Apartment Drama


Hi- I recently moved from my house to a 2nd floor apt with 1 apt on each side and 1 below. 3pm today I turned my stereo on for the 1st time. Low volume IMO. Hard to describe but no problem having a conversation without even raising my voice. within 10 minutes my neighbor knocked on my door acting irratated demanding I turn the volume down. WTF? Now what. Do I have any rights or do I have to obey this jerk?

What was the decibel level you were listening at?

Talk to your neighbor. Find out if there's a real problem with the sound or if it's something else. A few people are totally unreasonable nearly all the time, but most people are kinda' nice if you're nice to them.

BTW, when I rented I would always tell the landlord that I play music often and loudly. I don't think I ever lost out on an apartment because of it, but the landlords were thankful and sometimes made special arrangements for me.
