My only comment is about the door slamming, good luck with the rest of it- I mean it.
Some people just slam doors, car doors included, I don't get it either. My neighbor downstairs is the same way and we have a metal gate that she slams in addition to her front door. In her defense there is a large draft that takes hold of the front door when you go to close it and it closes harder then you intend. None the less it takes your breathe away when your trying to nap.
There is a product they sell at the hardware stores that silences the slamming. It's a thin foam strip with an adhesive on the back. Be sure to measure or 'eye up' how much room between the door and the frame will allow, they sell different thicknesses. Works like a charm. Also works on loose fitting doors that rattle, (I like my sleep).
Hope that helps a little, save your dollars and move, hang in there.
