| Comment | I had this happen in a previous flat - fully carpeted no parties no loud music. She complained about noise all the time because of footsteps, one time complaining because my partner was making lunch. She was clearly stressed as she mentioned her newborn but it was really unpleasant to feel like I couldn’t even walk in my own flat!
I don’t think their expectations are realistic, I live below people now and hear footsteps and the kids playing but it’s worth it as I chose this flat, knowing that risk. In my last place I did complain a couple times about upstairs neighbour but they were insanely loud and actually had screaming arguments/police round a few times. I doubt you’re like them! If you’re not like them and just living your life, try your best to stand your ground respectably, it’s not fair for you to have to tiptoe around. |
