“Our neighbour screams at us through the walls – he harasses us everyday”

The anonymous couple wrote in the post, “Landlord won’t do anything about our downstairs neighbor who screams at us through the walls. (photo/file-courtesy)

The neighbor has been known to act in this manner with other residents of the same building, harassing them on a daily basis about the noise they make.

The couple has attempted to speak with the landlord about the matter, but has been ineffective because the landlord has not taken any action despite receiving evidence of the neighbor’s harassment.

They posted on Reddit saying they don’t know what to do next.

The anonymous couple wrote in the post, “Landlord won’t do anything about our downstairs neighbor who screams at us through the walls.

“Basically he constantly screams at us and our other neighbours within the quadrant. He yells at us through the floors, screaming “settle down!” when we’re just walking around quietly during the day (floors creak).

“He harasses us on a daily basis. I don’t know what to do. We’ve sent the landlord proof of him screaming at us. They aren’t doing anything.”

Several people have responded by siding with the upset couple and offering advise on what they should do next to get out of the sticky position.

1) One person reacted: “When your landlord does not care then your best option will be to move. However, realistically not everyone can move so maybe time to make some friends with the other people he is screaming at and jointly complain to the landlord. If that does not work maybe time to scream back?”

2) Another person commented: “Team up with the other tenants and sue the landlord.”

3) Another user said: “Get it on video and file a report. Keep record of the times and dates as well.”

4) Another person said: “Maybe talk to a lawyer, the landlord is probably legally responsible. There are options for cheap consults out there.”
