I have these two new neighbours. They have a newborn, i think 3 or 4 months old now. And the girl babysits a 3 year old most of the week. I live in the basement. They are always stomping around and yelling at eachother, you know real white trash like!! I dont yell in front of my daughter. But she can hear them yelling. Before they moved in it was a single woman who lived there and she was Really quiet. I have talked to the girl (who is only 18) and i have talked to the land lord, but nothing seems to help. It was quiet for a while, or seemed to be after i talked to the land lord the 3rd time, but now it seems its back to the same old fighting and stomping.
They have woken me up at 5 freaking AM fighting, and throwing something. If i didnt' know any better i would say they were getting physical, but i have never seen any bruises, not that i stop and talk to either of them lol. IDIOTS.
What would you do if you were in my situation. I'd rather not cause conflict, because i'm a pretty laid back type of person, i dont like to make enimies. But really i have almost had enough. They wake up my kid everytime she naps in the day. That's what bothers me the most, I try to give my daughter a good place to live and grow up, and they are yelling and waking her up all the time:/

Mate, that's a real tight jam your in... For me I'd just keep complaining to the landlord, or make there life miserable as well. Sometimes in life you cant avoid conflict. No matter how laid back you are. My mate is pretty laid back and his neighbour would park his truck in front of his house and every mornin at 4.00am start the truck and go to work, waking up my mate .. They talked about it and the guy said he would park elsewhere, but he didnt.. So in the end my mate rang the council and they told him to move the truck.. Maybe you should call the police when you hear them fighting and eventually they might even come out and do something about it..
Goodluck.

Maybe you could call the police. I think they would consider that disturbing the peace. I know you dont want to cause a conflict but you might not have a choice. Unless you want to keep putting up with the nonsense. I cant believe they would carry on like that in front of their daughter even if she is only a few months old. And the fact that shes waking your daughter up from her naps makes it even worse. I would definitely say something. Thats something i wouldnt put up with for much longer. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Just call the police nd have these violent couples arrested. You need your peace, before they showed up, your neighborhood was blissful, now they ere spoiling everything! Take them to court-you can never tell, perhaps they left their former accommodation because neighbors could not tolerate them!

You have renter's rights. Since you already talked to your landlord on numerous times about the people above you. You should ask for a meeting with the landlord. If he/she won't do anything about your neighbors you have the choice of being moved to another apartment in the same building away from them, or given the choice to move out to another apartment owned by another apartment company.
With the stomping, as much as it stinks, you usually get that with apartments. I was downstairs talking to my neighbor when I heard my 2 walking upstairs, my 2 was very young at the time, and they sounded like a herd of cattle.
In the meantime, call and complain everytime they are loud, minus the stomping. Your landlord will get tired of this. More than likely, your neighbors are those that the state basically pays there rent, which sucks, because the landlord sees them as a easy buck.

I would kindly ask them again to quiet the noise down and if it did not stop I would try and locate another place to leave I mean if it is at all possiable

Wow that is pretty bad. I would hate to be their neighbors. I don't want to be woken up when I want to sleep. That must of been hard for you...what I would suggest is that maybe you can bring that up to the wife...explain to her that you need your sleep if they can please refrain from all those noisiness after 9pm and not until 8am in the morning or something like that...I don't know though because I have not encounter such a bad incident...I wouldn't want to either...

It sounds like your new neighors are very thoughless people and should be made to realize that as tenants they have to think of the people living below them and be as quiet as possible. Since you have already talked to the landlord next time call the police andeverytime they make noise do it again. I vouch that they will either quiet down or move and let someone who is more thoughtful move in. this worked for me in a similar situation.
