What do I do about my neighbors please help???

Question

My neighbors and me and my fiancee used to be really good friends. Well all of a sudden everyone just stopped talking to each other. We weren't fighting we still talked when we seen in each other in the hall way or outside (we live in an apt building). Now here's the thing. They put garbage out in the hallway and we don't complain to the landlord about it but it will stick up the hall way one day they told the landlord that we had the hallway smelling like doc crap (we have a dog). Both of our dogs are potty trained. Well the landlord said he didn't smell anything (he told us this himself). We are supposed to be quiet after 10:00 at night time all they do is slam doors and sometimes fight so loud that we can hear them clear into the bedroom they have a child and we don't mind hearing her cry b/c of course kids will be kids. They are young like I mean 18 and 21 young. We are young too but a big older 22 and 27. Now my question is should we tell the landlord about all the banging?

Or just keep quiet like we've been? We've lived up here for 3 yrs already and they just moved up here like at the end of last year. So they know the rules. They borrow stuff off of us and we lend it out but we never get it back we have to ask for it back. For example, they needed a plunger for like 10 minutes and they've had it for like a mth now. Every time I go to knock on there door there never home.
I am about to have a child also. And I don't want to have them fighting and banging at all hrs waking up my baby once it is born. They also leave there childs stuff downstairs in the little hallway (there is 2 floors to the apt building). They have a bike, a wagon, a stroller, and they even leave coats downstairs too. They are starting to act like they own the place. Revving engines from motorbikes out in the parking lot. It's just really getting to me since I became pregnant.

Answer 1

You are pregnant and more emotional than usual, but that is OK.
Review the rules of the building so that you do not become ashamed of you r request. Hold them to their request - like quiet after 10 ---nicely.
After you make reasonable attempts call the landlord.

Answer 2

Bloody hell of course you should tell your landlord what's going on.You have the right to live in a comfortable,safe,secure environment.Don't let your neighbours run all over you & make you & your fiancee feel like you are not wanted.Make a note of everything that goes on in your building with the neighbours from hell,as you may be the ones that will be forced to move for what ever reason.Only take notes on the people you are having problems with,notify the landlord of all things relevant to what is going on with them.Then take the information to the landlord,of which you seem to have a good relationship with,for him to tell you that he knows you dont do the things that you are accused of.Tell the neighbours that you both will not be pushed around or treated like you are & ask what is it that you are supposed to have done.To me it sounds like a case of jealously & they will do everything to bring you & your fiancee down to the level they want you to be,stand up for yourselves.

Answer 3

I think you should take this with care. Although the couple was your best friends. Rules are to be met by everyone. That includes the unruly as well. I would take a visit to their appt and explain to them that you hear them time after time and would like it if they would be a little more cautious about the noise after the time limit. I would only ask them once. If the noise continues then of course I would report it. But make sure that you explain you have already spoke with that couple and it has failed to stop. Make the effort before tattling. Good luck.

Frankly, I'd say something to the landlord (you might want to get your other neighbors on your floor to back you up).
As for the borrowing things, it's time for you to stop lending. And tell them upfront, "Hey, you say 'borrow' but it ends up that we 'give' to you, 'cause we never get anything back". That sounds childish, and a bit harsh, I know, but hey, things cost you and your hubby money just like it would cost them (if *they* had to buy it, instead of constantly "borrowing" your stuff).
But, yes, I'd tell the landlord about all the noise...surely, all the engine revving can't be good for the neighborhood's reputation (if it's a quiet, stable neighborhood).
Good luck to you! And congrats on being parents!

Answer 5

Girl...you need to complain!!!!! You poor baby is gonna have a hard time sleeping with all that noise. Babies need to have lots of sleep and you will too after having your baby. You should go talk to the landlord and tell him/her and he'll probably see it youre way since youve been living there longer. And dont let them borrow any more of your ****..if they cant bring it back then they dont need to borrow nothing..they sound lazy and trashy..Just tell your landlord about everything and make sure he talks to them or throws them out!! Take care and good luck

Answer 6

Do other people live on the other side of the noisy ones? If so, ask them and see if they hear all the banging and yelling. If not you and or your fiance should ask them lower the niose they are making, make some effort on your own. If that doesn't work, go to the landlord and tell him what's going on. If they aren't going by the rules, he should be able to do something about it.

Answer 7

well i went through something like that, but they weren't my friends.. our neighbor on the second floor always left their garbage out and because of the heat it would smell up the whole place, so i called after the office was closed and left a message on their machine.. i never left my name but i did give the address and door number of whom i was complaining about.. after that they started leaving bags of their dog's crap out there and thats when i couldn't handle it anymore (i am a very very clean person, even when i go to others house's i clean or help them clean) so i called everyday that i saw it out there and about 2 weeks after that they were moving out, and i'm assuming that they got kicked out because i'm sure i wasn't the only one complaining and the lady that shows the apartments came a few times to show the apartment across from them and i knew she saw and smelled it too.. so i guess my advice would be to call after hours and not leave your name or number and just tell them, hi i'm call about the people in building #### apt ### , and make it short.. everyday you deal with it call, and then have your fiance do it , switch it up and they'll think it's two different people from different apartments.. good luck and best wishes!

Answer 8

Overcome evil with goodness..Maybe have your fiancee help them with their trash to help get it outside or knock on their door with some cookies and say would you like a friend to talk to about now? As you do these kind of things instead of getting into a dispute and getting angry, do just as you would have them do for you and you will make your friendship better and they will change or move because you are too nice...

Answer 9

first of all congratulation on the prignancy.
you are neihbors, have you or your fiance talk to them about it, maybe they have a problem or can't adjust with living by them selves and you and your fiance can help them or be an examlpe for them..try it first..if not then tell them that what they do is annoying you and there are rules for the building so they need to stop...if not so your final solution is telling the landlord make him come and see for himself
good luck dear
