OK I'LL MAKE THIS AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE... ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO I GOT THE NEIGHBORS FROM HELL MOVE UPSTAIRS FROM ME. I HAVE LIVED IN MY APARTMENT FOR 1 YEAR WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL THESE PEOPLE MOVED IN. THE PROBLEMS STARTED THE FIRST WEEK THEY WERE HERE. YOU SEE, THESE PEOPLE ARE VERY INCONSIDERATE THEY ARE EXTREMELY LOUD AT WHATEVER THEY ARE DOING,AT NIGHT OR DAY. WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS THAT IS SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS A HERD OF WILD HORSES LIVING UP THERE. I AM BEING TORTURED BY THESE NOISY PEOPLE. YOU SEE, I HAVE 2 CHILDREN, AGES 10 MONTHS AND 8 YEARS. MY BABY SLEPT ALL NIGHT SENCE HE WAS 1 MONTH OLD, UNTIL THEY MOVED IN. THEIR 3 YEAR OLD SON PEES OVER THE BALCONY INTO MY BACKYARD AREA AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK. I HAVE HAD A NEIGHBOR WITNESS IT, AND UNTIL SHE TOLD ME I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE PUDDLES WERE. NOW ABOUT A WEEK AGO THEY GOT A STEREO AND MUST HAVE THE BASS ALL THE WAY UP AND IT RATTLES THE HELL OUT OF MY SONS ROOM. ( THE STEREO IS IN THE ROOM ABOVE MY CHILDRENS ). I HAVE CALLED SECURITY A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES SENCE THEY MOVED IN BECAUSE OF LOUD PARTIES AND TWICE THIS WEEK BECAUSE OF THE STEREO BEING ON LATE AT NIGHT. I HAVE ALSO COMPLAINED TO MY MANAGER AT LEAST 12 TIMES BUT NOTHING, AND I MEAN NOTHING HAS CHANGED. AS A MATTER OF FACT, SHE MAKES EVERY EXCUSE IN THE BOOK FOR THEIR ACTIONS, AS IF TO PROTECT THEM. I CAN NOT SPEAK TO THESE PEOPLE ABOUT THE PROBLEMS BECAUSE THEY ONLY SPEAK SPANISH. I HAVE ASKED MY MANAGER FOR HER SUPERVISORS PHONE NUMBER, BUT SHE WOULD NOT GIVE IT TO ME. SHE TOLD MEE THAT THE SUPERVISOR COMES TO THE OFFICE ON WEDNESDAYS, AND THAT AS SOON AS SHE SAW THE SUPERVISOR PULL IN THE COMPLEX ON THE FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY SHE WOULD CALL ME SO I COULD GO DOWN THERE AND ACT LIKE IT WAS JUST A COINCIDENCE THAT SHE JUST HAPPENED TO BE THERE WHILE I WAS COMING TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. BUT OF COURSE I NEVER GOT THAT CALL ON THE FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY SHE CANT TELL THE SUPERVISOR OF THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAD RECENTLY WAS MY HEATER BROKE. I TOLD THE LOVLEY MANAGER AND SHE STATED THAT THE MAINT. GUY WOULD BE ABLE TO COME THE NEXT DAY AND FIX IT, BUT IF NOT SHED GIVE ME A CALL AND LET ME KNOW WHEN. WELL, HE NEVER CAME AND SHE NEVER CALLED, BUT ABOUT A WEEK LATER I CAME HOME AND FOUNT 2 MAINT. MEN IN MY APARTMENT FIXING MY HEATER. I NEED TO ADD THAT I NEVER EVER GAVE PERMISSION FOR ANYONE TO ENTER WHILE I WAS AWAY, ALTHOUGH WHEN I TALKED TO HER ABOUT IT SHE SAID I HAD GIVEN HER PERMISSION BUT THAT I MUST HAVE " FORGOTTEN ". AND THAT IS A TOTAL LIE. BASICALLY I NEED TO KNOW IF I POSSIBLY HAVE A CASE FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT. THIS PROBLEM HAS GONE ON WAY TOO LOMG AND IM AT MY WITTS END. THANKS, I CAN BE REACHED AT - [email protected]

They are the neighbors from hell.

First decide what you want to do -- move out or sue. It is unlikely the landlord will be able to control the neighbors and he may not want them to move unless he gets another tenant.

Write a letter to the management company setting forth the facts and repeated complaints. Demand that they take action.

PS A lawyer's letter might help....
