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?

I would suggest to a couple of others who have responded that behaving at the limits of what is legally permissible will not necessarily be in anyone's best interests over the long term. In this and in most other situations that involve co-existing with others.

+2(Frogman's 4-3 post). You will always catch more flies with honey then vinegar! Whenever you have unhappy people in a confined living area any disturbance will usually be blown out of proportion. My best advice is try to politely reason with this person, if to no avail be the first to contact the property manager regarding the issue. This should give you the advantage(with management)with any future conflicts.
Long overdo update. Sold the big floorstanders, bought some Grado cans and a tube amp and couldn't be happier. And the neighbor is still an ass !
