CarrieLee said: So I'm all moved in and have almost everything all set up. Loving being in my own place by myself. There's just one issue. The bitch upstairs. She is a tiny tiny girl and is so friggin loud it's making me crazy! Apparently she has a dog and likes to throw loud objects around the house for him to chase. Last night she was banging around until midnight and then again at 5am this morning.
Sooooo...I left her a note! I was nice about it, but told her we needed to discuss the noise situation because it's starting to make me crazy! I said feel free to come and speak to me about it or I'll assume she is going to keep the noise at a respectful level. Think I was right for doing this? I don't believe dogs are allowed in the apartments so I didn't want to go and rat her out to the landlord. I thought addressing it this way first would be better. But now I'm having second thoughts and the deed is done. What do you guys think? As long as it was a polite, reasonable letter, it can only be a good thing, surely? We moved into a place once, and the neighbour mistakenly thought we had driven over his front drive with muddy tyres and basically gotten it all messed up. Rather than coming and finding out the facts and politely tackling the issue, he posted a note that was rude, factually inaccurate and also very badly written (the writing, spelling and grammar should've put his young kids to shame, never mind the guy himself) 
As U can imagine, it just had the result that his new neighbours were pissed off with him and a frosty atmosphere ensued. Plus he looked like a right dick when we politely explained, and proved, how it couldn't have been us to blame in the first place. Keep it polite, factual and friendly, you'll do fine. | |

I think it was polite enough. I pretty much just said that I live below her and I would like to discuss the noise situation. There was loud banging until midnight and then the dog woke me up again this morning at 5. I don't mean to be a crab but it's starting to make me crazy! If you would like to discuss this with me please come down anytime, if not then I will assume you will keep the noise to a respectful level. Thanks! Yay? Nay? | |

CarrieLee said: lovemachine said: The joys of apartment living
When I moved into my present place I specifically asked about the specific neighbors and picked an apartment which is on teh end and next to the laundry room so no side neighbors and the lady upstairs is older and makes virtually no sound. I refused to be anywhere near KIDS. She has been here forever and isn't likely to move. In other apartments it would seem that as soon as you got one set of neighbors trained a new group would move in and you would have to start over again. What do you mean by "trained"? Did you confront them about the noise? I just don't know if I did the right thing or not... If there is noise you have to go knock on the door and talk to them. It totally sucks and I always got super nervous and scared they were going to start a fight with me but it's the only acceptible thing to do. Or else get out the broomstick and knock the ceiling | |

I've always just notified the landlord when there have been noisy neighbors. Usually they will leave a warning note on their door. And if it happens repeatedly, most landlords will evict the person after the 3rd time or so. You never know how the neighbor is going to react, you could wake up one morning with your tires slashed or something. At least when the landlord leaves a note, they don't know which neighbor was complaining. | |

If my tires are slashed I will know it was her. And then there will be a war and I'll do much worse. I'm not worried about that...I'm more worried about her making more noise now! But she *seems* like she is a nice girl, I've bumped into her briefly when I was moving my couch. So we'll see... | |
