Most people don’t bother checking for where the source of the noise actually is.  One reason is that they have no idea about structural engineering and that, in some building designs, sounds tend to travel preferentially in certain directions and not in others.  But that’s never stopped anyone from complaining or for the apartment complex manager making rather rude inquiries.

Some people….ya know?

Have a friend in an apartment who got a complaint against her with a landlord because the neighbor below “could hear the cat upstairs walking around the apartment.”  I s~~~ you not.  I am talking about a 9 pound kitty-cat.  The f~~~ing neighbor complained about a cat walking.

People are f~~~ing nuts, and in both of these instances it was women who filed the complaint … predictably.

Yeah take them to court because the land lord can’t just kick you out without any proof. Did you get it a written notice?

I got a written notice, and right after I got the notice I received a text message from the neighbor asking me to turn my tv down because he doesn’t want to hear my tv anymore and this was at 1:30 in the afternoon. ..This f~~~er is there 24/7. I said no, and neighbor said he’s going to take it up with management. It is clear he’s trying to force me to headphones and I refuse to wear them for tv watching.

Here’s the deal, I don’t want to be a nuisance but I pay for this apartment as much as the neighbor pays for his and I don’t want to continually worry about tv volume.  I want it at a level I can hear it comfortably 24 hours a day. This will have to be settled with a SPL meter.

Drag them to court, let their asses know that you won’t take their b.s. there will be repercussions. Some people are just miserable with nothing better to do than cause despair.

Had a neighbor in Ft. Lauderdale once, bitch used to blast music late night with no regard for me or anyone, so I walked over and told her to turn it down, she does but then flips on the vindictive c~~~ switch. Then I started having random police officers knocking on my door, saying that they have a complaint of someone selling drugs at this location, each time I’d just say no officer and never open the door as I’m aware of my rights. Then the bitch would have her dog s~~~ around my property line. This woman was like the biggest taddle tale snitch on the planet. Drag them to court, let their asses know that you won’t take their b.s. there will be repercussions. Some people are just miserable with nothing better to do than cause despair.

It’s not them (guy and his girlfriend) I’m worried about. It’s the management company that’s giving me 10 days for compliance or I’m convicted. I can hear his s~~~ as I’m typing this. I’m going to go to the management company Monday and submit a written complaint that I’m being harassed for listening to my tv at a volume I can comfortably hear, and demand they come to my place to listen to it here and his apartment.

Go by the law and do not back down. You give someone the message that they can push you around, they will.

That’s the plan. I’m going to submit a written complaint for harassment and demand they come to my place. I don’t know if I can complain about abusing the elderly at 57 years old, but if I can I will.  I’m going to show them his text messages. At first I asked him when was a good time to turn my music up a little. He said 10am to 10pm although Washington state law and the lease says quiet from 10pm to 7 am. I got a text message from him the next night at 8:30 saying “I know I said 10 but it’s too loud now will you please turn it down.” I completely shut off my surround system a week and a half ago, and got a message a few days ago saying. “I’ve asked you repeatedly to turn it down, will you please be responsible and turn it down, I’m having to ask you too much. At 1;30 pm today right after the eviction warning he texted, “I don’t want to hear your tv anymore so please turn it down” to which I said no. I want to tell him to lose my number but want his text messages as evidence of harassment.. I have a SPL meter and am going to insist they come to my place to look at sound levels. In Washington state it’s 55 db during the day which is equivalent to a loud conversation, and 45 db at night which is a quiet conversation. That is what I’m going to insist we go by.
