Angry Seeking a question and solution

So my new neighbors are younger than I, I am somewhat comfortable with my soberity at this point with tons of help, support and assistance. These new people are disrespectful, i live in a quiet apartment complex, very low noise very low loudness afterhours. Last night these people had people over and they were drinking, coming and going, loud playing music until 2 am. I talked with my quiet neighbors upstairs, i have lived in the same complex for 5 years without complaining about anyone, i guess they have been partying loud 2 nights in a row i thought this was an isolated incident. When i went to my padio this am i found beer cans, an old pair of wet jeans, shoes and a t shirt on my padio. I am going to complain to the leasing office and talk about this incident, i did not call the police because i understand that people need downtime but this is more of a disregard for others, what do you think.

Sounds reasonable to me. You did good not marching over there and getting

into in with them. Now you can calmly put in a complaint.

There is a law in my city concerning resonable expectation of quiet living.

Ha Ha you might even be able to slip the AA pamphlet 44 questions under their

door in early morning.

Put in a complaint to the building manager, maybe even get the other upset neighbors to complain too so they know it's not just you being disturbed by these rude people.

You're doing the right thing. This could have turned into something much worse than you may have imagined. I applaud your decision, BKP.

Hmm...
The long weekend might have something to do with the late party.
I sure hope it is an islated incident.

Read the lease agreement...usually there is a "noise cut off" time.

I hope you took pictures of the trash left on your patio.
That would support your complaint to management if you decide to do so.

Apartment living requires respect of others. Perhaps this is the first
place these new young people have had on their own.

Yes I would make a complaint ...sometimes a warning letter from
management is all that is necessary to calm people down.

All my best....

BKP you did well in not making a stink, this may be an isolated incident with some youthful neighbors, if the complaint to management does nothing then it may be time to take things a bit further, confrontation is not one of them I would say though.

Yes we do need to accept things we can not change, but in this instance there is something you can do to change this situation, no you can not change them as people, that you will need to accept, but you can change the lack of respect they have for others.

Yes we accept that which we can not change, but that does not make us door mats to be walked upon, in sobriety we work towards taking rational actions where we can. Complaining to the land lord is a good rational action, if that does not work then calling the law and then letting the land lord know is the next rational action to take. We maintain rights to peace in our own homes whether we are drinking or not.

I hate people like this, dis respecting others. You'd be right to complain. Since living out in the countryside ive forgotten what its like to have neighbours. All mine are sheep and squirrells now

Yes, BKP, I agree with Carol.

Document what is happening.

Take photos, write down a log of events and keep it very detailed. Speak with the manager of the apartment building, and let him know what is happening. If others in the building are concerned about the noise, ask them to speak with the manager as well. You don't need to put up with irresponsible behaviour.
