Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 E you sound soooo much cuter than I ever shall feel LOL but I do admit I am a bit nutty That doggie/door thing sounds like a real bother — I would say something to your downstairs neighbors first if you feel comfortable doing that. If not — mention it to the Super but it’s usually best to go to the source. I do think that creating your own “counter-noise” is a good one — music, TV, something you don’t mind hearing...

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Sue: I think you are cuter...you work out! I did complain to my landlady..and feel like I was blown off. I guess I'm still in a little shock over that. I really thought she was nice and that was part of why I moved here. Apparenlty I don't read people like I once did. Anyway..there is a clause in the lease regarding pets and its says that if your pet is a nuisance in any way..to the other residents, that if it not resolved, it might be asked to leave. I should think that the Landlady would have tried to assure me that I had some power in the situation, so I don't have to wiegh moving out and what not myself. You see...the doggies..need to pee a lot when they are young.... AND this couple next door has TWO of these doggies... SO its TWICE as bad as it would be. I just can't stop thinking that they should have really put a cluase in the lease regarding age of the dog and the routine to take it outside for potty training. This is not a normal going in an out the door routine. Most residents ever go out once..and come back once a day. THESE folks are just endlessly going in an out...and its sooo obnoxious. I don't know them...I'm so new here. TWO..of them...only one of me. Also..the guy under me just moved...and now its just me here with these noisy puppy people, until someone else moves in and gets to hear the joys of constant door slamming. ~E:) --- JustYourTypeDTP justyourtypedtp@...> wrote: > E you sound soooo much cuter than I ever shall feel > LOL but I do admit I am > a bit nutty > That doggie/door thing sounds like a real bother ‹ I > would say something to > your downstairs neighbors first if you feel > comfortable doing that. > If not ‹ mention it to the Super but it¹s usually > best to go to the source. > > I do think that creating your own ³counter-noise² is > a good one ‹ music, TV, > something you don¹t mind hearing... > > Sue > > > On 1/19/07 2:14 PM, " E Gillespie " > lyongillespie@...> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > Sue: > > > > You sound so cute!!! > > > > I gotta come up with a plan. > > > > Sue you are good at plans... > > > > This noise is coming from their two puppies need > to > > be taken out 20 times a day each.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Well, If I was gonna talk to the chic...I would have to do it during the day, since that is when she home alone with the one dog. What does one say in a situation like this... HEY..you are a crummy neighbor and you are making me miserable??? Right now..for instance...the guy just got in around 7 pm or so..and he's already been smashing the door around a bunch of times and throwing the ball for the dogs...inside their unit..which is next to mine. THE rumbling/thunder is just unbeleivable... There is a clause that says if the dogs become a nuisance..in any way to any other tenant, they can be asked to send the dogs elsewhere. I don't know if they just are toooo stupid to imagine that if they can hear others milling about... I can hear all the commotion comeing from them...and they are putting themselves in danger of having to give up thier puppies. This is the loudest part of the day...every day. IT will go on till after 1 in the morning. If I want to rest in my bedroom in anyway...I'll have to wait until then.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I am sooo depressed over this noise. I don't feel right approaching a stranger..and telling her that I don't like her noise. EVERYONE I spoken to tells me..that is me that has the problem and that to ask someone to not potty train thier dog...or to stop enjoying their apartement is obnoxious of me. I keep being told..that any approach to the girl, would prove I'm some kind of wierd control freak. I keep hearing..apartments are noisey and that I just have to live with it. If this girl..has this same attitude..(as these people who are supposedly on my side) then I will just be creating an enemy. I'm soooo very heartbroken that this place has turned out this way..and that I don't have any power to stop this kind of thing. I don't know what a person is supposed to do....MAKE tons of noise back at all hours of the day and night...JUST so I can offload my frustration? I read a website yesterday that said only about 20 percent of apartment dwellers will strive to curtail their noisemaking after hearing a neighbor is unhappy. ONLY 20 percent. THEN..why would I waste my time...I run so much risk in getting the couple all mad AT ME. I'm sooo upset at this point, it was near impossible for me to even speak to the landlord who seemed less than interested in the problem. I've been told by the (friends) that I have no rights...and people are allowed to make as much noise as they want in an apartment. If I don't like it..then I must leave and inccur all kinds of charges for breaking the lease. WHY...does this have to be sooo hard? ~E:) --- Teague medstudent2be@...> wrote: > dear neighbor.... > > i am walked over every day and notice that you were > walked over to. can you please not play your music > or (fill in blank) so loudly? signed - door mat > > something like that might work LOL. > Re: WAY off > topic/noise > > > > Well, > > If I was gonna talk to the chic...I would have to > do > it during the day, since that is when she home > alone > with the one dog. > > What does one say in a situation like this... > HEY..you are a crummy neighbor and you are making > me > miserable??? > > Right now..for instance...the guy just got in > around 7 > pm or so..and he's already been smashing the door > around a bunch of times and throwing the ball for > the > dogs...inside their unit..which is next to mine. > > THE rumbling/thunder is just unbeleivable... > > There is a clause that says if the dogs become a > nuisance..in any way to any other tenant, they can > be > asked to send the dogs elsewhere. > > I don't know if they just are toooo stupid to > imagine > that if they can hear others milling about...

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 E, sometimes tenants just don't know how the noise resonates. We had an apartment once where the master bedrooms were back to back and the couple next door decided to put their surround sound home theater in the master bedroom. All we could hear was the bass pounding from the subwoofer and it was like living in a thunderstorm all day and into the night until they went to bed. They had no clue and moved it as soon as they were told. I'm thinking that you're right about not changing their training habits for the pet, but they may not realize that they're letting the door slam each time. If I were to approach them, I would have that attitude and say something like that, that I know they need to go in and out with their dog, but could they please hold the door while it closes because it echoes so badly above where you are. The old 'you catch more flies with honey' adage. We had another apartment where the fellow upstairs was playing music way too loudly, and when I sent my husband up, I said that same thing. I told him to be really nice and act as if he assumed that the guy didn't know and could he please turn it down some. He said that he didn't even really need it on and turned it off completely. So there's 2 for 2 for us, putting us at 100% success rate. When I said make your own noise, I meant with a quiet fan or something to drown theirs out, not by creating the same kind of noise back. I don't think that would solve anything except probably have you with someone else at your door LOL. You might want to bake a batch of something and go down with it in your hands and then calmly tell her what the situation is and ask her to please open and close the door softly. That way you're not really complaining and she won't be as likely to get defensive. I would also start out with the idea that she doesn't know and is not doing it on purpose. Just my thoughts...

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Hi E. I would do it like this: I would go down and tell her (or him) whichever seems most sympathetic and unstupid, that you have some medical problems. You are also having trouble sleeping and the door slamming is keeping you up at night, making it difficult to rest. If you let them know that you are sure they don’t know and you realize it’s a “little thing” and may seem petty but the noise travels and is louder than may appear. Unless they are heartless stupid and cruel, I think they will understand and acquiesce.... sue Well, If I was gonna talk to the chic...I would have to do it during the day, since that is when she home alone with the one dog.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I guess i can figure out why he moved, huh? LOLSo, make sure your complaints are in writing to your landlady, that way you keep a copy also. Let her at least think you are keeping track and will seek legal action if needed. She make take you more seriously. Even if you don't plan on moving, outline the lease to her where it talk about pest and tell her that she has a timeframe in which to fix the situation, or you will be forced to move and get a full refund of your rent and possibly be able to sue her for your inconvenience. Do a google search of the rental right sin your area. We had to threaten our management company when they didn't fix the heat. They told us, we have 30 days, which is not the truth, they have 24 hours for heat. I knew that because we did a search for our rights. Guess when they fixed it? The next day. Good luck, jackieAlso..the guy under me just moved...and now its justme here with these noisy puppy people, until someoneelse moves in and gets to hear the joys of constantdoor slamming.~E:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Say, or write a letter that says...Dear neighbor, My name is E, I live next door. I noticed you have two adorable puppies and healthy active kids. I commend you on being responsible pet owners and making sure your little guys get plenty of exercise and potty time. You've probably noticed that the doors in our complex can be a bit noisy, I hope I have not made any noise that may be offensive for your family. I'm dealing with a health issue right now, so even small noises disrupt my healing. I haven't been bothered by any noises your family has made, but the door does make a slamming noise.Maybe we can figure out some way to to make them quieter together? As neighbors I'd like to keep an open line of communication (insert phone number here if you are comfortable and then ask for theirs?)I am new to the area and would like to get to know your family better as time permits.I know this sounds a little cheesy, but better to offer honey to bees... at first.jackieWell,If I was gonna talk to the chic...I would have to doit during the day, since that is when she home alonewith the one dog.What does one say in a situation like this...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 JACKIE: I think I just moved out before I was ready to handle the vagaries of apartment living. I was sooo excited to have something to think about besides my health. WEll..I have it...now don't I? You are very insightful... I'm thinking about something just like that... I also am thinking that....I'd really like to get a more immediate reaction from them..so as sweet as the letter is...I'm thinking I might have to have my friend talk to them for me with the same spirit of your letter. Ya know...or try and talk to just the girl myself. Grrr. She could tell me to go take a flying leap. Ya know what is soo odd about the door..is that they have BACK door..to go in and out of...but they choose to go out the one under my bedroom window. Just changing that up would help a little..and it JUST seems odd that they haven't considered how much noise they are making. ALSO..this door is on the SIDE of thier unit...not smack dab in the middle...but the side.... that is inbetween my window and thiers...so....its REALLY...just as much in my space as thiers. You see what I mean.?? Its a historic looking brown stone type place..and the majority of thier place goes around the corner...while the doors are on the far end...NEXT to me. I think because of the postion of the door...I probably get the BRUNT of the loudest noise coming from that door...not them. ITS gone into a major cold snap here...and its not like I'm gonna be just standing around waiting for them to come out.. I think I need to KNOW that someone is listening to my postion..BECAUSE..right now...I have been angry about his for about six weeks...and THAT seems like a long time. You do have something there though... I do like it. ~E:) Day after day, day after day, We stuck, nor breath nor motion; As idle as a painted ship Upon a painted ocean.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Jackie: I hear ya... Good job on getting a resolution. I think when you are sick and alone, you don't want to start a war with the landlady..and you don't want to start a war with your neighbors. THESE little things like this have a way of escalating REALLY fast and getting over heated and emotional. I already FEEL really stupid for moving here. I've tried to be casual about so far..and thought that this would be all I needed to do. NOW...that this didn't work..I'm wondering if I should just pull out...THE place is not WORTH the fight. I don't want to fight with anyone... I told the landlady..that I didn't want to blame anyone..and told her that I know people make noise...just wanted to sound reasonable, even though I had gone by her office twice in one day a week ago..left a message...and then showed up again a few days later to follow up with the call....since she never attempted to contact me in response to my message telling here I had been by twice to talk to her about some noise that was really getting out of hand. HER whole sluggish..response to me..and snarky retort when I told her jokingly that " maybe the guy with tv on all night should wear headphones after midnight " she comes back...at me with a sneering... Well I don't think that's reasonable! I just wanted to be easy going..and light about it. Don't want make waves... I' m not ready to get into Dirty HARRY mode or anything yet. I wish I had that back...but its not here yet. I just want the door to stop...and the rumbling to stop. IT really should be that simple. THIS has already BEEN WAY WAY..to big of an issue in my life. I either need to get a desk and a couch..or I need to get out. ~E:) --- Ken & Jackie Reimer quest4us@...> wrote: > > I guess i can figure out why he moved, huh?

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 E, can you remind me where you are? For some reason I think you're on the other side of the ocean. My building has a strict noise policy after 11pm at night, so if I couldn't sleep because of someone's noise, I would definitely complain, first verbally to them, then verbally to on-site management, and then in writing, and then in writing to the actual property management company. A paper trail may be necessary at some point. I take care of myself and I go to bed on time. A good night's sleep is one of the few things that I ask for. Having said that, my hubby snores, so I wear one earplug in the ear that's not on the pillow. I suppose that drowns out other things too, but it would never drown out a slamming door. If I think about that, it's worse than the constant sound of TV or music. You would just be ready to doze off and the slam would startle you awake. I could not stand that. Please keep us up to date with this saga... Judy Expecting? Get great news right away with email Auto-Check.Try the Yahoo! Mail Beta.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Absolutely,I am part of that 20% and would eagerly try to change my habits if it infringed.I share a driveway with an elderly neighbor, they asked that WE don't park in the driveway, which would be very convenient for me.BUT they park in it all the time. I was a little put off until I saw that they can NOT drive well! LOL They cannot maneuver around my car, where as I have no problem gettingaround theirs. It's a small price to be a good neighbor.And karma may be playing out, as they own a house and would like us to rent from them and would leave it vacant until June to have us as tenants!JackieE---20 percent means you have a fighting chance. :)sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Judy: Thanks again for your response. I live in West Hartford, CT....and in a historical looking building, on the edge of an upscale village full of BMW-driving-snobs. The folks that live next door, live in a townhouse..while I just live in one bedroom apartment. The folks next door are young..and probably college students or something...... My guess is that they have never considered that the noise carries the way it does around here. I'm pretty quiet and the couple downstairs..is pretty quiet too..so they aren't hearing what's happening over here...and besides which THEY ARE making such a racket...THEY couldn't here anyone else if they wanted. I plan on putting something in writing for the manager...since it has gone on now for awhile and I just want to stop beating around the bush with this. The doors need to be attended to by maintenance..and I think if we can get everyone on the same page, this problem will be solved. I need to see the manager about resigning my lease with the pet deposit anyway..so I should think that this will be a good time to revisit the topic., without me having to go to anymore big overtures. I bought some furniture from Ikea, but its all in the car...and I'm too small to bring it up the stairs. Any body have a man they could send? ~E:) --- Judy P ygroupsjp@...> wrote: > E, can you remind me where you are?
