Why did she cut her hair and the previous tenant?

In the film, no real reason is given. You got the feeling she just wanted 'something different'.
Script-wise, it was likely to add to Ro's soon-to-be ill look.
In real life, it was Mia Farrow's real hair. She had cut it, much to the director's dismay, before filming began so she had to wear a wig for a while.
Yes, the Castavets put a curse on Mrs. Gardenia. Mrs. Gardenia had decided to not associate herself with the coven any more, and that apparently did not sit well with them. So they cursed her.
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.

And more about Jews too.

Because being a jew is a fvking joke. It's not a nationality, it's not a culture, it's not an ethnicity, at the most it's a barbarian religion that should have been consigned to the history books, it's nothing. Being jewish is as substantial as me saying I'm a purple dot. They are the literal definition of a special snowflake. They are the same as every other beep in this world, but somehow they are different and unique because they are jewish, but what the fvk does that even mean? You can be latin, muslim, black, catholic, chinese, european, etc all of those are valid separate groups with their own identity, but what the fvk is it to be a jew?? You live in fvking new jersey, you don't have a religion, you are white, you are as much of an beep as anybody else but you're jewish?? What the fvk does that mean?
So I guess that answers your question, being a jew is a fvking joke.

I'm so glad that IMDb allows us a chance to see who we're really dealing with.

The novel adds a sentence to the letter fragment.
Ro reads it on the desk:
.not the intriguing pastime I believed it to be. I can no longer associate myself..
Where did it ever say Mrs. Gardenia suffered form dementia??
The coven put her in a coma.

Just because you interpret something a certain way, does not make it so.
Mrs. Gardenia had joined the Satanists but it scared her at some point, so she tried to leave. The coven did not like that, so they punished her.
And your sentence not only contradicts itself (proofreading before posting helps), but its incorrect.
The film is based on the novel, almost verbatim. So yes, the novel IS relevant.
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.

No it is not, it's a movie, I don't care if it's verbatim, the book is 1 billion % irrelevant. And I interpret it that way, there is nothing to say she was betrayed by the coven or something, maybe she was going senile.

I suspect you're trolling.
But either way, you're incorrect. Its clear the coven put the spell on Mrs. Gardenia, the same way they did to Hutch.
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have dealt with this same issue with replies on "The Stepford Wives" by Ira Levin. Some people insist the wives were not killed, there were no robots, or they were only temporary, while the wives were brainwashed and one gal even thinks the wives were given boob jobs. Someone else argues that Joanna fought off the robot and pretended to be a robot after that. Sheesh. Some viewers seem to interpret these older movies based on current times. People look for things that are not there and are certainly not needed. Ira Levin is so amazing and I find it crazy that people want to think the plot varied so much from the original book. Yes the coven killed Mrs Gardenia. Yes the robots in Stepford Wives took the place of the real women.

She also had the heavy furniture put in front of the closet that led into Roman and Minnie's apartment to block them out. She was scared of them or didn't want anything to do with them or both.

The haircut is also in the book. Some have suggested it's symbolically anti-lesbian propaganda to have a woman with short hair deliver the spawn of Satan because she is no longer a proper woman. I have no issue with this theory, but really haven't seen much evidence to back it up. _()_/

In the book she does the same thing: after running around shopping and doing errands she then goes to Vidal Sassoon to get a chic haircut. Remember, as the wife of an up-and-coming-actor, one who put a lot of stock on appearances, living in a plush apartment and having all the right connections, getting an expensive haircut at a stylish salon was not unexpected of his wife. Also, the short hair cut, stylish thought it might have been, added immensely to her sick, emaciated look during her first months of pregnancy.
