I put my deposit down on an apartment several weeks ago...the landlord said that it was fairly quiet..even though there was one young person living up over us..(he said that he was a quite young person)......I stressed to my landlord that I needed quite....(I tried to find a three bedroom (which is what I needed..I have older kids, who are also not very loud, or infringent upon others), anyway, I visited the apartment before I put the downpayment down and it was quiet...also...and I stressed to the landlord over and over again that I needed quiet.......o.k... tonight..I find out that it is loud and I am supposed to move in in a few days and have everything changed over in my name in a couple of days... what would you do? I am not a complainer...I don't think there is any insulation in the floors........you can hear every word...
thanks for the input

Depends on the state you live in.
You may want to request an upstairs in a different location within the same community then no one above you to make noise. Owners/landlords usually will try every avenue to make you happy prior to returning the deposit.
Also, if you have not signed a lease you may be eligible for the entire deposit back or maybe partial depending on how long the apartment was held off the market for you.

Tell the landlord that you have had a change of heart and cannot move in. You may not get your entire deposit back but you might get a partial payment

Tell the landlord that you have changed your mind and that you would like your deposit back. I would never pay a deposit until I sign a lease. It sounds like you never signed a lease. Don't move in if you are not happy. Just ask for your deposit back.
