You are trying to bring in a new tenant into an apartment the OP is trying to quit due to incessant noise pollution? Do you know how damaging such noise could be? I guess the person has high ability to tolerate such noise


People make compromise. I've connected four Nairalanders for monthly rentals. Because of their financial power, they tolerate. If it's not a good idea, it could be shoved without cynicisms

That's the first thing I look out for when getting a new apartment. Any compound with more than 3 children is a no no for me. Any church or mosque around, ur name na sorry. I hate noisy environments
So when you get your own children you will run away from them.

You can lay your complain to your caretaker/Landlord, you might not be able to get your money immediately but you deff will when another occupant takes the place, or better still look for someone to take the place your self

We should give you advice on what exactly?
Re: I Want To Quit The Apartment I Moved Into Just A Month Ago. Noise Is Killing Me by Excuzeme: 7:43pm On Feb 28, 2020
blank:
Please file a report with LASEMA and they will take the necessary action. Grinding machines should be in the markets and not residential areas.

Thank you very much, God bless you.

I have been reading all the comments from the first and it seems Nigerians generally dont know their left from their right.
Everyone was coming up with some silly, yahoo-type of ideas.

A person has a constitutional right to quiet enjoyment of their house/home/apartment or place of legitimate abode.
That is the LAW.
The Op paid for the house, he has a right to enjoy it.

Now, it is not the Landlord that is causing him harm, it is the noisy and heartless neighbours.
Govt has setup and agency that deals with excessive environmental noise, from any quarters.

He just needs to involves the agency and make sure they take necessary action.

I had a similar problem with three religious houses in my area. I built my house before these religious houses came to setup shop thus, there is no way l would have known what would happen.
These prayer houses will use a Public adress system, to broadcast music, prayers and all sorts (even internet commentary from their favourite preacher) in the middle of the night. At times, it is only two people in on eof these places and yet they are using oublic adress system to pray!
I went to plead with them that they are causing noise pollution and they should just let the PA system face INSIDE their place of worship and not outside, as we neighbours did not ask to be served whatever they are cooking!
Alas, they tagged me "An enemy of God"!
Even when they are doing their friday prayers, they will be mentioning me on their PA and asking members to pray that something should happen to their father so he can let them be in the area! grin

I downloaded a Sound Meter on my phones.
I began to detail the magnitude of their noise using the Sound Meter on one phone while doing a video of my actions on another.
At times, i will put on NTA and let it show the date and time of my video recording and there was a time, inside my bedroom, the noise hit 130decibels! No human can take that.
After proper documentation of my efforts to make them see reason and the level of their noise, times, etc, l packaged my Petition, through my lawyer, to LASEMA and the Agency served them Notice of Abatement after which, they would be charged to Court.

Two immediately took notice and reduced the level of noise but one was forming "I know the Presidency"....until he recieved a Court Notice and that is when it dawned on him that l was not joking!
That is when he began to beg and asked that we withdraw the case, because l was also claiming Civil damages at the same time but separately, through my lawyer. Since l dont really need hi smoney, l amde him sign an undertaking not to use a PA System facing outside his place of worship and that at no time must the noise be greater than 35decibels, if l measure it from my end.

Now, l can sleep deeply and think with my head.
My drift is that we should stop taking shortcuts.
The op should inform his Landlord and ask that he speaks with them or refund hi smoney otherwise he should go and report the people responsible for the noise and the landlord, to LASEMA.
Packing out is not the best option because even where you are going might be serene at first, until your neighbour decides to start selling record and blaring his Speakers grin Will you pack out again? undecided


We need to start prosecuting Churches and Mosques for violating our right to peaceful and quiet existence, include all those poor people who do party on the road, those who sell market and use a big speaker to play unsolicited music, those who operate noisy industries in a residential neighbourhood (mechanics, welders, Grinders, Okadas, noisy area-boys, etc).

What we dont realise is that some of the mad people we see, some of those that jump into the Lagoon, could be a result of mental disturbance occassioned by excessive noise!.
Noise Pollution is not different from smoke pollution or water pollution, all can be deadly if not stopped on time.
We cant keep making excuses for bad behaviour out of fear or reverence for those who dont give a fnck about us.

I had this same experience too in my two bed apartment. i was on the first floor, while the grinding machine was on the flat below mine.the crazy and really fustrating thing about the location of this grinding machine was that it was in in -between the two rooms. So when the machine starts, both rooms are affected. We endured this for 5years. Geeze, you just cannot imagine my joy when i moved out.The way i moved out was so fast, even my wife did not come back after we moved the first of our properties..Even though mama had passed on by then ( sad God rest her soul ) her daugthers continued with the business.Its a thing of the past for me now cos i made sure where i moved to is more serene....Geeze...it was one crazy 5years......

go and ask for ur money he will surely return it. Next time ask questions before u move into an apartment. It is possible the previous tenant left there for the same reason.

It does not matter whather you are a Muslim or Christian and if the offender is a Chruch or Mosque.
Its time we stop all these Emotions and Sentiments!

What if it was a Mosque that was disturbing your peace, will it be okay, just because you are a Muslim?
The Three Prayer houses l took on, one fo them was a Mosque and two were Churches and l dont give a damn.
The one that we eventually served Court notice, belong to my religion and l stil dont care, as long as they are breaking the law.
Even God said we should be considerate in all we do and you wont believe it is only Jehovah Witness people that dont use their PA system to disturb their neighbours because l hear they use normal Home theatre speakers and it is always facing inside their church.
Why cant others be like them, even though most of us dont like them?

If you are serving God, you wotn want to hurt other people by preventing them from sleeping, wich is when thebody heals itself.
You wont use excessive noise to wake them up when they want to sleep, just because you want more members, want to be noticed or think they cant come to the place of worship by themselves (they can use a personal alarm on their phones), without waking up the whol eneighbourhood.

A lot of people forget that Nigeria is a secular State, meaning No State Religion and as such, we must make room for tolerance of each other's ways fo worship without disturbing the others.

First, don't sublet your apartment as some posters above are suggesting.

Talk to your agent/landlord about it, but don't mention your genuine reason, maybe you tell them urgent transfer from work or traveling for a course.

Mind you, agreement, commission and damages won't be refunded.

Report them to Lasepa, Lagos environmental protection agency, they will seal up the store or confiscate the grinding machine. There is an amount of noise that is allowed into the environment.

It would have been easy to control if it was a mosque but trust me where the only mosque in my area is a long walk , the only source of noise in my area is church . No emotional sentiment as you think and that's the truth .

That's how one of my neignours, I don't know weda he is fresh fish that needs icing. This man will not allow NEPA take light, him don run on generator. Even though generator have their house built seperatly in the compound, yet, the noise from his own generator even from the distance is something else, and he puts it on morning, afternoon night, as long as there's no light. If you complain now, it will be like another thing is inside. Some people are just so inconsiderate. If you go and investigate properly now, he does not eat balanced diet LMAO.
