since he's being all formal with his notices, I do think you should be official, too. It's pretty hard to evict people, at least here in the states. My Legacy

First, I'd NEVER live in the same building with my landlord!  I don't think I've ever heard a good story from someone in that situation.
I think it's a good idea to file a complaint with the appropriate body, but in the long run, living where someone's out to get you -- especially if that someone is the OWNER of where you live -- is just not worth it. Start looking around for other accomodations, and find out if an early move that he effectively is forcing means a forfeit of your security deposit. Good luck. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Good News, everyone: (call me Farnsworth)
I just found out this morning I've been hired on a permanent basis with a new job. A decent new job, no less. So in the meantime the roommate and I have decided to stay with this location, but once I get my first paycheque I plan on opening a bank account to save up for a down payment on my own place. Renting is just all kinds of bullshit, so if I can have the opportunity to even buy just an apartment I'm going to take the chance. For the time being though, I'm keeping careful records of every incident in case I do need to report the landlord's crazy ass. I feel weird about it because otherwise he is kind of a nice guy, but I still don't need to have to put up with such stupidity from him. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

(1) Either the landlord does not like you and is trying to get rid of you; or (2) He figures you guys are the trouble makers when it's some other tentant(s); or (3) The landlord has a screw loose upstairs 
I would put a formal complaint into your tenant advisory board, or whomever. just to play devil's advocate 4) she's louder than she realizes Yup again. | |

I had a dialogue-driven movie on, not particularly loud, and I have no sound system but the tv's built-in speakers.
The roommate and I have stopped referring to him by name. Now he's The Noise Nazi. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

It's my damned apartment. Assuming I'm not actually being noisy, the landlord doesn't quite have the right to impose a bedtime on me. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Motherfucker is downstairs right now slamming his doors open and shut, and having some loud conversations with whoever he's got down there. Look who's being a noisy kid now! "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

I learned my lesson when I rented my first apartment in Chicago. Went out on my back porch to sit and have a nice cup of tea, only to look out into the garage and see my landlord "masturbating with a magazine." His wife was in the downstairs apt btw. From then on I made sure the landlord lived at least 20 miles away. "Let love be your perfect weapon..." ~~Andy Biersack | |
