~head explodes~ I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE

Nov 21, 2005 10:06

Is anyone familiar with what the noise laws are for apartment buildings? Because I can't handle listening to this Shakira song, at this retarded volume.. on repeat, over 10 times consecutively, starting as early as 8:30am ANY MORE! This is torture, pure, torture. I've tried to be a good girl and just let it slide, but this is becoming an everyday ( Read more... )

Oh honey! I can sympathise with you to no end on this one as I have been in many many a situation just like this (and managed to get neighbours evicted because of noise violations on three seperate occaisions). The first thing you need to do is go online and hunt around for the noise by-laws in Mississauga (these differ depending on which city you live in). Once you have obtained this copy, be sure that your neighbour upstairs is in violation of them, and then you know you have legal recourse. Actually, before that, talk to your building manager and see if your building has particular rules that forbid this kind of behaviour (my building is currently zero tolerance so any noise audible from a neighbour is unacceptable and can cause them to be kicked out ( ... )

actually I havn't had a problem with them since. I imagine someone else probably complained. It was pretty ridiculous. If it happens again I'll just talk to them. That particular morning I was capable of murdering someone though. hehe

That sucks. Try going up there and talking to them next time. They might not even realize that you can hear it. I had a neighbor come down a couple times about my music. It turned out that the tiny computer speakers were the problem, not the main 220W stereo. The sound must have been echoing through the vent. So I keep that one off at night and haven't heard from her since.

P.S., I know you and Matt are hard-core Survivor addicts.. We should have a party for the last episode, whenever that is....

UGH! I made this big long post, then a few misguided clicks sent it all to the land of lost messages.

My fingers, eyes and brain are tired so here's the Coles note on the post that never was.

Talk to them, and maybe they'll stop, you have nothing to lose if you say something.

Invite a few scary looking friends over, and let them complain for you. That way there's no weird akwardness when you see them on the stairs, and they'll be worried about having scary people at their door again. The taller and more pierced/tattoo'd the friends the better it works.

Either that or wait till they're not home and put putty in their lock. If they can't get inside they can't make noise, right? (me? evil? nah, never!)
