Paranoia is common, especially during times of high stress.
People are very quick to leap from paranoia to schizophrenia. Paranoia can be a symptom of schizophrenia, but it can also be caused by other mental illness, or it can exist on its own without a mental illness.

You could try recording what they say, and then comparing your impression of what you hear them say in your apartment with your impression of what you hear them say on the recording.
It's important to get help early.

- DanBC 6y agoWhatever you decide to do you'll want to try to get a recording. If you want to get law enforcement involved you'll need a recording. If you want to get whatever your local neighbour dispute resolution process is involved you'll need recordings. FWIW, most people have a poor understanding of auditory hallucinations. Ask someone to stand behind your back and talk to you. That's what hallucinations often sound like: a completely normal, real, voice that you hear like any other voice.
