Neighbors

So the neighbors above us are really nice. But I have a problem with the wife. I work from home and I like to listen to my music. Well she has wrote me a text saying- can you turn your music down. The funny thing is their tv has been too loud. Do I tell them to turn it down? No. So yesterday she was cleaning her house. Well her music was loud which is very interesting knowing that she has problems with my music being too loud. So I wrote her a text saying I’m okay with your music loud if your okay with mine music. She wrote back and said my husband got a new speaker for Christmas and I was testing it out. I’ve never had my music loud the whole time Ive lived in this apartment. And now you can understand what we have had to go through with your music a bit. What do I do? And how would you deal with a neighbor like this?

Woooooooow!! They are definitely not made to live in an apartment.

For me I feel like they owe the place. Before Thanksgiving they wrote a note to the other neighbors and decided to correct them on how they should be parked. The husband even made a diagram on how their cars should be parked in the complex. What bothered me was they put our names on the note without our permission.

Oh I get it. When we were in our apartment the people below us would complain about our kids playing “too loud” mind you they weren’t running, jumping or anything obnoxiously loud. Then they got a dog and it’d bark and whine all day and night

First of all I don't text my neighbors especially at apartment complex LOL I would tell her to kick rocks if she has a problem then we can talk to the management but honestly don't talk to her anymore you have no reason to

I would just ignore her text and play your music as you want. As long as it’s not on full blast blaring I don’t see an issue

if it’s just normal music playing, not disrespectfully loud, I honestly wouldn’t care ; I would just play it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I used to have a neighbor like that.. an upstairs neighbor. Used to knock on my door and tell me to turn my music down because his baby was asleep.. a few weeks later I get woken up by loud music BLASTING. Come to find out his stereo was in the shop and he was jealous of my system (which could rival any club system) after that I didnt care who was asleep, if I wanted music.. I listened as loud as I wanted to.

No response is the best. Then do as you wish about noise being as respectful as you can. Normal noises during day time hours are ok. If she doesn't like it maybe appartment living isn't for her.

You don't want a war with the people downstairs. You said they were nice so maybe you can invite her for coffee? Then, in person, say that texting makes it difficult to communicate tone. Tell her you want to maintain a good relationship as neighbors and would like to figure out some way to make things livable for both parties. After that, invest in headphones. Hopefully things can be smoothed out this early in the game.

My downstairs neighbor is a nightmare about everything , my best advice is to just ignore her. You pay rent and you should feel comfortable in your own house! You can always go to Management if you need to, we’ve had to several times and she’s currently on “another strike and you’re out” warning because of her behavior towards us and all her neighbors
