Yet Another Reason To Love Apartment Living
I gotta tell ya, this freakin' lease we are stuck in won't be over soon enough. The bird shit has been somewhat cleaned up....they power washed our patio & the roof (but have not taken care of the bird infestation itself....go figure.) but now we are contending with new neighbors who have a penchant for partying every morning at 2:45 am. I am not kidding, this has gone on 3 mornings in a row.
So, I have a three year old and a 6 month old, both of which sleep from 8pm until 6am....this should make me one lucky bitch, but no....the sleep deprivation ensues thanks to the little hoodrats next door and their spine tapping bass. I've already approached them (nicely) twice at which time they somehow disentangle their cigarettes from their lip piercings and turn down the stereo....but that hasn't deterred them from doing it again the next night. I fear what tonight will be like, seeing as it's a Friday. I am in such a rotten mood (can you tell?) because there's really nothing I can do about this. I spoke with the office and they told me that it is a personal issue and if no one is being, in essence, hurt then they can't do anything about it.
In my recurring fantasy, I am on the roof above their patio and when they start disturbing my peace, I can pull out a firehouse and let it do it's thing. Of course I'll be in my cape & tights....Super Bitch is here!
I'm over it. I am too old and too tired to have to live in a freakin college dorm environment.....been there, done that, thank you. And to be honest, the dorms were never this bad. People partied, yes, but they had classes to go to the next day so parties never STARTED at 3am. My husband is convinced these chicks are strippers (yes, they look like they are too) and are coming home from work at 2:30 with guys from the club for some after-hours activities. I think he's right. January......can it PLEASE be January already!!!!!!!

modelmom--the apartment complex
you live in may not do anything , but the police will. You call them out there and they will ask you if you have asked them to turn it down. They will ask them to turn it down also, and then if they come back they will start issuing tickets. At least thats how it works here where I live. There is the old fashioned ass beating, but this day and age, it really isn't worth it, lol.
Nice. I agree. I think I'm
Nice. I agree. I think I'm too old and too spoiled for apartment life. The wh*res next door with fight with their boyfriends at 3am, some @$$hole stole a package out of my mailbox (there's a good chance it was my birthday present), and people don't clean up after their dogs. When I walk outside in the morning and the dew is on the grass, all I can smell is wet dog pee. And all I can think is, "Wow. This is how you choose to live, AND you want to inflict it on everyone else??? How sad for you."
And as a property owner, it just boggles my mind why they would let them get away with stuff like this or the loud neighbors where you are. For example, this place has a reputation throughout the city for people not picking up after their dogs. That's got to be affecting their bottom line. They are attracting every idiot that has a pit bull they won't pick up after, and pretty soon, that's all that will be left here.

I always said that once I was out of an apartment
I wouldn't move back into one. Your right- it's like haveing to babysit adults. You shouldn't have to ask anyone to turn down music, or not to fight so loud that you wake the dead. Parties shouldn't begin at 3:00am when you have neighbors right across the hall, or on the otherside of the walls. Everyone should pick up their dogs poo. It is a shame that you have to deal with these so called adults.
It is so different when you can live in a house, I like it so much better.
Awww Hell NOOOO
Sassys
Time to open a can of whoop kids ass! I would not call the cops, but only because that might make things far worse in the long run...what I would do however is at about 4 pm I would BLAST the living shit out of my stereo, tv, radio etc. then wait till they complain and say "HUH?? Oh so sorry, this is MY fun time" Or being that you are already awake...listen for when they turn everything off, then at THAT precise moment blast your stuff...it will stop them from getting any sleep and when they complain just turn it up louder:) Then again I am evil!
That is actually a better and more
satisfying idea Sassy's has. I dont know why I didn't think of that, as I have done that in my own house. My kids came in one night being loud and obnoxious(my 21 year old was a bit inebriated at the time) and woke me up at 2:30am when I have to get up at 3:15 anyway. I was sooo pissed off, so , what I did was came in from work at about 10am and turned on the stereo and was just as loud as I could be. I had a blast doing it too. Yep Sassy, that is a better idea yet. They may learn a little more from that example.
Make sure they have gone to sleep for about 30 minutes
then blast, dance, bump the walls, whatever it takes to get them up and keep them up. Also, play music you know they will hate. Chances are they aren't into hee haw type of music if they are wearing lip rings.....get the picture?
i'll blast my son's raffi cd's!!
LOLOL!! nothing like a little "baby beluga" at 6 am after they've partied until 5am! muahahahahahaha!

A personal issue???? WTF?
Here's a handy little item I learned about apartment living in Texas - don't know if they have similar laws in Oregon but it's worth checking out - if conditions in your complex make your life unlivable (like roach or rat infestations or your babies not being able to sleep through the night because of noise, etc.) you can legally break your lease and move the hell out. It is the responsibility of the complex owner to assure that conditions on the property are sufficient that their tenants can enjoy "quality of life" while paying that rent.
I'd check into it if I were you. That is TOTAL bullshit. TOTAL!!!

thanks for the support ladies!!!!
believe me, i am compiling as much as i can to see if i can get out of this place sooner than the lease dictates.....ugh. i have thought about calling the cops and i am going to if this goes on any longer. (but i do really like the idea of making a lot of noise myself when i know they are sleeping! LOL! sweet, sweet revenge!) i am just so over this.
intricate....your building sounds like mine. we have major dog crap issues too and when it's wet it stinks & when it's hot it stinks even more....nothing like a baking loaf of dog shit in the summer heat. not to mention the amount of flies that are attracted to the front of my building because of it. i dont get it. i just dont understand how people can live like this. i guess when you are drunk, stoned and partying all the time nothing else matters.
i'm gonna go look up some oregon renter's rights stuff....

This is a tough one to deal with,...
I have to say I was usually fairly lucky with my neighbors in all the years I lived in apartments. The only time it was slightly disconcerting was when I was living in this basement apartment and one of the two cute women above me had loud sex late nights. I didn't complain, but I always wondered which one of them had the room above mine. Didn't overly matter; the fantasy,... ;-P

naughty catfish! LOL!
LOLOL!
yeah....i've lived in apartments pretty much all my life and all over the world and this by far is the worst experience. in west hollywood we had to contend with some frat boys a few buildings down that would have ragers but that was rare and someone else would always call the cops so that was that. this building with its massive amounts of bird & dog crap, noisy neighbors and more that i havent even written about is ridiculous. we ended up in the moldy house out of desperation then ended up here out of desperation again.....lesson learned....never move anywhere unless you really have time to research it. i'd rather stay in my car in the interim! :-P
