This daily construction sound is giving me a headache and interupting my daily living . As if 's that's not enough My upstairs neighbor smokes and the smell seeps through the bathroom vents. My son has breathing difficulties, and cannot handle this ...I have put up a curitn to trap the smell as much as I could...My now sleeps on the couch daily so he can breath. so here is my delema...I have written letters, made pleanty of office visits and phone calls to my landlord to stop a noise complaint. He has given me two options DEAL WITH IT or MOVE OUT! I cannot move due to my finacial hardship and I can not deal with the noise and pollution anymore.....WHAT CAN I DO?? Need help ASAP...thanks so much

Have you contacted the police? The smoke issue is pretty serious, albeit the noise issue that would drive me nuts. As mentioned, have you spoken to the upstairs neighbors? Invite them to come downstairs and listen to the sound of a tricycle riding across your ceiling. Are these individually owned condos or an apartment complex? If it's a complex, have you asked them about switching units?

I've had inconsiderate neighbors above me in the past and I sincerely empathize with your dilemma. Thankfully, they were evicted (for not paying rent, not because of the noise). I'll be praying for you and your son.

Might be a stupid question but have you tried talking to your neighbour about it? Especially about the smoking issue, bring up that it's going to be damaging their children's lung's as well. Or mentioning the smoking to your landlord, is smoking allowed in your residence?

Or there's always retaliating and trying to beat them at their own game, play loud music etc. See if they get the hint.

Let the kids play and chill out. Did you know it was a smoking apartment before you moved in?

I agree with the landlord because there is absolutely nothing else you can do.

Tell the kid's parents.

deal with it or move out.

Call Social Services or tell them to shut the f.uck up

buy a paintball gun and go to town
