I'm so annoyed!!!!

[Tillys_mom]

Our neighbors are terrible!!!!!! I've complained several times to our landlord about them. We live in an apartment complex and they live above us and they are so loud and inconsiderate. They stomp very loudly, their tv always over powers our voices, tv, radio, you name it, the husband and wife fight often and the dad is always either yelling or talking loudly to their baby. I can't take anymore of this nonsense!!!! I don't pay rent to put up with it. The landlord says she will take care of it, but obviously it doesn't mean a thing. There has been times they were fighting and stomping around and it woke up my husband and I or our baby. Tilly barks because they are so loud. Last year (yes, it's been going on that long) they were walking so hard that it knocked things off our walls, causing things to break. What else is there to do? I absolutely can't stand it anymore.

thats pretty bad to knock things off your wall. my daughter has the same problem and her lanlord says they will take care of it he never does .her and her husband is saving to buy a house.see if you could call the owner not the lanlord.

You could do one of two things..

1. Go up and nicely tell them that they are really loud and maybe they dont understand that it wakes your family up and makes your dog bark..and nicely ask them to quiet down. Also contact the board in charge of the landlord tenant act and see what you can do about your landlord...she HAS to do soemthing for you...and if she wont I would report her..

2. Call the police and tell them the neighbours are causing a disturbance and have the police talk to them..but I would go the first route first as you want to try and get along ok with them.

ARGGGGHHHHHH!!!! I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!!!!!

We live in a converted house. There is a seperate entrance to the downstairs and upstairs and it's now two apartments. We in the bottom one and the man above us drives me to complete despair!!!

The man who moved in a couple of weeks before me last year was great, so quiet and a really pleasant man.

We had a load of problems with our neighbour on the left of us and people on the street were ALWAYS complaining about her. She would have gangs of people hanging out on her front garden smoking, drinking, shouting and swearing and had no respect for others who live her. A neighbour confronted her once and she treatened to burn her house down so no dared say anything directly to her after that. She got kicked out eventually and then the street was nice and peaceful.

BUT... the man upstairs moved out and the upstairs was empty for a couple of weeks.

A man across the road who lives with his elderly mother, (his mother was one of the people who used to complain about the girl next door), moved in upstairs. I thought he would be really considerate to have above us because he's known what it's like to have neighbours who has no respect.

Let me tell you... this man, who is in his late 30s, is the MOST inconsiderate man I have EVER met! He plays his music so loud I can clearly hear it over the tv, he stomps about and has no carpet and the speaker in his flat is from a nightclub and is on the floor above our bedroom!!! He has young teenage lads hanging around him that are school age! I've said something to him about his music a couple of weeks ago because I'd literally had enough, the floorboards above me were vibrating, and he was really apologetic and couldn't apologise enough... then no less than 4 days later, he starts doing it again! My BF went to complain to him and this man threatened to hit my BF!!! We're more grown up than him at 25 (me) and 22 (BF) and he's just a kid!

So I understand and I can only imagine how is it with a young child too, (ours is due in January so I'll know myself then)... I completely sympathise with you... I know exactly how upsetting, frustrating and irrating it is.

I've hit the point now where I realise that there is nothing we can do except wait to move. I hope you have better luck.

One positive thing is we will only have to stay here another 6 months, that's when hubby graduates college. I don't know how to directly get in contact with the owner. I highly doubt they will care or even bother with their time.

I know what you mean. When me and hubby lived in an apartment the neighbors would sweep their floor at 3am. Of course you could hear it right through the walls.It was a duplex. They did not care we had to get up and go to work. I think they stayed up all night and slept all day. To get back at them, I turned our alarm clock on full volume and put it up to the bedroom wall with a pillow over it on our side and let it go off from the time we left in the morning until we got home. Their bedroom was on the other side of ours. After that we never heard the sweeper at 3am. I think they got the hint. Apartment life can stink sometimes. Hang in there.

I'm going to re-read our contract and see what all it says under the neighbors section. I think it says something about you have like so many offenses before you are thrown out. If she was doing anything about my complaints then they are probably on their last straw. I really don't think she called them. She is good with like clogged drains and easy things, but issues like this she stinks at her job. The people that live diagonally from us have a rotten little boy. He is always into trouble. One morning he went out and flipped our electric box switch and it shut off our electricity. We were freaking out when we woke up without power. Hubby went around and asked everyone that was outside if they had electricity and they all said yeah and we really got worried. So we called the electric company and they went out and said someone flipped the switch. As we went in the mean neighbor boy was sitting out in the hall, looking guilty as always, so we asked him if he flipped the switch and he said he and some other kids did. So we called the landlord and told her about it. They didn't say anything to the kid or the mom, just put locks on the little boxes. It's stuff like that when she stinks!

That is so funny!!!! Hubby and I should put romantic music up to the vents tonight. LOL I'm sure they would love that. I just don't want to be to loud because we like the people beside us. These apartments are suppose to be so "classy". LOL!!!!

Yep... I know. They treat it like a youth club because he'll let them drink and smoke cannabis up there.

Great post.

Try #1. If that doesn't work, try #2 (over and over again if you have to).

No one deserves to be miserable in their own home.

Oh don't you just love neighbors!!!! They aren't the most mature couple. They are about hubby and I's age, 21-25, and she was due with her baby the same time I was with Chase. We were so lucky to have childbirth classes with them. While all of us pregnant women were touring the hospital they were running the halls, punching each other.

BTW, congrats on the baby. My son will be 1 this January, I was in your shoes last year at this time.

LOL... they sound like a delightful couple. Why aren't you having them over for dinner regularly???

Does that mean Chase will be having a first birthday thread soon then?
