Would this make you angry?

Question

the neighbors upstairs are very very loud. They yell and stomp and fight every single day.. and some days.. all day. I once asked them to be quiet, and they got mad at me. So since then the landlord has given them 2 written warnings... They are still very distupitve, almost daily. Since we botha have leases, I can't move, and tecniquiely they can't get evicted. I am now pregnant and homronal...

I am finding that I get very very angry. They fight and scream and yell and stomp. My happy, peaceful home is filled with someone elses out of control screaming every single day. My nerves are worn. I feel such rage when they go at it again... It is just fraying my nerves. At first I laughed about it. But it is wearing me down.. Am I overreacting?

Answer 1

no youre not over reacting. take it up with your landlord again. or call the cops

Answer 2

I'd go totally insane. I had an issue with my neighbors getting home at 12:30am and making normal noises. (I let them know and they've been quiet). I can't imagine how I'd feel if people were arguing. Well, yes, I do- I'd go insane. But.. look over your lease. There could be a section about a tenants right to peace and quiet.

"Your rights as a tenant include the right to "quiet enjoyment" as it is called in the law. This means the landlord cannot evict you without cause or otherwise disturb your right to live in peace and quiet.

If other tenants in your building are disturbing you, you should complain to the landlord. The landlord has a duty to see that you are protected from other tenant's wrongful behavior. Of course, you may not disturb other tenants, either."

Answer 3

You are NOT overreacting. I know how you feel. I lived in a lower level apartment for 7 years. Almost every year we would get new upstairs neighbors and every time they would be loud and obnoxious. One couple had a huge dog that they left on their balcony all day every day while they were gone. Needless to say, the messes wound up on my patio. Fun.

See if you can find out what the public nuisance laws are like in your area. If they are fighting, call the police and report them. I know in Indiana, when the police are called to apartments, a report automatically goes to the landlord even if there are no arrests or charges.

That's how I "helped" to get rid of the peeing dog owners. The police got so many complaints from anonymous callers (mainly me) that the management company had no choice but to evict them.

Answer 4

No you're not. You also need to think about your unborn baby being subjected to such anger. Tell your landlord that it is really unhealthy for you to be living in such a chaotic environment. Even if you have a lease you can reason out to your landlord that since they cannot help with the situation, they are in effect in breach of the implied warranty of habitability. Implied warranty of habitability is defined by Wikipedia as follows: "An implied warranty of habitability is a warranty implied by law that by leasing a residential property, the lessor is promising that it is SUITABLE to be lived in, and will remain so for the duration of the lease."

If they cannot remedy the situation, your landlord should let you break the lease or you can withhold the rent until the problem is resolved. Good luck!

Answer 5

No, you certainly are not overreacting. You have a legal right to peace and quiet. Your landlord should be doing more than just giving warnings. He is legally required to start eviction proceedings if the warnings aren't stopping the problem. You can push this point with your landlord and get him/her to either evict them or release you from your lease. One other thing you can do is to call the police. In Colorado they will come and ticket the noisy neighbor and require them to pay a fine and/or go to court.

Answer 6

No you are not over-reacting at all. After the warnings that your land lord gave them and they refuse to change their behavior, you could have a way to get out of your lease because the living conditions are not acceptable. Now they have the two written warning, the next step to document the living conditions is to call the police. If that does not help after calling the cops at least 3 times, file a lawsuit to terminate your lease in small claims and force the owner of your complex to pay for your move. Good luck.

Answer 7

To live in apartments they have to follow the rules and be polite they are being rude. Continue to complain about them. Normal people don't yell and fight and stomp around like that. They need to learn some manors. I would complain every single day if they acted like this until they either moved or stopped acting like animals...
Also why should you move they are the ones being rude and not following the rules. Try to talk to the landlord and tell her how rude they are get tape recordings of the fights for evidence or call her and have her come listen to it.. She will surely get them out of there.

Answer 8

You are not over reacting. Call the police every time they start the yelling and stomping. It sounds like domestic abuse going on. Sooner or later the landlord will have to address it with the police coming out every single day.

Answer 9

Right now, I don't believe your over reacting...It's a woman's natural instinct to want to provide a nice, peaceful home for her new arrival....and these people are clearly invading you're territory and threatening the peace you would like to provide your baby...The rage your feeling, is most likely due to the fact that you want this taken care of now...as in right now....not something you want to be dealing with when your baby gets here....I would talk to your landlord about maybe getting a new spot to live in..or just keep calling the police until they get the point....
I hope everything works out...:)

Answer 10

Yeah, that would make me crazy, in fact that's why 4 years ago we decided to rent an townhouse because I couldn't deal with the noise in the morning, and music loud, I had at that time 3 kids and we always requested the bottom apartment so they could run freely without disturbing no one, but then we couldn't take it anymore...we committed ourselves that in a few years we would buy our own SINGLE home and..7 months ago we did...we bought our own home where nobody can bother us and viceversa. Right now your hormones are kind of crazy and everything will irritate you, try to calm down...you could try to talk to them again in a very peaceful way and explain them your situation and how that will affect your state of mind and your baby's health!

Answer 11

I understand completely why you had to save this really secret for now! I truthfully do! you've a ideal to be indignant, for positive. You relied on those with very particular concepts, and they blew which have self assurance completely out of the water. besides the undeniable fact that, i wager the alternative you want to make is - is this challenge properly worth doubtlessly wrecking some relationships. in case you throw a in nice condition or some thing like that, likely someone will be harm (alongside with you nonetheless) and which will likely carry about persevered harm thoughts. My suggestion is so that you could search for suggestion from with the human beings that you instructed (and requested now to not say some thing) and clarify to them how they have harm you. After that, you want to make your recommendations up what to do. both enable it bypass or carry onto it, of route the damage is executed, or maybe as it comes right down to it - you're the only you want to rigidity about, properly, you and your spouse. sturdy success with this crappy challenge!
