I have horrible downstairs neighbors. They have been complaining when all we are doing is walking around in our own apartment. We keep pretty regular hours and are generally asleep between 9 and 5;30 a.m. We have made an effort to limit our activity at night and early morning but they are never happy. They bang on their ceilings constantly and frequently blast their stereo to be spiteful.

I am very unhappy with management because they have not been proactive in resolving this issue. a few months ago i was talking on the phone on the balcony and she went outside and started shouting "fuck you bitch" at me.

last month i was outside, walking my dog, minding my own business when she ran up to me and grabbed me by the shirt and started cussing me out. she threatened me saying, 'don't fuck with me bitch because i know who you are." i called the police and a report was made, but the city attorney said that without witnesses she probably wouldn't get summoned to court. i made management aware of the problem and they have done nothing since then. we wanted to move to another apartment (preferably downstairs) and were told that we would have to pay a $200 move-in fee. I can't wait until our lease is up.

I honestly believe that if you choose to live in a downstairs apartment, you are going to hear footsteps. if it bothers you, then request an upstairs apartment. also when you shop for an aprtment ask about what kind of carpeting and soundproofing they have to prevent noise transmission.

likewise, upstairs dwellers are not at liberty to run, stomp, or jump. they should try to limit their activity at night, but within reason. everybody has a right to live/

i am disgusted with some of these posts that suggest it's acceptable to purposefully make noise (with air horns or loud music) in response to a problem. if you have a problem, be respectful and ask your neighbor politely. i would have been more considerate if they had been more polite in the beginning.

my neighbors were given the option of an upstairs apartment and refused.
