Help! I moved into a new apt building in November. rent here is about 3k but avg rent in this area is way less. There’s been many things I’ve noticed AFTER moving in but the one thing that I can’t get over is the people who live above me. I HEAR their music at 7 am. Like I can sing along to the lyrics that’s how loud it is. It sounds like someone is running back and forth / moving furniture alllll day. It’s driving us insane. Can someone please help with what I can say to the leasing office?

Tell the leasing office all the things you are telling us. You are paying your rent the people above you need to have respect for other people living in the building. If they can’t do that they need to live in a private house.

As D2 mentioned, there are usually quiet hours so would look into those. Unfortunately this happens all the time in apartments because they are made so cheaply. If 7am is outside of the quiet hours, I would record with a time stamp and then in an email let the leasing office know that the noise is affecting your quality of life. I would nicely mention that you are paying above market rent and would expect management to make sure tenants are following the rules. Then ask them to advise on a path forward.

My friend went through something similar recently. The most important thing is to have a paper trail about your requests and complaints to the leasing office. They should talk to the people above you, send notice and get it resolved. If all of that doesn’t work, you can also ask the leasing office to move you to some other apt at same rent and cover any moving costs. If they don’t agree, you can talk to a lawyer to send legal notice to the leasing company. Also would be good to record audios of the noise with time stamps as a proof. Hope it doesn’t come to this and leasing office takes action soon.

We had a similar issue. Brand new building, looked great but such cheap materials and thin walls. Wasnt a problem for us at first because we were one of the first to move into the building. But once the units around us started to fill up the noise and smells became unbearable. Landlord would not let us get out of the lease, but he owned/managed other buildings and we finally agreed that we could move to a similar unit in one of those under basically the same lease.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I guess I just don’t know how to word this email that’s how mad I am. Idk what they did but my light fixture legit moved I thought it was going to fall off!

Does your building not have quiet hours? 7 AM is pretty early. They can’t do anything if it’s after quiet hours.
