Our Landlord left us a warning letter about loud music and rowdy parties. Problem is,?

Question

my boyfriend and I rarely play loud music and don't ever have rowdy parties! She even went on to say, any more complaints and we'll be evicted! This is the first time in two years we've lived here that such a complaint has come up. Three nights earlier, someone had a rowdy party, WE even called authorities to see if something could be done to calm the situation.A second letter arrived the next day and this is puzzling. Is this a case of mistaken identity or are we being singled out? we can't help but feel a little harrassed! What should we do? Keeping quiet is like admitting guilt, at the same time we don't want to appear confrontational. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You need a response and it needs to be documented. Write a letter back. Please talk to your neighbors so they can identify that it wasn't you who was making the noise. Unless you have some reason to believe that your landlord has it in for you, they are probably reacting to other people's complaints or comments. If you called authorities, get a copy of the police report that states you were the complainent and that states the source of the noise. Don't sit on your hands here, or you'll get evicted unjustly and the next time you try to rent, it may affect your ability to get in where you want. You don't have to be confrontational, state clearly that you're sorry there's a misunderstanding, but you've got the name etc....of the persons who were making the noise, and that you notified authorities who documented your complaint. Thank your landlord for being attentive to noise complaints and express your gratitude because you also like living in peace and quiet. Send copies of neighbors statements and the police report. It'll also help if you do get evicted to prove that this individual singled you out unfairly.

Good Luck

Answer 2

Bring the issue to your landlord and if you have to, present her with a copy of the police report you filed complaining about the rowdy party that was disturbing you. She is your landlord and any problems, even with her, need to be presented to her or she will walk all over you. Maybe she is trying to find some way to evict you so that someone else can move in there. It happens more often than you would think. I would also suggest talking to a lawyer that handles rental and real estate law that could give you the appropriate answers and help you out. Good luck!

Answer 3

Argbargy has written a sturdy letter. basically maximum suitable the section that announces you're people who ought to discover new tenants by making use of July 31. Your landlord sounds very actual looking. lots greater actual looking than some. study your apartment contract and notice if what he has instructed you differs from the words reported in the settlement approximately breaking a lease. in case your landlord is offering you with a smash right here this is recommended to think of two times approximately asking him to place his generosity and sturdy will in writing. he's below no criminal duty to do what he's keen to do for you. Why might he substitute his techniques? in specific cases having a splash faith in somebody is going an prolonged way. in spite of everything he had faith in you once you compromise to a lease. in case you do deliver him a letter, deliver it registered so as which you have evidence.

Answer 4

Is the landlord the owner of the building? If not, can you talk to someone else--the owner or management company? I know someone who was in a similar situation. He was being accused of things that didn't make sense to him either. Luckily for him, the next time the accusations came, he could prove he was in the hospital at the time he was supposedly committing the infractions. I hope something like that (not hospital) might happen for you. If you are being singled out, there is probably a legal defense available to you. Good luck.

Answer 5

Seem confrontational because if you don't stand up for yourselves NO ONE will. You can confront the landlord in a pleasent manner without coming across as a ***** or mean. Keeping quiet is just like you said admitting you did something wrong. You need to state your case and if it comes to blows and she tries to evict her get a copy of the report you made to the police.

Answer 6

It would not be confrontational to express your innocence if in fact you are. You need to set the record straight with your landlord. If you don't you are in fact looking guilty. I would suggest talking to the landlord since communication is the key to solving any problem. It seems as though something has been misinterpreted by you or your landlord. I am certain the problem can be worked out if you try.

Answer 7

I would tell the landlord that a mistake was made and if you called the police, they probably have your complaint on record. So you might be able to prove it.

If it happens again, I would call the landlord and complain about the party, so she knows that it was not you and goes after the approppiate people.

Answer 8

You need to call the landlord and discuss it. Explain that it wasn't you, and that you were the ones who filed the complaint with the police.

More than likely, someone is complaining to the landlord about noise and just thinks its coming from your apartment. It'll easily be cleared up.

Answer 9

Sometimes you cannot avoid confrontation in order to communicate the truth. you can be perfectly polite and diplomatic about it. Good luck. If it fails, call the police and explain to them. This involves landlord and tenancy rights.

Answer 10

Contact your landlord and calmly explain that you were also disturbed by the loud noise and party but you didn't want to disturb him.
Next loud party call him first and if you can get video evidence that would help.
Are there other tenants who can back you up?
