Loud neighbors in apartment

[Francisco137]

Hello, I live in Texas and recently new neighbors have moved in, they have loud children that they let run and stomp all day long, I have already tried to speak to them but it won't stop , can I file a small claim court for this situation? How much?

For what would you sue? Did you talk to the property manager/LL? If so, what did they say regarding the children behaving like children?

BTW: If you ever come up with a successful theory to sue you neighbor...let me know. I will go after my neighbors that were having live band practice over my head for 4 months. There must be big bucks I could get just for them killing my love of Billy Idol.

No. No you do not have the basis for a successful case, based on what you have described.

You have aired your concerns to the parents.
You can also complain to the LL/property manager, if "all day" includes late at night (check your lease, gymnastics after 10 PM is probably not allowed).
If the decibel levels are above a certain level at certain times of night, a noise complaint is warranted.

If these are normal children noises, then recall the happier moments of your childhood.
If you suspect abuse, contact the authorities.

Phoebe, just so you don't waste too much time adding unnecessary (albeit nice) words to threads on this forum, FreeAdvice is a U.S. law forum. We do not entertain U.K. questions.
