Laziness, but if your landlord is failing to provide you with quiet enjoyment of your home, in many jurisdictions that's a breach of your tenancy agreement, speak to your local tenant union.
Not sure why landlord simps are out here defending them
Because they want the cash and not the responsibility of having as many tenants crammed together as possible.
Because noise limits exist and police have the power to enforce them.
Building manglement don't. The best they can do is say keep it down.
Not sure where you live, but that hasn't been my experience at all.
There could be regional variations based on things like tenant laws, local law enforcement policies, and even local culture.
Another day at No Stupid Questions, another bait account.
Another day of someone who thinks they know everything by their armchair.
In my area they would get fined as a nusiance property and the fines involved are not cheap.
What do you expect a building manager to do and why do you think boise complaints are their responsibility?
Ultimately OPs problem isn’t other tenants, it’s the noise.
Wow, that's uhhhh, an interesting take. If one tenant is too noisy, you want the building manager to install noise dampening somethings? And who determines if it's too noisy, the landlord who'd have to pay for the renovations?
Edit: Is this actually a standard procedure where you live? Can I ask where that is? That'd just be such a wild way of doing things, I can't even imagine how that would scale in a modern apartment.
That's the law in pretty much anywhere that derived their tenancy agreements from English law.
Sadly it is not common practice anywhere as your landlord violating your lease in such a way, it is difficult to get anything done about it, because ultimately you still need somewhere to live and getting out of your contract isn't a win, in the way that your landlord getting out of his and rendering you homeless if you don't agree to his terms is.
I can’t even imagine how that would scale in a modern apartment.
You can't imagine, the guy taking 1/2 your paycheck having to actually earn that money?
That’s the law in pretty much anywhere that derived their tenancy agreements from English law.
Please feel free to share an example, because this seems like absolute nonsense.
The landlord’s duty to adhere to quiet enjoyment means the landlord must:-
- Ensure the tenant’s actual possession of the property is not interfered with by the landlord or the landlord’s agent
- Prevent any interference with the tenant’s enjoyment of the property. Interference may arise because of an omission or failure to act.
The right is usually used to protect against harassment from landlord, but it extends much further.
You sound like a landlord.
Um, to do something?
Because I'm paying them fucking rent money and shit for a spot? Duh!
To be slightly more polite, as this seems like one of your first places... You absolutely want to keep a neutral third party involved.
In my building, some of us are paying half or a third what new tenants do, the manager has a clear financial incentive to remove as many old timers as possible (and has tried her best.) If the norm was that building managers patrol for noise etc, you could much more easily get into a "he said/she said" with someone who has the means and motivation to remove you. Having the norm be police means that the complaint has to be somewhat valid, not just "enough that the building manager can increase their income stream."
Landlord shit.
Wait, so you think the building manager is being lazy by dumping the work on you to contact the people who can solve YOUR problem?
