When a tenant flushes toilet and when bowl fills w/ water, seems like shower pipes rattle. And I have strapped the pipes in unit upstairs.

this is what they call water hammer. there is a cheeper way to fix this problem. on any fixture in the place you reside there is usualy a 90 degree fiting that goes to that fixture what you should do is cut the copper pipe 2 to 3 inches before that fitting put in a copper T fitting [hot & cold side] and cut a piece of half inch copper 6 inches in lenght with a half inch cap on the end of it .solder the cap to the 6 inch piece of copper ,then solder the T fitting behind the 90 this will stop the water hammer and only costs about $3.00 if you have some plumbing tools

they make an anti knock component you may connect for your pipes to end the knocking or they used to construct them, it truly is largely a tube of air it truly is capped on the suitable that absorbs the surprising replace in water stress as valves open and close

you can always add a potable water expansion tank to the main line coming into the house and this will absorb the shock.
there are only two parts and can be bought for under $50.00.
