I've been thinking a lot recently and the whole idea of home ownership is completely overrated. We just spent 20,000 on upkeep. On top of Home owner fees, insurance, upkeep, time and energy, etc, the chances of gaining value over other options is not worth it unless you're in a up and coming area.


I am in no rush to buy.

I'm going to tell the correct answer and if you don't take heed, it's on you. Ignore the childish remarks.

Step 1: confront them and tell them this is unacceptable. (It sounds like you've already done this.) If you're ignored, proceed to the next step.

Step 2: call you landlord and tell them they are being too loud and that you demand an immediate resolution.

Step 3: call the police. Over and over and over. I work 70 hours a week and if you frick with my sleep, I will use every possible means to end the situation.

Ignore the people calling you beta and ignore the people telling you to start a fight, throw piss back at them, etc. Handle it like a mature adult. Use the legal system to stop this.

You want to be nice to them after they've been repeatedly keeping you up until 4 am?

You did your part by asking them to turn it down, now call the cops


Call the cops the next time it's happening and also mention that there are always people coming and going at all hours of the night and that you've smelled pot being smoked from their balcony (may even want to throw in that you've seen kids up there too).

It will get very quiet very soon.

Yeah, if you 've asked them to stop and they won't, you pretty much need to call the police.

If they do it tonight when I have to be at work early again tomorrow I'm calling the landlord, and if I dont get an answer, I'm calling Lincoln PD. I work with heavy machinery so going to work with no sleep means I could either hurt myself or someone I work with.

No. Not at all actually. Living in a house vs apartment or owning vs renting has no bearing on adulthood.

The complex manager can boot them. The cops won't do much unless they bust them with drugs.

I know, right? I guess if I was mooching off the system I'd be getting street cred here.

honestly, for any bit of effectiveness will be a total pain in your arse...but if you do nothing, you will just have to live with the shite until you can move out...

you need to notify your landlord of what is going on and tell them that you are escalating this starting immediately...not likely that they will do anything, but they need to be notified.

your town probably has a noise ordinance, so every time you can hear music from their apartment, call the police...and while they are there, just let them know that they will be hearing from you every time you hear music from now on...

it is a pain in the arse if you are like me and don't really like being a jerk, but your choice is to either live with it or escalate it and get some help with it.

respect needs to go both ways

he don't respect you

you need to call the cops about noise after 10pm and refuse to give name even tho they know, they know why you're refusing too.

check to see if they leave a car unlocked then eat a jar of olive salad and a tub of butter.
Wait for the magic then spread the love in their car.

Give out their address to a bunch of homeless people. Tell them about the parties, free booze and food.
