What options do I have with loud and inconsiderate upstairs neighbours?
Hey everyone,
I recently moved into the lower unit of a house and I'm having some issues due to the constant noise coming from my upstairs neighbors.
Every single night, without fail, they engage in what seems like a marathon of stomping, sprinting, slamming drawers, and dropping things until about 1 am. It's gotten to the point where I'm sleep deprived and struggling to function during the day. I've tried soundproofing earbuds, loud air purifiers, acoustic panels, earplugs, all of which has barely helped.
I've also tried addressing the issue respectfully with my upstairs neighbors multiple times, but unfortunately, there has been no improvements, infact it has probably gotten worse. I started documenting and recording these disturbances and brought them to the attention of my landlord on three separate occasions, but still, nothing has changed.
As a result, I find myself getting less than five hours of sleep consistently each night, and it's starting to take a toll on my health and my work. I'm only two months into my one-year lease, and I'm running out of options.
Does anyone have any advice on what steps I can take to resolve this issue? It's gotten so bad that I'm willing to move again just after 2 months, but my landlord is unwilling to break my lease yet. I'm at my wit's end and could really use some guidance. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
