Put really loud speakers on the floor face down when they are sleeping and give them a taste of their own medicine. Let them know that it’s like to have to deal with that bullshit. ---

You could piss in their furnace , that way all the smell is rotting piss. or do the above in their washer. But at least you talked to them , odds are neighbors forget and will do it again but definately dont back down on calling the cops. ---

i lived in my buddy’s house and our neighbor was a psycho bitch married to an old man who sat in his chair with the TV loud enough for you guys to hear in his underwear… our solution: 1. stand in the driveway 2. stare at the bastards until they shut the god damn windows!!! 3. have roomate rev his cbr1000rr with an erion pipe everytime he pulls back in the driveway as loud as he can 4. follow above instructions with camaro ss 5. repeat as necesary ---

Buy a house. A double if you can’t swing a mortgage by yourself. At least that way you select the tenant and enforce quiet hour. As a bonus you stop pissing money away. :tup: ---

I’m sure everyone would agree; what sucks more then being kept awake, is being woken up. They’re night owls, you’re early birds. Make all the noise you can, crank up the stereo, bring a nephew over and let him chase the dog along the floor, and the best yet, start hanging up pictures or build a new table, right on your livingroom floor. ---

[/quote] Your finances are none of my business and I was not trying to make them my business. Just saying that buying is better than renting from both a financial and quality of life perspective. Maybe that is more of a long term solution than you were asking for. Short term… Check your rental agreement to be sure that there is something that could be interpereted as an agreement that tenants must abide by the city’s noise laws. Send your landlord a written complaint, citing this part of the contract, signature required upon delivery. This shows that you mean business, and also puts you on the record as having asked him to address the issue with proof that he received your complaint. You are now on record as having asked him to enforce the rules of the rental agreement and have your ass covered if you want to try more drastic motivators like stopping rent payment or terminating your lease early and moving.
