To expect my upstairs neighbour to be quiet

[StressedOutred]

I had this problem with another woman who lived upstairs now I'm going through the same thing, when the property was vacant it was the best time.
I'm a pensioner and a young woman moved in upstairs, she makes a lot of noise.

Last week she was moving furniture at around 12pm, I knocked and she ignored me.
Earlier she was sanding for about half hour and I knocked on her door to ask her to stop and she slammed the door in my face. It was 2pm but why should she be sanding for so long on a Saturday!
She has her tv on until about 11pm nearly every night, I banged on the wall and I slam doors but she ignores me.
usually she never answers the door, in fact the above incident was the first time she answered the door when I felt she was making to much noise.
she has now resulted in stomping around, I could hear her walking but I'm assuming she has now taken off her slippers because I can hear her heels hitting the floor.
She has got more inconsiderate just because I complained to her.
I got so pissed off I started slamming doors because it's really stressing me out.

I met her when she first moved in and told her not to play loud music and get a thick carpet because I had issues with the last woman, she seemed okay with it.

I have lived here 25years and whilst this social housing i am a pensioner and she should naturally respect my wishes and the fact I was here first.

How do I deal with this?
The landlord has said it is 'normal living noise' but I beg to differ. It is within the afternoon most of her noise but that doesn't give her a right to irritate me. Aibu?

You were there first so you're in charge! grin

THIS IS NOT A REVERSE

If it's not a reverse then stop
whining - it's normal noise

Why have you name changed?

I do not have children who live with me anymore and the neighbour upstairs is a single female. She has no respect and she showed this by slamming the door in my face!

I name changed for the same reason other people do, why hold that against me like it's illegal?

You have her rules and told her to buy a new carpet, you would see the back of my door pretty swiftly aswell.

Well you've now been told by 50 people it's normal noise

So go out or stop complaining. You're in the wrong.

*gave

If this is not a reverse: YABVVVU and sound like the neighbour from hell.

I'd love to read the upstairs neighbour 's version of things!

As for the rest of the post I can't imagine someone being that pathetic so there is nothing more I can say but echo what other posters have told you.

the same reason other people do
Yeah. Right.

Well I suppose you've got your answer then

Normal family noise is, well, it's normal and to complain about it would be churlish and unenforceable

My advice would be to look into moving house

I mean why change names in the middle of a thread?

Of course its a reverse. How many pensioners do you know who would use the phrase "stressing me out"?

Right, I shall assume you are genuine. Name changing in the middle of a thread is really weird, people won't see your responses highlighted.

You say you had this problem before with a different occupant of the flat above, that might indicate it is normal noise. I had a neighbour like you once, she wanted me to stop using the loo at night. Watch out, you will be chasing normal neighbours away and then get a real neighbour from hell, but the landlord won't listen to you, you will be known as the women who objects to flees coughing because of the noise. Bonkers, get a grip. If you are the upstairs neighbour and this is a reverse, stop increasing the noise as a revenge, that is childish.

None of this sounds unreasonable OP. What would you do if she actually was terrible and she started playing loud music in the middle of the night? I can't believe you complained!

Just ignore the thread and hope the OP goes away .

Wtf?

This is ridiculous

Maybe it is someone who doesn't like "pensioners" trying to discredit them?
Judging by MN recently, I may not be joking!
