We met with you on September 22, 2006 regarding the difficulties we were having with the new neighbors directly below us. We requested guidance on how to deal with a situation which was becoming more aggressive on their part. We described our neighbors’ loud nature which includes slamming of doors at all hours (waking us up in the middle of the night) and yelling profanities. In addition, there has been drug use, graphically sexual activities in the parking lot, and a male visitor who stands outside their apartment entrance staring us down as we enter our residence. We described the fact that they’d started banging on their ceiling (our floor) and lately, they have begun playing very loud music with a strong bass, shaking our living room floor.

This has reached a point that is neither reasonable nor tolerable. Prior to meeting with you, we had complained about their excessive noise a total of three times in three months and two of these times we did not initiate the telephone call with the front office. One would think that if we were planning to lodge enough complaints to get them evicted, we would call to complain at every instance of excessive noise.

In short, we feel that the increasingly aggressive nature of our neighbors is not tolerable. You have offered to us the option to end our lease early if we felt that we could not live under the current conditions and that is our decision. The current conditions are not habitable and there is fear for safety. We are currently seeking other options and will give you 30 days notice once we have found a suitable residence.

It’s unfortunate that it has come to this as we have had an otherwise pleasant experience at the complex over the past three plus years. We had no plans to move when our lease was up later this year. We understand the difficult situation that all of this has put you in and we appreciate your help.


Sincerely,

.........
