Have you explained to them calmly and politely that the door banging is having a negative impact on your life? If so, and there has been no improvement, you may wish to speak to their landlord or lettings agent direct. Keep it all friendly.

wow, i went back and read it all (previous 2 and this to make 3)
my daughters house..the door always bangs...it needs to be repaired...
(not a cheap job).. the previous owners..slammed the door numerous times when the dead bolt was on..and ruined the frame, and the door..
also a burglery can cause a similar type of damage.
numerous things have been done..to modify......or temporary patch the door...
but overall it is going to cost ap. $1200 to be completely replaced..door and frame..(door has a crack on the side and the frame is cracked)
until then....it bangs/slams.......
anyhow the point is.......
you can go into....your local (sears, Home Depot, Lowe's) and confirm..what would lessen a door banging/slam..
and they will probably confirm this..............the door and frame are shot/damaged/toast etc
this web site..gives and instance where just an incorrectly installed deadbolt had the door excessively banging..
also..some people install a spring on a door ..for a door to shut like you get in shopping malls..and when the spring gets faulty..it bangs like a cannon..
they rent...........but seem friendly......ask.. if you can call their landlord......and if he refuses to repair the door...
i think some city..zoning by-laws may force him to..
that as having a proper fitting door to prevent burglary, or noise by-law.

shows some very noisy situation on doors..that actually sound like guns/cannons..

Are they doing it on purpose or is it a case that the damp has caused the door to swell and it wont close properly ??? I ask because at the moment the rain has caused my front door to swell so badly that I have to really slam it to close it - it makes the windows rattle its so bad. I have a landlord but he doesnt want to know. I know my neighbours hear this badly but failing not ever going out - there isnt anything I can do about it xxxxx

Maybe your neighbours have a stiff door and need to bang it hard to shut it properly. My front door is like this also and it just cant be shut gently otherwise it would open again. Have a nice word with them as they may not even realise its a problem.

Complain to their landlord, and if that doesn't work, take it up with your local council.
