I Hate My Apartment Complex

[FunInTheSunParticipant 8283]

I live among three rows of apartments and there’s usually some loud argument between a woman and her boyfriend to the right and left of me once a month. The loud, rap-music playing neighbors next door moved out (HOORAY!). The woman who lived there had a thug boyfriend who would hit her. I called the police on them three times. I don’t understand how someone can listen to rap music at 8:00 a.m. in the morning! If I have the day off from work, I can’t get my beauty sleep. The property management company is probably sick of my complaints—they hardly answer the phone. You know those comedy movies with the apartment near a loud train? That’s me. I’m in a pathetic situation. I’m saving up my money and moving out of here in 6 months. I’m hoping my next apartment will have some better neighbors. One can only hope.

Man, I envy the rich! They can take a vacation on a tropical island and tune out this crazy world. Apartment living is not my style. Unfortunately, my choices are limited to my income. Sometimes I do stuff to create “white noise.” I turn on my fan & the loud hum drowns out the sound of people talking and kids playing outside.

My plan for the future is this:

I’m going continue to work and save up money for three years. Then I’m going to use a VA loan to get a small house in another city. I’m going to look for a job that’s less stressful and try to live a peaceful life as much as I can. I may have a few noisy neighbors, but at least they won’t be on the other side of my wall! I could probably soundproof my bedroom so I’d have some sort of sanctuary to retreat to after work. My long term goal is to buy my own land, and build a house far away from humans and their drama!

Occasionally I use an app called “white noise”. Pipe the output to my speaker system, crank it up, then top t off with foam earplugs.

might be worth a shot.

Go North brother!

Get a house in the country or a small town,usualy more traditional folk there and less crazies.

I moved to Northern Canada a few years back after I saw the cities turning into open sewers.
Not too many people want to live up here so you get tax breaks and better wages.
From a survivalist standpoint it’s also a good option
because if and when the gov’t should lose control you don’t want to be anywhere near a large pop and not too many people would consider coming up here,besides it’s easier to defend.

Don’t know where you are but if the States maybe consider Alaska.

Well, since the cops won’t listen. Perhaps you should give them a taste of their own medicine.

Get some speakers set up and play some Beethoven over their rap.

If the cops come to you, you can say you wanted to bring some “class” to the situation.

The only solution to apartment living is to not live in an apartment in the first place. I’ve been there, done that. I would never willingly rent an apartment again, even for free. I’d rather live with roommates (NO Women!) in a nice house than live by myself in some crummy noisy dangerous apartment complex. It would be one thing if apartments were actually cheap, but they’re hella expensive. Even dumps are around $1,000/month here when you can rent a HOUSE for $1,200, and a hell of a nice house for $2,000. With a roommate or two, it will be just as cheap if not cheaper than an apartment.

If you think that’s bad try living with black people. I’m not saying all blacks are loud, destroy property etc however there’s enough that do. I lived in some bad areas however with black it’s the worst I have ever seen.
I have a neighbor throws keys, bang on my wall, yell and scream at her kids, her kids destroy the wall by hitting with an object.
I think I’m going to buy some liquid sugar and put it right on their door so they can get coach roach infestation. I would reapply every 2 to 3 weeks until they move out.

Oh yeah the woman for 4 years didn’t put the garbage down the garbage chute, she would leave it on the floor that would attract c~~~ roaches. Last year I had such a bad c~~~ roach infestation I had to buy two bottles of boric acid to kill them off.
Before then I suffer with 4 years with c~~~ roaches although the last year was the worst.

I hate apartment living as well. I’m currently living in an apartment with my parents and my dad comes home every month after work to take a week off. The thing I hate most about apartment living is the roaches. Before me and my parents moved up to this new place, we lived in an even crappier apartment with roaches in it. Sometimes, the roaches crawled up my bed and near my face.

Because of that, I developed a sort of phobia of roaches. I can’t even go near them without jumping back.

But, you know what else that sucks ass? Is that I’d actually be more comfortable with the roaches if I didn’t have to deal with noisy neighbors. I hate neighbors with a passion. The only time I could ever deal with them is if I got a better condo in the future and could soundproof it.

If I don’t end up getting a condo and soundproofing it in the future, what I plan on doing is building a small log cabin in the woods somewhere. I’d rather deal with wildlife than with other people (especially ones in the city) any day of the week.

Boric acid works with roaches. I got rid of them within a week all you do dust it everywhere then vacuum or clean it up. I let mine sit for 5 days to make sure to get them all. This year I only saw 2 so far.

I can understand your sentiment because I have lived in a predominately black neighborhood before. Most of my neighbors were fine, but criminals started to infiltrate the area to the point where the good folks packed up and left. Whenever I visit my old neighborhood, I feel like a visiting stranger because everything has changed—except for the liquor stores. People need to get drunk just to cope with the misery of their existence, I suppose.

My apartment complex has both black and white residents that create noise and drama. This apartment complex is poorly managed, so I think some of the residents get the idea they are free to do whatever they want. They even have loud parties on the weekend. I’ve complained about this stuff at the management office and the lady behind the counter just nods her head and says, “Okay, I’ll tell them to be quiet.” I don’t think she has that much authority. I think she’s just a worker bee. The owners of these buildings are probably drinking c~~~tails on some Caribbean island as I write this. They could care less about my situation.

If there was an on-site manager here, this nonsense would be shut down real quick. I chose to move here last year because the rent is cheap, but now I’m willing to spend a little more for a better-looking apartment. Some people even have small houses that rent for a price that’s comparable to apartments, so I’m going to look at those options next year.

I once lived in a place in which on the other side of the paper thin wall of my bedroom I could hear the couple’s baby cry all night while they f~~~ed all night… I am glad I moved out of there before baby number two.

As a property manger I deal with these sort of complaints all the time and it is such a pain but a part of the job. Calling the police is pointless unless it is something violent taking place or you need proof regarding the noise as this is necessary for court so they have a police report. The only thing we can do is give the tenant or resident in question a written warning, after 3 warnings we have a case we can start the process of removing them from the building but it is costly and time consuming and most property mangers will not do this just because of noise. If they don’t pay their rent on time we have a better case in court otherwise proof needs to be brought to show just how bad the tenants are. The burden is on us to prove these transgressions are taking place and that takes time and money.

My advice before renting in another building is if the inside looks like s~~~, smells like s~~~ (like drugs or cat pee) the tenants are s~~~ and the property manger and superintendent is lazy and s~~~. Check the garbage shuts, look outside to see if the garbage area is clean and if the grounds are kept clean, if it isn’t run. You will see thrown out furniture outside don’t worry about that it takes a month sometimes for garbage men to pick it up so don’t worry to much about that as long as the area is clean elsewhere.

The bigger the building the worse it gets inside and out. Look for a smaller building with few tenants or a condo with few residents. Also this may sound weird but it is true the lower floors are the worst, the higher you rent up in the building the chances are you will get better neighbors this only applies IF you have to rent in a high rise area otherwise stick to 6 story building or smaller. Hope that helps.

Get some headphones and dubstep.

Believe me, I know the feeling of hating the place you live. I like to sit out on my front porch. But it seems I’m under constant surveillance. I mean wft is wrong with motherf~~~ers. I enclosed my entire porch in with bamboo blinds. For the fact to have privacy from this woman across the street. Because to be trueful I really don’t trust her at all due to the way she’s acted towards me in the past. So the other day she comes over to give me a bag of cookies. and to let me know that she can see through this one spot of the porch if my lights on. Just in case I’m sitting out here naked. Really WTF. I don’t even sit in the house naked. I mean what the f~~~ does she do sit over there and look for peep holes on my porch. If I’d go tell a woman that I can see in her house through the blinds f~~~ I’d have to be registered as a sexual predator. This is a woman that for months has went outta her way to avoid me. I just don’t f~~~ing understand it. I think she wants me to f~~~ her or something. But that s~~~ is not going happen.
