his noise-making (however medically based) proved futile...
Go Granny Go!
In the hands of the experts, opera is one of the most sublime art forms known to mankind. In the hands, however, of an angry pensioner with an axe to grind — and a parrot to sing along — it can become a weapon in a long-running dispute between neighbours.
A court has heard how 81-year-old Catherine Searle used her parrot as part of a campaign of harassment against the couple who lived next door.
Searle threw dog mess into her neighbours’ garden, scratched their car and encouraged her parrot to torment them with its singing.
Her victims described the bird’s operatic repertoire as “Chinese torture”.
Searle, of Seal in Kent, was caught on CCTV 38 times as she smeared grease over the bonnets of her neighbours Paul and Lydia Appleton’s van and car in 2018.

Her neighbours know too. The minute she slams a door the police will be there.She pleaded guilty to criminal damage and harassment halfway through the trial in December, and was given a restraining order and suspended sentence.
Defence lawyer Francis Conteh warned the restraining order was a "recipe for disaster", given their proximity as neighbours.
Mr Appleton said: "I think the sentence is a good outcome, she has been given a warning - offend again and you go to prison."
“A man [of only 45] has been spared jail after breaching a restraining order for a third time.”Her neighbours know too. The minute she slams a door the police will be there.
