Neighbours from hell

ladyjuicy08

I live in an appartment block and everything was great till the neighbours across the hall moved in. I live on bottom floor they are across from me. They are a couple with two kids .always having parties which I don't mind if it's kept in their appartment but their friend sknock on my door ring my buzzer at 4am when they leaving. Front door slams all day long so hard mine rattles .i asked them once to keep the noise down n she asked me while locked was I taking the b****ing mick!!The kids play hockey football etc in the communal hallway even though playground outside. When kids are bold their timeout is the communal hallway so I havta listen to them crying etc ...they sit at my front door to do their homework watch you tube on laptop Hello not got a bedroom like every other kid in Ireland.my management company asked them a couple times to not have kids in hallway it lasts about a week . Driving me crazy the other neighbours don't hear it as they are upstairs :mad:

You need to keep putting pressure on the management company to sort the issue; it is their responsibility to enforce the rules of the complex and ensure that this kind of thing does not continue.

Do you know if they are renting or if they own the apartment? If they are renting then it might be worth trying to get in touch with their landlord to make a complaint.

Have funny feeling they getting it off the social but not 100% sure .. They definately don't own it though ... Don't mind anyone getting help off the social but when you pay a mortgage and the people next door take the p*** you kinda think what's the point

ladyjuicy08

Still having same problem management company has told them countless times has taking the bikes and still it goes on arghhhhhhhhhh......

It really is up to the management company to get this sorted. They need to get on to their landlord and have them removed from the property.

Make sure to take note of everything,times etc. and tell the management company that you are not putting up with it anymore.

Some "people" just dont give a sh1t.

All the best.

Surely can't be easy for your neighbours , living beside someone who appears to be very stressed. It works both ways .

Don't think anyone would like 6/10 kids sitting outside their front door in a hallway that echos kicking footballs against the door playing music screaming shouting crying all day long just because their parents don't want them inside I can't hear the tv over them my living room is 2 feet from the front door I don't care when they play outside I can still hear them but the hallway echos everything holes in the walls which as a home owner I havta pay for

Are you for real?! God help the poor scumbags.. They won't exercise control over their delinquent kids so they have to put up with the dirty looks from the long suffering neighbours.

I've read the thread though I might have missed it, have you other neighbours in the corridor too?

The management company might not be bothered over you but if three or four of ye all go together then they cannot ignore you and they will work harder on it

And emails and texts can be ignored, keep up the phone calls

And keep a diary too as suggested

Probably have the social paying rent, nothing wrong with that but then these people are how such tenants get a name in the first place

Landlord doesn't care, they are getting rent every month

Greasy wheel and all that OP. Keep on top of the management company and don't let them relax until this is sorted,
You're paying good money and you want a certain quality of life

OP are you in Lucan by any chance? This exact problem is happening where I live. Have made complaints to management company and as far as I can see, all they've done is mention in a newsletter circulated to all residents, that kids aren't to be playing unsupervised in the common areas.

Not surprisingly, this has had no affect. I'm trying to study for exams at the moment and am getting no peace :mad:

Not quite the same but I have a nightmare girl in the apartment next to me! All quiet during week usually but Fri, sat and sun night she has all her friends over pre drinking, then landing back in at half 2 wit music pumping til at least 6. Add to that hearing her screaming crying fighting with her new fella (theres a new one every month) and objects being thrown and its a nightmare. She's aware that there are small kids in the block and doesn't care. All the other residents are going crazy, management company have given countless warnings. Were all hoping shell move when her lease expires in July!

Get onto her landlord and keep getting onto them at every opportunity (the more times you call the landlord at 2 in the morning the better). Annoy the landlord enough and she will not be there past her current lease.

Threads like this are the reason people should think twice before seeing an apartment as a viable alternative to a house in Ireland.

When you buy an apartment you are effectively buying a room in a very big shared house, and you just have to hope that the other house mates have some respect for everyone else living there.

Management companies seem to be powerless or not bothered dealing with social issues that cause no physical damage to the building but make life a misery for others.

This is generalised nonsense the op is having a very specific problem with one family that has moved in to their block and its not the norm in apartment blocks. Im in an apartment for the last 5 years and 99% of the time it works perfectly well. The issues described by the op could be applied and found in housing estates aswell.

Managment companies are not responsible for social issues that occur in apartment blocks either thats a matter for the guards.

Depends on the apartment building. Where I live is mostly settled families and older couples, and the worst I have to deal with is the little yappy furball that lives below me and barks its head off at 11 oclock at night.

I have to say though renting an apartment is a very different story to buying one. Anti-social behaviour is not limited just to apartment buildings, but Id say its probably the worst affected areas, as there are more renters as opposed to owner-occupiers (many of whom will be younger people) and there are just generally more people condensed into a smaller building/area. Id be quite wary of buying in an apartment building, but if it was something I was to consider then it would have to be a building in which I have previously lived, or had very good knowledge of.
