The people that live below my roommate and me were generally quiet until about a month and a half ago. They blast music at all hours of the day and night (I'm talking weeknights at 1am and weekdays at 8:30am), at least five days a week. The first time I asked them politely to turn their music down, they obliged. The next day, they went right back to blasting it again. I let it go for a few days, but eventually I went back down to ask them again to turn it down. I banged on their door for a good five minutes and they didn't bother answering it this time. They knew it was me -- I could tell they saw me through the peep hole and decided not to deal with me. This happened a few more times, and each time they'd turn the music down a little to make sure someone was knocking, see it was me through the peep hole, and turn the music back up and ignore me.

In the meantime, I called the landlords and told them what was going on -- that the neighbors were blasting their music so loud it was shaking our entire apartment and I couldn't even hear the tv that was five feet in front of me. The landlords talked to the neighbors, but it apparently didn't do anything to make them stop. The next day, they were back to blasting music again. I ended up calling the cops, who showed up after they had already shut the music off, so of course the cops didn't do anything and didn't file a report.

This past Saturday they were at it again well before 9am, and I was so frustrated that I left an angry voicemail on my landlords' phone, saying I'm more than willing to break the lease if they don't do anything about these people. They came by my apartment and talked about the situation with me, and they seemed genuinely frustrated with them as well. They talked to them yet again, but they're STILL blasting music! I'm at my wit's end at this point, and we still have three months left on our lease. The noise isn't the only problem we've had with these people (they have 10 -- yes, 10 -- dogs that bark constantly and trample all over our porch, and the people themselves are constantly yelling, just to name a couple things). They've gotten more than enough strikes, yet they're still not out!
