Just moved into an apartment complex. My step daughter had a sleep over with two friends and my toddler was here so they were running around playing. My neighbor just knocked on my door and was really rude. She said she doesn’t want to tell the front office but she will if she has to. Thinking of going to talk to them first before she causes me problems.

Tell the office what? Living bottom floor means you’re stuck hearing footsteps. I think talking to the manager first sounds like a good idea.

Thanks for saying that. It was just crazy to me cause there is always kids playing outside. They are so loud. She wants me to have my toddler not run and jump which is her thing so idk how this is going to be fixed.

Is there carpet? Rugs? Maybe get her some slippers? It’ll help a tiny bit, but as someone that only lives in bottom floor apartments, hearing footsteps and toys banging on the floor is totally normal. If it’s still happening regularly after community quiet hours, usually 10p-7a, then maybe I could see complaining. But even then, if it’s just walking around they need to get over it.

What a bitch. Kids make noise. It’s a universal truth. Unless there is something about noise in the lease agreement to the contrary the witch can’t do a fricken thing. I’m sorry @Saywhaat

There is carpet in most of the house tile in the rest. Everyone was quiet last night. Got the baby to sleep around 10 and the girls just watched Happy Death Day. My husband and I were sleeping with the baby.

Nothing about noise in the contract thankfully. She really was bitchy.

Yeah, definitely tell management that she came and threatened to make a complaint even though you guys were being quiet. Ask about what the exact rules are so if it happens again you know.

I called my husband and he told me that he will handle it. He doesn’t even want me texting stressed out over it. Glad he wants to deal with it.

It affects you more because you’re overemotional from your illness.Let it flow.

Yeah I wanted to get in her face when she was all bitchy but kept my cool. Just said I will talk to the older kids about being quiet but I can not control a toddler.

I’m glad you are letting hubby deal with it. I live next to two rowdy boys but if your kids aren’t making racket at 3 in the morning you should be okay.

My kids were really loud when we first got here but quieted down at night. I can see how they can be annoying but I wouldn’t have knocked on the door and been a bitch over it. Also someone came and knocked on my door at 1030 at night to see if they could have the exercise machine I was throwing away. Nice they asked but almost 11 at night and they were banging on my front door and the glass window. Scared my kids.

I agree with @LED that either you or your husband should talk with the apartment management about this. For all you know, this neighbor could be a habitual complainer and the front office might let you know if that’s the case. Also, they can let you know what the rules are in the complex so that you’re better prepared should your neighbor show up on your doorstep again.

your husband sounds like a nice guy, i’d leave it with him and just try and forget about it, you can always ask him what he is going to do, i have had problems with neighbours before as well,
my friend had to go to a lawyer about her neighbour who has been intimidating her about her dog and we are all supporting her, she has mental health problems and the dog has been good for her confidence then this neighbour complains and talks ■■■■ about her dog, sometimes certain people need a good kick up the back side, you know, lol.
if it was me i would tell my housing officer about it, maybe even the police to ask for advice, we have a police non emergency number here in the uk which i have used for my neighbours a couple of times.
i also complained about noise from outside my apartment and i think it has made a little bit of a difference bc the guys isnt playing as much now which is a relief, he use to constantly play this violin with an amplifier near my flat and i heard it all the time and it was driving me nuts.
just dont let it affect you bc then thats when she is winning, dont let the bastards get you down lol thats my motto
