dealing with annoying neighbors

Sorry to hear about your neighbors my friend. The sad fact is, we can not choose or picked who we want to be our neighbors. Reporting the incident to the cops is everyone's right if we can not talked it out with them in a friendly manner. There are some people who are really inconsiderate about the feelings of others. Did they really set the place on fire? if so they should be evicted, because they have put your life in danger. Lets just hope it won't happen again.

What an annoying neighbor you have there! We have to deal with annoying or dificult people once and a while in our life. Had you tried talking to them? We have very annoying neighbor too. I had tried talking to them. They had mellowed a bit but still, they do the same. That is why my head heats up when I see them

Wow!! Any proof of problems with them abusing or neglecting the child? You could make a complaint to CPS then if they would even look into it. We have seen many of this type of people and behavior around here from time to time as well, and it makes you wonder how come the Cops never want to get involved? Starting a fire is a sign of issues as well, and makes you wonder about your landlords.

It is horrible when we have neighbours who just don't seem to know how to behave, and this is something that I am struggling with at the moment. Our next door neighbour is decorating their house at the moment and they just seem to be very noisy for the whole of the day and doesn't stop working until late at night when I am trying to go to sleep. I know that they have to get their decorating done but I also have to sleep so I think that they should be trying to do it at a time that is a little better for all of us.

when i was younger, our family used to live in a place where another family lived upstairs. some tenement houses here have these layout, too. i can relate to what you feel. unfortunately, i was very young then and i could only hear my parents complain. i witnessed one time my mother talking to the other mother (and even with the father) about how the stomping disturbed our sleep. nothing changed until that family moved out. i saw the frustration in my parents but we had no choice then because we had to live by the means we had.

Oh. I really feel for you. I really hate people who don't mind others specially if it is very obvious that they are disturbing others. We also have neighbors like that here in our subdivision. It's so annoying that group of boys built a small basketball court infront of our house where they can obviously disturb us. The ball is sometimes hits the car of my brother which is really annoying. I am very dismayed to the leader of this subdivision. This was supposed to be an exclusive subdivision for people who can treat their neighbors properly, but there are a lot of people here whom we don't know. It's really annoying!!!!

I guess I'm very fortunate not to have neighbors like yours. And I can't even imagine what that would be like since the houses in my neighborhood have enough distance among them that noises coming from one aren't really heard that much. It is really unfair for you to as paying tenants to have such rude and inconsiderate neighbors. Is it in your options to transfer to another place? With how you've described the situation, I'm not really sure if talking to them would do any good.

I had neighbors similar to that before as well and I also lived on the bottom floor. Some people are just not considerate at all of the fact that people may be underneath them. Some things you expect to hear (floor creaking, toilet flushing, vacuum running, etc) but when they are just completely disrespectful, it makes your life a lot harder than what it should be. If they are becoming a nuisance the landlord should kick them out...if the state is paying their rent, the management is probably only getting pennies on the dollar. When my upstairs neighbors starting the stomping and yelling, wherever I could find that they were in their house I would bang on the ceiling. Whatever I could do to annoy them, I did. I would turn my music up full blast and hold a sub-woofer to the ceiling and let it vibrate the walls and everything. It got to the point, that I would go up and knock on their door and tell them to shut up and stop stomping around. And then when that didn't work, anytime their TV was full blast, their music was blaring, they were up all hours of the night talking at the top of their lungs, I started calling the police and reporting them for noise ordinance. It said in the lease though that you were only allowed 3 noise complaints before eviction though, so they eventually got kicked out. But trust me, I feel your pain. I remember how annoying that was when I lived underneath them and I never want to do it again.
