How do you polietly tell the neighbors to stop what they are doing?

I would recommend calling your landlord. When you speak to him just let him know that you don't want to hurt their feelings and you feel it would be better if he spoke to them. Depending on the type of people they are it might start too much trouble if you try to deal with them yourself. If you know them a little bit and they seem like decent people then you could alway just take a chance politely talking to them. I know its corny but as many couple articles say when talking about arguments, just don't use words that accuse or send them into defense. For example, instead of saying, "your kids are too noisy" you could say "Its really loud downstairs when people stomp". It might work, but then again it might not. lol. Good luck!

You just can’t. Children are a reflection of their parents and family-values. Parents who are rude or inconsiderate enough not to tell their children to be well-mannered, do not deserve our politeness. No amount of sweet-talk from your side will ever convince them that their child does not know how to stay together with other families in an apartment building. Its for parents to teach their children the nuances of manners and civility and to have consideration and respect for others. If they themselves believe that their son has every right to romp about in this own flat, no matter how irritating that can be to the downstairs people, you can rest assured that you or anybody for that matter (landlord) will not get a very patient hearing from them. It’s best to take the bull by the horns. I looked up your profile and you can’t use age as an excuse. So just walk up straight to them and let your displeasure be known or if the norm is such over there, then you can of course ask the landlord to interfere. Whatever be it, don’t expect that you can make them understand by being polite.

It might be a good idea to have a friendly chat with them and let them know. Maybe they don't realise just how noisy the children are.

Unless you think that the ppl live upstairs are prepared to change their lives as they live them atm, your only option is the landlord. Ppl dont change what they do overnight, and when it involves children most likely even less. On the other hand they might take offense to what you say, as if you were telling them they were bad parents, and then you got a sour neighbor. I think the only reasonable action is to contact the landlord. Its the only way not to cause direct problems between the two of you, and the landlord actually has a say in what is going on daily in your houses. hope you get it fixed mommygirlx4

Hi mommygirl, U can call to your landlord, tell him the situation anh show him the pictures which are knocking by them. If u can ask him come on the spot while that children doing that. Let him feel it. U also can go directly to upstairs and look for their parents. U can ask them to look after their children and do not let them run through the apartment all day. U may tell them all of your picture is falling off from your wall and disturb you to rest while you back from working. Maybe u can ask the neighbour next to you whether they also facing some problems with you. If they faced so, then can accompany you to complain to the upstairs neighbour.

yes shes right i have neighbor to that start yelling in the morning saing bad word to her maids and i cant just tell her to stop yelling. my advic e to you start finding a new place

You might mention it to them. Quite often people who live in the upstairs apartment aren't aware of how loud it is in the downstairs apartment. I once had to get my cousin (we shared a house) to actually come into my apartment so that she could hear how loud it was.

I had this happen to me when I lived in my apartment...There was this over hyper little boy who lived upstairs and he sounded I sware like a hurd of elephants running and jumping day in and day out...I went upstairs knocked on my neighbors door and I said hi I am the lady that lives in the apartment below you...I'm not trying to be mean but I can hear your child running and jumping and it's very loud downstairs that I have to turn my tv up and can't hear anything but the banging...Could you please try and lesson the amount of noise...And if they are the rude neighbors like I've had because after that little boy moved out two other little kids moved in and they were just as loud and their dad was always blarring music and it was REALLY annoying...The mother was really rude when I would go up to her and let her know that it was really loud downstairs that after awhile I just called my landlord and made complaints...I would you live there too and people should have respect for the closeness of apartments and people living below or around them...Good luck...

Just go up and ask them. Maybe they don't realize how badly it's shaking your apartment? I wouldn't call the land lord unless they keep it up after you talk to them.

Children are children, sorry but there is nothing that you can do about them. I don't think that talking to those kids will help you much. Today they will stop but the next day the same thing will happen. Actually you have no other option then talking to their parents. If there had been one kid only then it would have never happened but since there are two of them..... I remember the saying of the 'crocodile hunter'crocodiles are nothing, you can handle them but kids....they are sooo ....hehe
