I left my POS abusive husband on July 1st and moved my own apartment, needing peace. The place I moved is a house divided into two apartments, mine being on the main floor.
On August 1st a couple with a young kid and a dog moved on to the top two floors, and they never shut up. From dawn to well past dusk it’s endless barking, stomping, running, screaming, slamming doors, and so on. When they moved in I left a bottle of wine on their doorstep and a note saying welcome, and I know that kids and dogs are nuts and it’s hard to find a decent place to live with them, but just a heads up about the complete lack of soundproofing. They ignored both the gesture and the request. (Couldn’t believe that.)
I called bylaw about their dog barking nonstop for seven hours straight two days in a row, and that’s been sort of handled, but the rest of the noise continues.
I texted the new tenants. No reply.
I spoke to them in person. No change.
I texted my landlady and asked her about them putting rugs down or something. She lied to me (“that house has the best soundproofing money can buy!”), brushed me off and did nothing. Apparently she told the upstairs people that the soundproofing is so good that I can’t hear a thing down here.
I texted the tenants again. Nothing.
I bought a pair of noise cancelling headphones and wear them all day, every day and can still hear the stomping.
I’ve decided to move. I didn’t realize it when I moved in, but my nervous system is destroyed. I’ve tried blasting music when they get super loud, but I really need peace. I left an abuser who’s destroyed my faith in people and I found more inconsiderate dickheads on leaving.
I can’t feasably be out of here until October 1st, so in the meantime, I just want them to shut up. SInce that obviously will not happen, I want them to move out.
Spell ideas? I do not want to hurt or cause harm to anyone, but I am done being a doormat and being so stressed in my own home when I came here to heal and start my life over.
