Can You Terminate a Lease Due to the Apartment's Refusal to Address Noise Complaints?

I've lived at the place for 5 months and never had an issue with noise. Either a new resident moved in or a single dad suddenly got custody of his two young kids. There are constantly running and stomping. I can hear the dad shout at the kids every day. I asked them to address it twice and it continues to persist.

Probably going to have to talk to the dad yourself. Don't get your arse whipped though.

Ask one more time. If it doesn't work, ask them yourself or call the cops.

I made a recording and sent it to the front desk. I shouldn't be able to hear full conversations from all rooms including the bathroom.

College apartments are what allowed me to decide I wanted land with a house in the middle.

But a house.
Problem solved.
Seriously.

What does your lease say? Probably some language on right to peaceful stay if you are current etc etc.

If I can void my lease, I fully intend to.

Put the request in writing. Either email or type up a letter and keep a copy. As far as noise from above, that’s hard to address unless it’s yelling. If the stomping is really loud you may have a subfloor issue and they CAN do something about that.
Doubt you will be let out if your lease, though. Maybe ask for a transfer?

I recorded a video of a dad shouting and reprimanding a child named Gracie who was stomping and crying.

In the movies, I always see people banging on the apartment ceiling with a broom handle.

Check the dad's knuckles before you start anything

Post it or you are full of shite, there is no way you could hear her name

1. no
2. speak with dad
ask for specifics
let him know you can hear it all.
ask if he has visitation rights now.
find out what the scene is.
he may not have a clue how to parent
PS some fools let their kids run wild.

Come on man, talk to him first. He may be a single dad with the world on his back. You may even get to know the kids and befriend Dad. Let the inconvenience become an opportunity, not an obsession.

I'm paying an absurd amount for rent. I could have paid a cheaper premium for a house. For that much money, I expect a peaceful community.

What’s happened to us that we can’t meet our neighbors and ask if everything is okay?
Posted on 12/4/17 at 10:25 pm to StringedInstruments
If someone complained to you about noise wouldn't you get defensive? For all he knows, it's the neighbor next to him that complained. If the guy is unhinged, he could make my life miserable by now knowing the person who could possibly cause himself and his kids to be evicted. When I complained the first time, the front desk said that quiet time is from 10:00pm-8:00 am. it's now past 10 and still an issue.

I honestly think that is just a part of life in apartments...unless they are playing a stereo loudly or something like that, I am betting that you are shite out of luck. I know of no law that would address kids running in their own apartment.
honestly, the best you can hope for is to be allowed to move.
