I currently live in a three story condo building with a neighbor above me, below me and next to me. We have a problematic neighbor next to the folks above me. They have multiple children and constantly run through the halls screaming and stomp in their condo so loudly above, that its heard in my office on the far end of my place away from them. Working from home is a huge plus for me but since they arrived, roughly 6 months ago, its been a nightmare. In the evening when trying to watch tv or just have dinner it's unbearable if they are up. I had never dealt with this before and these folks aren't welcoming. They have never even acknowledged my presence when I say hello so, I called security around Xmas. They shut up, but it has continued for months now and I have called multiple times. I realize that maybe I should have just gone up and spoken to them nicely, but clearly they have zero common courtesy so i doubt it would have mattered. I have contacted the front office and all they will do is send violation letters. Today, I called security and he refused to go over as it's "harassment" at this point. I was kind of taken back by that considering I pay over $2K a month to live here. I expect some peace and quiet for that price. I told him flat out that he is going to have a much larger issue if I go up and speak with them and he quickly changed tune. I have 5 months left here and I count the days. I'm not sure what else I can do besides go up there and have it out at this point, but I'd rather avoid the cops possibly being called for something like that. Have any of you dealt with problematic neighbors?
What they are doing is grounds for eviction. You complaining constantly won't make a case for the front office, but you and your neighbors complaining together will. You might want to have your neighbors go file complaints as well.
