What is the name of your state? Illinois
I live in a fairly expensive town home complex. The problem is recently several college age kids have rented three of the town homes and several nights a week (Wednesday, Friday, Saturday) they have HUGE parties. These often include 100+ people in a 1500sq ft town home. We have called the police several times, called security and made formal complaints to the management. Nothing has been done as far as evicting them or curbing the parties.
The lease states (a direct quote) "X Town homes has a strict noise ordinance. The first complaint will be a verbal warning, the second and third will be written warnings and a forth complaint in a 12 month period will result in immediate eviction." We also have several months worth of "newsletters" the complex puts out. Every month they state they will not "tolerate any parties, even one complaint and the residents will be evicted".
We have documented complaints with the police (at least one call a month for 8 months) as well as with security.
The question is can we sue the town homes for failure to enforce their noise policy? Can I sue for mental anguish over lack of sleep (often the parties last until 3 or 4 a.m.?)
Please keep in mind these are not small parties with music too loud...these are parties of up too 100+ people where arrests are consistently made for fights, destruction of property (other residents cars) etc. These are not college town homes (where parties are expected) and several neighbors have made complaints and calls to police as well (documented).
