noisy neighbours and how to stay sane for the next couple months

Keep in mind the management company may just be shooting air up your butt!! lol Your lease is soon up and they want you to stay! Google the managements name and see what kind of reviews you get! Try apartmentratings.com and see what kind of reviews ur building got as well. cheers

That site is quite a good find Flames, however alot of the reviews are old but i have also found i can find yahoo pages etc with similar info. Good to know there are websites like this out there. As for management, well we should be getting our renewal notice soon, so its a moot point now. We have found a couple of communites with a very good rating that will take our dogs, and seems to be a nice area. we are hoping to go out there this weekend to get a feel for the places. we are trying to stick to townhomes 2floor flats rather than these multi family communities which are usually in older buildings that are definatley not sound proof.

When you live in an Apt, expect noise. If your hearing is keen, move into a house for more privacy. But depending on your economic status, some neighborhoods also offer really annoying people (yes, I'm referring to those with cars that will rattle and shake your house windows whenever their cars are in the neighborhood.)

Management will do NOTHING after your lease is renewed. They always greet you with nice and big smile when your lease is up for renewal and completely turn 180 degrees around the next day. And be careful about complaining against your neighbor. You don't know if they're mentally crazy!

Right now their noise might be annoying to you but you're still alive. Don't piss them off to a point your safety is jeopardized.

Since your landlord won't do anything about it, you may want to talk to them about breaking your lease, since it sounds like they aren't holding up their end.

The last place we lived we had some horrible neighbors too. Everyone that lived below us was awful, but the last ones were the worst. CONSTANT screaming and fighting with each other. Multiple people over at all hours of the day and night. During the last couple of months we lived there, we actually went away every single weekend to a hotel, just to get away from them and have some peace and rest. We spent way too much on our credit card because of it, but we were at wit's end.

Get out as soon as you can. Look for apartment reviews. Don't live on the bottom floor.

Bad advice! Try that and your credit will have a ding on it! I know someone that had a next door neighbor got killed after a daylight robbery. They contacted the management the next day and requested to terminate the lease early. Got turned down and still proceed to do it anyway. They got sued in small claim court and they LOST.

It's VERY HARD to prove that management company doesn't provide adequate security for you and the family. Read your lease contract carefully. The management already excludes "providing security" somewhere in there. All they have to do is providing some night lights and that's it.

This is noise we're talking about. VERY hard to prove the noise even exists.

Your post reminded me of our former neighbor who woke us up several times a week at around 3-4am groaning and moaning (both of them) and I one day asked the guy to closed his bedroom window coz their 'night time activity woke us up' he just smile sheepishly and after that we heard it fewer times and they moved out. Thanks goodness.

Um, I'd take the credit hit to move out of a place where people are getting killed next door. Just sayin'.
