Maybe the OP feels unease because it is security? Maybe his thinking is that security is there to "protect" them/their property and if security is doing this how "safe" are they. I do agree it is a strange complaint from the OP.

They need to quietly move.
It's not uncommon for "security" guards to be arrested along with perps when it comes to high-profile crimes like burglaries, robberies and murder in upscale areas of this country.

Why does businessdr write every single word with a capital letter?

I don't know the OP and I might be wrong, but based on experience, that might have to do with them being senior citizens and handwriting styles learned in the past which may have been transferred to the keyboard? I'm saying this as my grandmother is 89 and she has a very peculiar way of writing. Yes, on the keyboard as well, she has a computer... Same with my dad, used to write with a lot of caps...

Wow, I’m so sorry you and your wife are dealing with this. That must feel incredibly upsetting, confusing, and honestly, just unfair. No one deserves to be treated with disrespect—especially when you’re far from home and trying to build a life somewhere new. It makes me angry on your behalf.

Please don’t let this experience make you feel isolated or helpless. I know it’s hard, but you're not alone. Unfortunately, every place has its share of difficult people, but this kind of behavior doesn’t represent the Dominican Republic as a whole. There are many kind, welcoming folks here who’d be horrified to hear what you're going through.

If you're up for it, here are some things that might help:

  • Write everything down—what happened, when, who was involved. Even if it seems small, it matters. And if you can safely record anything, that could really help later.
  • Connect with other expats, especially fellow Canadians. There are Facebook groups, local meetups, and online communities where people share advice and support. You might be surprised how many people have been through something similar.
  • Reach out to the Canadian embassy. They’re there to help citizens abroad, and they may have resources or advice that could make a real difference.
  • Talk to a local lawyer, someone who understands tenant or harassment laws in the DR. Knowing your rights can be empowering, especially when you’re up against this kind of behavior.
  • If it starts affecting your peace of mind every day, please consider moving to a different place. It’s not giving up—it’s protecting your well-being. You deserve to feel safe and respected where you live.
  • If there’s a language gap, maybe a translator or mediator could help. Sometimes just having someone bridge that cultural or communication divide can calm things down.
Again, I’m really sorry you’re going through this. No one should have to fight for basic respect, and it’s heartbreaking that you even have to consider these steps. But you’re not powerless—and there are people who will stand with you. Please take care of yourselves.
