I Need Help And Suggestions In Dealing With A Noisy Neighbour by Sanchez01: 7:39pm On Apr 24, 2017 |
I believe my present situation won't come to many as new. Problem is, I have never experience such as this before and it is quite hard as to what technique and approach to adopt in tackling this issue. I would be going into details so that my plight can be clearly understood. Just recently, two tenants moved into a newly built semi detached apartment in my compound, a room and parlour self contain, precisely. The one closest to my apartment is occupied by a young, single guy, most likely a transport company driver, while the other apartment is inhabited by a family of about five (5). Both folks moved in in January. The problem The said young guy does not seem to understand serenity. His music can be so loud that one could feel his heart beat to the baseline of the songs coming from his sound system. Annoyingly, he is not in any way restricted by time as he would max the volume of his sound system, lock his door and go out while his nose slowly sniff life out of everyone around. This has been going on for the past three months now and it is really taking its toll on me. I was at the hospital recently for a medical check up due to sleepless nights and lack of sleep on weekends. I tend to shy away from trouble at the slightest opportunity. I'm also careful not to hurt anyone in any way. I once walked to his apartment to tell him about the noise but it hasn't done much really. The landlord lives within the compound too but rarely stays home. Other tenants have started complaining about the noise but no one has done a thing about it. I have thought about several things I could do to get his attention but I'm not sure how they would leave him after I follow through: 1. I thought about inviting the landlord into this, but I fear it might be extreme as it would look like I have something against him other than this. 2. Take the legal route by asking the police to invite him for disturbance of public peace. 3. Plead and ask for a meeting with other tenants while we address this. I'm at a loss here as I don't want to go to war with anyone. 16 Likes |

Ok. Believe me you are not the only one disturbed. Stylishly know how others feel about the situation. When confirmed everyone doesn't like the attitude. Try meeting the Land lord for a Meeting. There the issue should be discussed . If nothing happened . Call the landlord and talk to him again. If he doesn't act. Try talking to him directly, make him understand the way you really feel about it. If he insist bro you have had enough patience. Go and meet your Lawyer. They like this kind case 84 Likes 1 Share |

Dont approach him as an individual. Since there are other tenants whose peace he also threatens, then call a meeting of other tenants firstly, dont involve him yet. After the meeting all other tenants alongside yourself can approach him intelligently, showing the doctor's report and also refer him to legal decibel requirement by law. Before concluding that meeting with him, let him understand that this is a threat to your health and if he refuses to adhere to your peaceful and diplomatic approach, you will approach your attorney to advise on what you should do legally. 60 Likes 3 Shares |

Alitair:I consider this extreme. He has his generating set, just as I have mine. And truth be told, I don't have a problem with his set because we all moved our generators far away from the house, though within the compound. I'll pass on this, thanks. 7 Likes |

Alitair: This is too extreme and could be counterproductive. Call all the other tenants and have a meeting together with the landlord. The landlord should then talk with the tenant. If that does not work, you can use the legal route. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Hmmmmm, Sanchez01, let all complainers call a meeting and invite the noisy young man. If that doesn't work go enmasse and report him to the landlord, threatening that y'all will quit his house if he doesn't intervene. If this doesn't work, break his door down, seize his speakers and invite the police. I kuku trust myself. Na to shey werey scatter every where 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Ishilove:I had no idea you were online. Your approach though. I trust you The guy has not been aiding my recovery at all. The annoying thing is, I don't have the strength to even make a case. I'm not just built for wàhálà. Worst still, he made my nearly two weeks medical leave a horror. I just might call for a meeting as you suggested, while leaving out the seizing part. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Ishilove:I was about mentioning the emboldened earlier. I have no doubt in my mind about that part I could have forgive him if he chooses to play meaningful songs, but no, uncoordinated noises, in the name of mixtapes and 'selections' are what he would disturb everyone over. This is a whole new experience for me, really. 2 Likes |

Threaten him without words. Leave a dead goats head with a letter on his door. Play with his mind If he does not stop, switch off his light from the meter changeover. Worst case, buy your own sound system. Fight fire with fire 9 Likes |

simply ask your co-tenants if they are happy with the sounds. if no meet the guy on a happy mood and tell him your mind. if he refuse then meet the landlord. my own case was one lady that was engaged. she sabi talk and her voice loud like microphone. she go dey shout my name for downstairs wen she needs something, if I refuse to answer, she go come my flat. na so one cool evening like this I sat her down and scold her. I told her that I don't like her closeness to me and that people thinks both of us na fucking mate while still deceiving my GF. na so mine stop. she no dey even talk to me 5 Likes |
