mujie96 0 #1 September 26, 2003 to avoid a lease termination fee of I want to break a lease because the noise level of my apartment complex is completely ridiculous? I feel like I'm either in a damn nursery or a college frat house. Its supposed to be a nice complex but I'm getting miserable... Just keep swimming...just keep swimming....

AggieDave 6 #2 September 26, 2003 Do you call the police for noise voilations? If not, start doing that, keep a copy of the report/get a copy of the report after the fact. Get a good dozen for a month, complain to the management office too. After a month of complaining (and no solution, since there won't be), go back to the lease office with all your documentation and tell them to fucking suck it. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

RevJim 0 #3 September 26, 2003 #1, formal, written complaint. #2. db (decible) readings, with witensses, preferably cops. Call to complain about the noise, show them a db meter, then make a comment about what the "normal" sound level is. Be sure and give them a number at least 25 db lower than the noise. Call the freaking landlord. All the time, literally. All you need is ONE documented case of loudness. The rest are assumed. In other words, get one instance recorded. Call the cops, whatever. After that, at random times, call the cops AND the landlord to complain about the noise, even if there isn't any. Works wonders. Cops show up, all is quiet. They blame it on a scanner, eavesdrop, whatever. too bad, so sad, they are "known" violators. One couple that had 2 really nasty kids made it 3 weeks next to us. I probably would have let them slide, but 2 days after they moved in, an 11 year old boy of theirs told my wife "Fuck you bitch, i'll walk on your lawn if I feel like it." Needless to say, they are long gone. ~sigh~ Some people's freaking kids.It's your life, live it!

My kids are raised to the same standards that I was, which includes the occasionally used (and earned) leather belt. Throw me in jail, I don't care. at least I feel as though I can trust my kids in society i the future to survive on their own.It's your life, live it!

AggieDave 6 #7 September 26, 2003 I hear ya, I'm only 23, but I grew up getting serious swats on the butt. I also had to use Sir and Mam when addressing my folks and any one else for that matter. Well, since my dad is a retired AF Col, I guess that makes sense...never mind that he's older (65 now) and was raised MUCH differently then others were.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
