Are your neighbours considerate or do they drive you crazy with loud music parties slamming doors and so on.My neighbours are decent people with good jobs but are so inconsiderate with the noise they make.Slamming doors,parties with loud music until 2am.They make our life hell but just think it is there home they can do what they like.What are your neighbours like and how do you deal with nuisance neighbours.We love loud music ourselves and like nothing better than stadium rock but we do not inflict it on the neighbourhood.We don,t want to have a bad relationship with them so what do we do.
When you have problems with neighbours, it's very important to keep a dialogue going & not stop communicating totally, even if they are really annoying you. If it's question of noise try & arrange it that both of you can phone each other the instant it occurs. Often people are unaware of the upset they are causing. Very few people are genuinely malicious & things always deteriorate through misunderstanding. Shouting & name calling have a totally negative effect. Try & make them see that you are just another person with problems & not a sworn enemy. It's also imperative that you keep a diary of incidence so that your neighbour knows that you are neither vague nor making it up. Finaly there are professionals who can act as arbitrators between you. You can get a list from your town hall or the local police station. We've all been there. Good luck.
I have 2 boys who love to have their friends round to play and my partner loves his loud music so sometimes we can be the noisy neighbours. I have always said to my neighbours that if we are ever too loud please just come and see us and we'll sort it out straight away or if they don't feel like knocking on the door just drop us a note through the door and we'll make sure we keep it down. There is some ground rules and It's not like we're throwing wild parties until 2am every night. My partner can only play loud music during daylight hours and only for a few songs which are really loud. If the boys have friends playing in the garden I'll often go out and get them to quiet down (as it gets on my nerves so it mus be winding the other people on the street up). There are other neighbours who have parties and play music in their garden in the warm weather and often you'll hear people shouting over to turn it up if they have some good songs on. They too have kids playing but all the kids are respectful of the older people who live on the street. All in all we get along with no rebels.
