Tennant's Rights, WA - Noisy Neighbors
I moved into my apartment last April. I live in a small apartment complex where most of the tennants are respectful professionals. I had no complaints until two young men moved in right above me around Thanksgiving. They keep odd hours and are unusually noisy. Normally their noise level is annoying but tolerable. There are many times when the stomping, pounding, and other sounds are unbearable. My landlord is well aware of the problem, but she claims that there is nothing that she can do about it other than to ask them to be quiet. I do not want to move - I just want these kids to shut up or go away! The odd thing is that their apartment was occupied before and I never heard so much as a peep from those tennants. I am new to Seattle, so I am not at all familiar with how to go about handling this situation. I have been documenting the worst of the noise. Any advice would be appreciated tremendously. Thank you!
