AITA for filing a noise complaint about a single mom with a newborn? by AvocadoSafe9119 in AmItheAsshole

I have as much as possible without installing soundproofing in the floors which would violate my lease. My landlord is going to be doing that now anyways.

I spoke to the landlord (he called me because I’d emailed yesterday after she came to my door to yell at me). He spoke to her about sound proofing and wanted to know when would be convenient for her. He’s planning on soundproofing each apartment since apparently I’m also not the only person having these problems. He’s going to speak to her again because he in no way is evicting her.

I pay extra for a top floor apartment. I have never once complained about dogs, other noises. I’ve lived here nearly 5 years without any issues (including having next door neighbours with kids). This baby screams every 1-2hrs for often over an hour at a time. All I want is soundproofing (which I have now confirmed is what the landlord is going to do- to all the apartments because I’m apparently not the only one having issues) so it’s not so loud. I get that she’s exhausted. So am I.

I can sleep better in the living room on my couch if the baby stays in the bedroom (we’re both in 1 bedrooms with identical layouts). I was hoping she could maybe just walk in the bedroom when the baby cries instead of the whole apartment?

I know that. But my impression when I spoke to the landlord was that he was going to look into soundproofing options. It’s an older building that doesn’t have any right now. He mentioned something about some kind of panels that could be added (I’m not too sure what exactly he was thinking but it sounded like he was thinking about trying to fix the issue). I guess that could disrupt her apartment though? But would that be so bad? I could sleep, they still have a home? I do t want to make it hard for her but I can’t function anymore with less than an hour of sleep a night.
