This is common. First, state the state you live in. In Ohio, after 11:00 any music must be down or else you can call the police and they could be cited for it. Also, record any activity with the music including audiotapes and times, I would even try and get picture of the activity. If possible. The police reports would help you in the future. Also, no matter the state local city ordinances should state the time music must be lowered. Furthermore, write a letter and stick it on their door (check the legality of this), stating that you feel the music is too loud. Now with the smoking there really isn't much that you can do in that scenerio. Tenants are allowed to smoke in their apartments. I would suggest that you alert the landlord of the issue and the landlord can request but not demand that they open the window. The noise alone might be enough to move you out, however I believe a court order might be nescessary. You could sue the other tenants for the noise in small claims court if nescessary. I would also suggest that you send a letter to the landlord, make it certified just so you can document the event that occured. Incase you take it to court stating that the apartment was uninhabitable thus your moving out.
