Okay, we just got new downstairs neighbors two months ago. We live in a 2nd story walkup with our 20 month toddler, and don't even get a porch or a yard to hang out in, as they constantly tie their finicky cats out(and let them p**p all over the place) and shoot bb guns at the tree, causing large splinters to be all around. They live below us, and are noisy as heck. We are big people, and our floors are squeaky, but it constantly sounds like they are up on the roof stomping around. Right now my daughter is in bed, and someone's down there playing what I assume is guitar hero at a high bass setting, so my floors vibrate, while their p*****n son and friends are running all around the house and screaming. We keep the windows open for air flow, and it gets miserable if we shut them to keep out the noise. I've yelled out the window asking them to be quieter and someone just laughed and said yeah right. I've also pounded on the floor above the game player to let them know it's too noisy. They apparently don't care. I can't go down there and leave my daughter unattended, even if she is in bed. My landlord went on and on about how they are such good tenants, and I'm starting to think he's on crack, lol. Is it wrong to expect them to keep quiet after 730 pm? We are strict parents and don't allow my daughter to make a lot of unneccessary noise during the day, is expecting them to be quiet, at least during the week too much to ask? I don't care about weekends(they have a large group over every weekend and make noise until 4 am) If I bring this up to our landlord, he may well decide we're the bad tenants because we'd be being "whiney", and the man actually kicked a 85 year old woman out in the middle of the night once, so I don't want to anger him. We will move after our lease is up, but until next june, how can I deal with this? Any suggestions? I don't want to call the cops and deal with unneccessary drama. Thanks!
