I am on the third floor (top floor) my downstairs neighbor is very volatile.
She really is awful to live above.
I am 8 months pregnant and get up at 6am each every morning (as does hubby) and we will tip toe around till 9…and she still yells at us…I don’t know what she is going to do when baby gets here.
I am just wondering what a reasonable time is to vacuum my apartment during the week, my by-laws say 7am but I am not going to instigate anything with her. Does 10 am on a week day seem like an acceptable time?
Thanks
I’ve tried dealing with the landlord, it resulted in her coming upstairs and yelling in my face for 10 min…and making the situation even worse.
This all started because she wasn’t cleaning up her dog mess in the back and we asked her to (she has two small dogs and thought it wasn’t an issue, but we were stepping in it) before that we were fine with each other
I do call every time she yells and there isn’t much the landlord can do (so he says). She is suppose to be moving, she yelled that at us one day, I just don’t want to make the situation worse before she leaves…
Oh yeah
She doesn’t work. If she did work nights I would be much more sensitive to that, I have worked them and know it can be tough.
but she does not work at all…
vacuum anytime you want as long as it is not to early or to late . go ahead and clean your apt.f#$%^&*k her plus she’s not working.
When we owned our 3 family house, we requested that tenants keep loud noises to the hours of 8am to 8pm during the week, and from 10am to 10pm on the weekends. Those are pretty reasonable times for those who work average hours.
I think 10 AM is more than generous for you to wait to vacuum. I wouldn’t be that polite considering the history.
Also – this woman is impeding your right to the peaceful enjoyment of your home (it’s actually a law), and you can (and probably should), press the issue with the landlord. He (or she) has to do something to fix the situation. Check into your landlord/tenant laws and find the specific wording for your state that talks about the peaceful enjoyment of your apartment, and send a letter to your landlord specifying the problems that you’re having, and the reason that it is hindering your rights.
Good luck, and if I were you, I’d be stomping around. 😉
tell the loud mouth that every time she opens her mouth and you report it to the landlord he deducts $25.00 off your rent and wish her a good day.
Your landlord needs to get a spine: This female (I’ll be polite here) is way out of line. You’ve compromised more than enough.
Go over your landlord’s head about the gal.
Good luck.
if i were you, i would start to NOT care because she’s moving and you’re allowed to vacuum your apartment. she can’t stop you. that’s just stupid.
if possible see if they can move you to a lower floor but i think 10am is fine that more than courteous hopefully u dont have much time left on your lease and can move but this time ask for lower floor if possible good luck
I’m sorry you are living above such a jerk. Hopefully, she really is moving soon and you will get someone nicer. I think that 10am is a perfectly reasonable time to vacuum on a weekday, particularly if you know that she doesn’t work nights.
more than acceptable.however i believe you are going to have to addressee the issue with whoever manages the property,they are the of people that are going to create problems if you do not mitigate thru management
stuff her do it at 7 am next day every-time she yells at you(then explain you will do it later if she is nice) if she is not 7 AM it is
she will catch on fast
If the bylaws say 7 and you want to vacuum..go for it. It’s not your fault the lady below is crotchety
I would make a special point to get up at 3 am to vacuum……once she knows how bad it could be ……maybe she will lighten up
That’s just me, I like to push the envelope……. but I know you won’t do that
