Your complaining is not enough.

Send a certified letter to the landlord informing him of actual dates/times of these events.

Also inform him that the noise level is disturbing at night and you are unable to live in this noisy environment.

Also, let him know any more of these issues will result in a violation of the lease in which the landlord is supposed to provide 'livable conditions' or any such term from your lease.

And then last paragraph should state that any more noise violations will terminate the lease and his/her non-response to this Certified Letter (Return Receipt Requested) is acknowledgment of the same.

Then he should come around and fix this issue or let you break the lease.

BUT... KEEP A WRITTEN RECORD.. including time-date- Police officers' names, etc.

By law, every apartment must be deemed fit for human habitation, whether it's written into the terms of your lease or not. A landlord who allows a neighboring tenant to interfere with the peaceful use and enjoyment of your apartment is no different than a landlord who fails to supply heat or running water to your apartment. Like one guy above said, keep plenty of paperwork documenting the incidents and your complaints, and then if the landlord tries to sue you there's no way the housing court judge will rule against you.

what did the cops DO when they got there? if they spoke with your neighbors and the problem continued, they SHOULD be arrested. Also, talk to the management. If they are aware of the problem and do nothing, they have violated your right to "QUIET ENJOYMENT", a legal term which a lawyer can better define than I can, or look it up on a legal website. Then you can break the lease without penalty.

If the landlord doesnt do anything about the noise complaints, then legally you have the right to break your lease without penalty, as noisy neighbors all night can cause you to loose sleep and it can affect your health and well-being and affect your ability to stay on a normal daily routine.

*nods*
If anything in the lease is not followed through to what it states, then I'm pretty sure it is broken.
