Today, an ambulance took away the woman from next door. I thought that the flat was empty since I’d never seen her, but turns out she’d been dead for 2 years. She died in bed, meaning every time I went to sleep in my bed she was only 2 feet away on the other side of the wall. I’m now super creeped out. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after three days of getting stared at by my neighbour from the window, I realized that she wasn't alive anymore. FML
Today, I found out that for the past 6 months I have been sleeping next to a dead body. The cremated body of my landlord's father. It was hidden inside a wardrobe that I was not supposed to use. FML
Today, I was painting my new house when my neighbor introduced himself. Mid-conversation, he said, "The lady who lived here was nice, but just couldn't get over her husband hanging himself in the garage. Or her son shooting himself in the basement." I'll never sleep again. FML
Today, I received an email from the office of the apartment complex I moved into two months ago. Apparently, a woman a few apartments down from mine was murdered. Time to pack. FML
Today, my downstairs neighbor died. I knew because the smell wafted up to my apartment. FML
Today, I found out I was getting a new bed for my room. Then find out it was my great-grandmother's. The one she died in. FML
Today, less than a day after my cranky downstairs neighbor passed away, I woke up to banging sounds against his apartment ceiling, like the ones he used to make whenever I walked around during the night. I'm shitting myself in fear. FML
Today, I was cleaning one of my elderly patient's teeth. After finishing and reminding her to floss, I realised she had died. Supposedly she was dead for a good 20 minutes. FML
Today, after moving hundreds of miles to take care of my beloved grandmother and working like mad for a week to make the house cozy and accessible for her, it was finally time to bring her home. Or it would have been, if she hadn’t died in her sleep last night. FML
Today, I found out that I bought a house next door to crazy people. She asked me if I would mind not showering when her husband is at home, because he can hear me and knowing I’m naked on the other side of the wall turns him on, which is a nuisance for her. He’s unemployed. He’s always at home, the creep. FML

Poor woman, sad no one noticed for two years.

And there was just never a SMELL? How did the landlord not notice her rent not being paid ~24 times?

historically, in cases like this landlords have just waited until the automatic rent payments stop coming in, then investigate.

Maybe she had automatic rent payment. As for the smell... Good question. If she had her windows open and the outside was dry, she might have mommified into place.

Or she was the owner of the flat. I’m surprised no one noticed her mail overflowing from the mailbox and indeed that no one smelt anything.

It's not like her ghost is going to come and strangle you in your sleep. The chances of that happening are only about 70%, 75% tops.

this is pretty common in countries that have all payme to made automatically. many times it is discovered when the bank runs out of money (inflation expenses draw more out than pension can put in).

When my wife and I got married we moved into her deceased mother’s condo. Our bedroom was the very bedroom where her mom had died years before. It had been rented out for a couple of years. I’m not excessively superstitious, but I did worry a bit about mom coming back to “visit”. Nothing unusual ever happened. OP, I understand that this is a bit scary, but if neighbor died two years ago and you never knew, there’s not going to be anything negative now unless your imagination goes into overdrive.
