Noisy Neighbours and Evil Landlords

I moved into a ground floor apartment two years back. When we went to view it we thought it was great, spacious and furnished nicely with all major appliances included. We paid our deposit and soon moved in, delighted with out new home. That warm and fuzzy feeling lasted about two hours because that is when our upstairs neighbours moved in. In my estimation there must be atleat fifteen of them living up there in a two bedroom apartment with thin wooden floors. Natives of Romania, they didn't let the idea of confined space deter them from setting up sticks. Of the fifteen, nine are children who don't seem to go to school considering they spend most of the day running aimlessy from one end of the apartment to the other. They rarely seem to venture outdoors and keep their curtains closed all the time. They blare music and dance and jump and scream and bang and worst of all they've stolen all the clothes pegs off my line! :( I've tried tapping the ceiling with my sweeping brush but they just tap back. I've asked my landlord to contact their landlord to complain but he doesn't seem to bothered... So at the end of the day I decided it just wasn't worth it and we handed in our notice! And what a relief it was!Moving out next week! So to ease my stresses I've been watching this vid on repeat... I challenge you to not be endeared :)

  4. That sounds awful! One of my roomates last year (in Canada) arrived home after a night out with no money so couldn't pay her texi. I could hear her begging outside to be let off and I think even offered the taxi driver sex. He then called the police who escorted her into our kitchen, right next to my bedroom. The wanted to see her room for money but she wouldn't let them in cos she had weed in there! She told us she was Brazilian when she moved in, but told the police she was Canadian and then Mexican. After this I fell asleep and don't know what happened next...

    Yes fairly random story but you reminded me of it! And Romanian children does sound worse haha

  5. you're story puts mine to shame! Viewed a house today and opened one of the chest of drawers only to find a collection of hair and nail clippings. It was the worst thing I'vve ever seen in my whole entire life.

  10. I know I'm not even going to bother making an official complaint about them just want to take myself right out of the situation. All this added stress is not helping! On the bright side though we found a lovely new house to rent down the road! :) It has carpets and a backgarden!! AND NO UPSTAIRS NEIGHBOURS!!! :)
