I've lived in my flat for just over 5 years - I get on well with everyone even my neighbours above me. There's just 1 thing that really gets me down - the noise above me :-( there is a youngish family above 2 kids and 2 adults in a 2 bed flat - the youngest is around 3. The 3yr old is the one that I hear the most "running" up and down the living room, in and out of doors, up at the break of dawn again "running up and down the room. I get on well with the mum which makes it so much harder for me to tell her my feelings - when my tv is off and I want some P&Q or my daughter needs to do her homework I can hear pretty much everything laughing, telling off, child crying, doors slamming, I just don't know what to do anymore. These flats weren't built very well and if I went to my landlord they would only advise that I speak with the neighbour - pretty much all that I have said above is every day living and who am I to tell them to "stop living" just so I get peace of mind. Now I'm no saint with a stropy hormonal 10 year old who kicks off when she doesn't get her own way and yes she screams and slams doors BUT I'm quick enough to nip it in the bud or punish her when she has done wrong but she's not like that every day - the way I feel because of what I hear is affecting me every day. So please any advice would be good even if there's someome out there who is a landlord who may have come across this before with tenants - thanks for reading
