My LANDLORD is loud and noisy

By Rebecca

Im a student living in a one bedroom basement apartment. I live underneath my landlords, who occupy the residence onthe upper two floors. The place seemed perfect, a little out of date but quiet neighbour not TOO close to the university and the rent was a pretty good deal! They told me they had kids who took music lessons and sometimes practiced. I didn’t mind as I AM a music major and i enjoy hearing the music. What i didn’t know was their youngest child (6) is spawn of satan.

I only have Saturdays off from work/school and I like to do my homework and get some rest. In the lease it says quiet hours from 8pm to 10 am. At 7 every morning "Johnny" will stomp down the stairs and slam on the floor above my bed. He will scream, sing, jump and stomp all on the floor above my place. At first i thought that i was complaining. But when I had friends stay they night they said they were worken up many times by his brattish behaviour.  HA!! Just right now his sister complained "Mom i cant hear cause Johnny is being loud". I hear entire conversations the family has. I know for a fact that there is no fire block between our building which is against code in my area, which affects the sound barrier. I have asked my landlords many times if they could get their son to quiet down. They say its not possible.their son isnt loud. they were apparently very offended I said such things about their precious little angel (NOT!)

Its awful, he’s a brat and my landlords are being so rude knowing i live down here and they let him get away with things i would never let ANY child get away with (especially with someone living downstairs!!!)

They break a lot of other rules (they store thigns in my apartment and enter randomly when I’m not here, they dont change the locks for new tenants and there is no deadbolt of my private entrance, and there are a lot of building code violations)

the thing is I DO NOT want to move in the middle of a semester, my school is very intense. I have a great deal price wise too and its an amazing area. Im only going to be living here until May (its September now) so i dont want to have to move twice in a year (HATE MOVING)

WHAT DO I DO! Cant lodge a noise complaint with my landlord when the noise complaint IS my landord

HELP!!!!!
