Monday, two days after his death, it was taken off the market again.

During his two years in the high-altitude city of Lancaster, 70 miles north of Los Angeles, he’d been vacuuming with several people in the area.

A neighbor who did not want to be identified for fear of reprisal from his fans told DailyMail.com: “Aaron had problems with several neighbors on his street, at least three of them called the police.

“Aaron was just arrogant, he thought he was better than everyone else around. He would brag about having better vehicles and that his house was bigger than most in the area.

There was always a commotion coming out of the house with Aaron and his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Melanie Martin, arguing all day.

“Every few months we saw police standing in front of his house,” said the neighbor.

On several occasions Aaron locked Melanie outside his house, after a screaming match and she banged on the door and yelled “let me in.”
