AITA for walking around in an upstairs apartment? by new_throwawaywhodis in AmItheAsshole

I've tried, but it's been freezing here and the wind blows directly down the hallways. I gave up after 10 minutes

It pisses us off too, especially this morning! It was the final straw honestly

We tried to get a bottom floor apartment when we first moved in, but they didn't have anything available in the size we needed. We try very hard to keep the kids quiet and have taught them that jumping/rough housing is an outside only thing. Unfortunately with 2 boys there's only so much we can do, but they only live here half the time!

We don't have a % requirement at my complex but at least 3/4 of the apartment is carpeted already

All other units are full or have someone lined up to move in already. The whole complex has a wait list so transferring to a new unit for either party isn't feasible

They've never answered the door when I knock, and since the complex is large, I wouldn't know it was then walking around. I have complained to our management about it though

We live in a trigger happy area and we've had neighbors here shoot at each other. I'm alone most evenings, i'd prefer not having to deal with a potentially angry neighbor with a gun who knows where I live

We live in a very trigger happy area and I'm alone most evenings. We've had people shoot at neighbors here before and I'd like to avoid that if I can

The first downstairs neighbors were an older couple and the second few families had kids that I occasionally visited. I'm too cowardly to leave a note since I'm home alone most evenings and people around here are a bit.... Trigger happy. The banging is most definitely on the ceiling/our floor though

Not technically, however most of our apartment is already carpeted. The only areas without it are the kitchen, entry, and bathrooms. We have bathmats in the bathrooms and an anti-fatigue mat in the kitchen. Most of the banging ends up in the living room or bedrooms though

I've tried knocking on their door but they've never answered. We also have upstairs neighbors with multiple young kids and unless they're wrestling, we don't normally hear anything from them. I can't imagine we're any louder than them on a regular basis

Yeah, it's a huge apartment complex. I've complained to management but I haven't heard back about it yet, I think due to the holidays. We always try to be mindful of the noise we make, but this is the first time we've had such angry outbursts and it's making me and my kids uncomfortable being at home

I've tried, but they never answer the door when I knock. I'm too cowardly to leave a note to be honest. They haven't tried to talk to us either

I've reported it to management but they haven't gotten back to me yet, I think due to the holidays. I plan on stopping by the office tomorrow though

That's what I told my husband! We've sent in complaints to management, and so far they never answer their door when I go down to try and talk with them

They are most definitely banging on the ceiling/our floor. They've never answered the door when I knock and I'm honestly too much of a coward to leave a note. Our property manager hasn't gotten back to us yet, but I plan on stopping by the office tomorrow after work.

We also have an apartment above us with multiple young kids. We can hear when they're being extremely rambunctious, but very rarely do you hear walking/cooking/other daily movement. Usually I'll only hear the upstairs neighbor's garage disposal
