Best way to address a landlord regarding issues with his tenants?
Landlord is renting out his apartment beside mine.
His tenants are knocking shit against my wall and banging on it.
They can make all the noise they want all day but the moment I turn my tv on minimum volume or clear my throat they start imitating me or knocking on my wall.
Now I don't want to claim all this because they'll just deny it and twist it into me being insane or some bs.
So what should I tell the landlord to get the point across?
You're viewing a single thread.
Collect evidence. Audio record them imitating you, and knocking on the walls before you approach your landlord.
I can't.. because if it's just a sound recording there's no way of yelling who is making the noise, and they do it randomly/unpredictably ENOUGH that I can barely ever catch it on video, and my phone can't just have video on all day.
Then start writing it down when it happens. Pics or it didn't happen doesn't apply. A journal of what happened, by who, and when will help.
It's fucking useless. They're just gonna use plausible deniability
Invest in a cheap audio recorder and leave it running when you notice them acting up. Or, if they do it in response to you making noise, intentionally make some (mundane, reasonable) noise and catch the response.
If the landlord wouldn't believe it when you tell them the tenants are acting obnoxiously, then there's no way to phrase that differently to make them take it seriously without giving them some evidence of it.
Well anyway, I messaged him 2 days ago, hey are you the landlord of apartment BLA BLA and he never responded.... Guess he doesn't gaf
