What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? maine
Ok some info. My family lives in a second floor apartment. There are 2 apartment under us. There is no insulation between the apartments. There is a quite time rule for between 10pm and 8am.
Here is the issue. Over the years I have lost count of the number of times that we have gotten phone calls saying that the tenants under us have complained cause we are making to much noise after 10pm. And its always the same thing that it sounds like we are stomping round. There are spots that if we walk over the floor creaks and such. What it comes to is if after 10pm. If we don't tip toe or walk very softy it makes noise down stairs. Normal walking round is enough to get a phone call some nights. It don't help that to go form say the living room to the bathroom we have to walk right over both apartments bedrooms.
I have been told by the guy who dose the work for the landlord, as well as friends that I have that are landlords or work for landlords, that if there was insulation between the apartments that there would be no issues. But our landlord just states that it is our fault cause we are the ones who are making the noise.
We are working on trying to save enough to get another place but it be a bit. As when I got a call today form the LL he said that people are saying that they are going move out over this.
Any suggestion on what to do to make sure we are ok till we can save enough to get out?
