My neighbors are loud and inconsiderate...advice?

Take videos every day and email management every single day. Make a noise complaint with the city and or police. Your management has to do something. It took me 2.5 years dealing with crackheads above me before they were evicted and the new woman and her kid are just as bad. People have no consideration for others unfortunately.

File a complaint with management… take good notes, document everything…I know you don’t wanna call police… but you may have to make a public record with police…they will not disclose who called…and in mean time , be making plans to move ASAP… take police report to management ASAP… But if management won’t evict…ask management to move you to another apartment… but that would chap my A*s to be inconvenienced by lunatics…I would probably end up moving…:pensive::pensive:

File a noise complaint with the local police, use the non emergency number, call every time, also have your other neighbor call in complaints as well.

Im not one to call police. My first option is to talk to the ppl , if continues i go to management, but u have done all that so now i think its time to call police. Make a audio of the noise too. Police will shut them down. And if it continues, u continue to call. I cant stand ppl who don’t care about anyone else around them. I have no sympathy for them if they get fines or whatever comes of it. They need to learn part of life is being considerate. If u cant be considerate than u have no right asking anyone else to be towards you

Police ?¿? At night when it’s all loud… don’t you have a noice ordinance??

If the landlord rents the apartment right away they can’t charge you the $3000 that’s double dipping they tried to tell my mom that too she only orders $300

Call the police. Start with non emergency and if they don’t respond call the emergency line. Do not confront the person before doing this.

I’m in a similar situation, tried every way possible to resolve it. After 2.5 years and him coming over drunk and screaming in my face I started calling. After 3 calls he’s now able to somehow survive without constant music. The neighbor relationship will always be contentious for us because of this but it was worth it.

The loud music i understand you on but if you have thin walls they probably didn’t subfloor right. When they remodeled our buildings they did that and replaced the carpet with tile. Our downstairs neighbor used to come up and scream at us for stomping until I let him in and showed him why while talking shop construction wise

Seeing as it’s a apartment complex I would check to see if the breakers are in the basement(if it has one) and just shut the breaker off

My best friend husband a cop nothing cops do rent hard do I done in past had neighbor complain in condo I own they above me too close my place I had family she had nobody but her she loud I working from home had my own family no way be quiet not for me homes for me my family private property away from people don’t want drama own businesses good luck hopefully u can move can’t maybe sound  proof? Machine ear plugs so u won’t hear her

So sorry you are going through this I would call the police if the office won’t do anything

I have an experience with a downstairs neighbor, I hated living above someone, because I worked third shift, so I would sleep throughout the day and she was very rude and disrespectful she would yell profanities at my mother (mother lived with me before I switched to first shift) from her balcony and then claim that she was a woman of God, she would bang on the ceiling while I was sleeping, one time when I first moved in and had my balcony door open she heard me talking to my friend about witchcraft/wicca because my friend practiced and I was interested into it and wrote things about me being a demon on the walls between our stairwells, she also heard my mom and my husband talking about how he’s a felon with gun charges (they’re considered non violent because he was moving a loaded hand gun from one location to another) and she wrote on the stairwell again stating he was a murderer, about a month before I moved, she was having a fire on her balcony (which was against our lease) and burnt her balcony down, then got kicked out because of it, and you bet your sweet ass the minute I seen her I laughed at her and told her karma was a bitch, and that God don’t like ugly, afterwards my husband and I moved in with his mom temporarily and just recently purchased a double wide.

Yes i had this had council meetings i logged it wrote it all down but council done sod all

I was in property management. I’m having hard time believing that management is doing nothing, but all I can do is take your word.

You need to do these things:
Call the police and ask for the officers card or contact info to give to the leasing office as proof that police were contacted.
Document days times and how long the sounds last.
Record the sounds on your phone.
Have yoir neighbors do the same things.
Look in your leave where it talks about policies regarding peaceful enjoyment of yoir home/ noise complaints, etc.
Bring all of that Info to management.

You can also contact the management company to escalate this. Or ask the office to have their regional manager to contact you.

You need to peovide evidence to office…otherwise it’s difficult for them to help you with just your flopping gums.

Go over the apartment managers head. Document every time you make a report & what was done.

Find out the noise ordinance hours & start calling the police.

Figure out their sleeping schedule and bang a broom against the ceiling. For an hour straight.

Definitely keep complaining. Record it if you can and also I own like three of these Including hats! I use them when my neighbor upstairs too ours her effing heels on and never sleeps which sudhs Cuz other then thwr she is the perfect neighbor

Unpoplar opinion but honestly you just have to deal with it, you say she stomps around early getting ready for work, well nothing you can do to prevent that unless you want to pay their bills so she can stay home
Your main complaints are that they’re young and have loud sex at night
You can call the police every single night but they can’t and won’t stop them from enjoying their escapades and neither can the management
The more you complain the louder they will be in retaliation until you are able to move
Maybe order some of those spacers for between their bed and wall to lessen the banging and have them shipped to their apartment

If you have the managers mobil ring him every night at 11.30 and again at 5 every morning he won’t be long sorting it when you keep annoying him tell him your ringing him every time they wake u if ur up he’s up, inconsiderate neighbours are every where unfortunately give as good as u get :rage:

I live apartments when I was rent I own homes condo living they do nothing hoa about money hard for u move I understand I had move I don’t like apartments too close each invaded privacy I had family too small kids need house everything expensive today glad I own homes mom myself wife working from home 30 years can’t stand neighbors I had neighbor call cops on me that woman rent above me she drama too close my condo said call dcf nothing any can do

Call police. I’m certain it would forcibly teach them to be considerate of the neighbors if the police start visiting them regularly for a noise disturbance. I know it would personally bother me if police started showing up at my residence regularly for noise complaints. Eventually, they’ll get fined. Then start blowing up management at all hours of the night with complaints of noise. Every time they wake you, call management.

Get some ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones and wait out your lease cause these things never seem to get addressed

So, don’t live in an apartment, your probably paying damn near what you would renting a house anyways. It’s stupid

Bother management until they do something. They will eventually if you bother them enough. Don’t stop until they do something, preferably move you to another spartment. Buy yourself some noise cancelling headphones.

*this reminds me of a story about my stepdad. Many years ago after he and my mom got married he was the maintenance man at the apartments we lived in. One night after he got home, we were eating dinner. The guy across the hall kept playing his loud music. After the second time of my dad going over and politely asking him to turn it down and the neighbor refusing, my dad had had enough. He gets up from the table, and my mom asks where he’s going. At this point we can still hear the loud music. Dad leaves. He comes back five minutes later laughing. And it’s completely silent in the building. My mom asked What did you do ? . He said I cut the power off to the guys apartment… :joy:. My mom just looked at him … he said Calm down I’ll turn it back on in a minute :joy:

I recorded the noise on my phone & had management listen to it. I don’t think they thought it was a big deal until they heard it themselves.

Call the police. Every time if need be. Probably a bunch of twerps

Gotta do their only fans at some stage :laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

Call the cops. Let them come to your site first so they can hear what you hear and it will take more than once or twice calling but in most areas fine can be issued and they the landlord can be told to do something about them.

If management isn’t doing anything find their higher up boss, call the cops, document and if the other neighbor is as fed up as you coordinate the calls where you are both calling anytime these events occur. Even if it’s daily/nightly.

Play religious music as loud as you can when you’re not home.

Start calling the cops. Eventually the apt will have to do something.

Noise ordnance is usually 11 in buildings like that

Order the noise machine off Amazon it blocks off all sounds

not once has anyone said for u to knock on their door and have a conversation…

They have rented to you an apartment. If the conditions in the apartment becomes unbearable, then they have broken the lease. In this case you should be able to move out without a penalty.
