That's why I like living in my house.happy


Our minimum wage here is like 10 or 12 bucks an hour by law. Just so they can pay the rent. This is fairly well priced for a nice 2BR and it's a beautiful place. I've lived next to people that blare music. I am not doing that at all. That's what gets me.

Apartment living sucks, I'm sure condos are the same... almost everywhere I've lived, someone's always bumping their bass... yes, it's REALLY annoying. Especially if there's no break in it. She should've thought about that before she moved in, though. As long as you're not breaking regulations with the condos or being completely obnoxious, you have every right to listen and play your music. Whining about tvs and stereos is just about as lame as whining about someone walking upstairs. Suggest she buy herself some earplugs. laugh


I know. I have lived in similar situations and I am very conscious of my neighbors. The music isn't loud at all. That's what gets me. They want absolute silence. I am closing my cupboards at a normal noise level now instead of gently closing them as I normally do. I'm so bad! devil

Oh she also asked about the other neighbors. They NEVER complained and I have lived here for 4 years now. The only thing is no laundry after 9pm which is completely reasonable. That thing makes a lot of noise.


When I was renting a flat, an older man lived downstairs from me.

One night I was ironing and watching TV on low volume. It was about 10:15 p.m.

Well, he started pounding on my floor with a broom handle and yelling that he was trying to get to sleep.

I was just too wild - ironing work clothes and watching the news.laugh

i wear headphones at night.


I would have to buy some. They would be a hassle, I'd be chained to a 4 ft radius.

The condos were all sound proofed. I honestly think their landord tore up his side of the wall and destroyed the sound barrier. I had to listen to about 8 months of pounding and tearing away as he went from one end of his condo to the other. I have no idea what he did but it was a major project he could not finish himself.

Thanks too myssfytz, I don't really care what the condo regs say. I rent at 1350 a month and if I can't play my music, I will move.


Dang. That's alot for rent. Ouch. That's more than my house payment.




Southern California sucks 2 bedroom flat (apartment ) $1475 per month

better hope u don't get a loud gf


devil devil Oh I would feel so bad if they were to hear anything.

Did I post this here? One of the guys was working out last week for like 30 minutes and he sounded like he was having sex. It was disgusting.

This is the same place with the dog that barks all day long too. I know I posted on that. I mentioned both things to her and she laughed shaking her head like I was making things up.

I'm unreasonable? laugh Where's that volume knob? bigsmile

I'd dig around and see if they can't get in trouble for removing the sound barrier between the rooms... cuz like you said, it sounds like that's what they've done...


I asked the landlord about it. He looked away (sign of lying) "oh that, yeah what was quite a project...no hey listen.." <--changed the subject.

Maybe you can find a regulation about that, get the landlord in trouble, that person will have to move... and voila, problem solved. Soundproof bedrooms are a must happy
