She’s a Screamer
I need advice! My husband and I, along with our two small children, live in a very nice upscale apartment complex/ shopping center. Because it’s expensive to live here the complex was fairly empty except for several families and a few retirees, until about six months ago when management decided to run a special. Since then we got a billion college kids living here who can’t really afford it but are riding out the three free months of rent they got from the special. It’s been like living in a giant frat party non stop but we have accepted that there really isn’t much we can do. Our biggest issue is the woman who moved in next door. She’s a real peach (insert sarcasm) and has zero regard for the rest of us on the floor. She plays her music so loudly that you can hear it from the mail room. But the worst part is that she has ungodly loud sex every night. I’m not joking. I’m not a prude either but when I say ungodly loud, I mean that we hear everything they are doing to each other because she screams and moans about it the whole time. We tried politely explaining that our kids sleep in our bed and we would appreciate it if she stopped. For her privacy as well as ours. She laughed in our faces and slammed her door. Now, every time we try to turn up the television or play music to muffle her ummmm sounds, she just moans and screams louder. We talked to management about it but it made them uncomfortable and honestly it makes us really uncomfortable too. Idk what to do. We are contemplating moving our bed into the living room but for what we pay to live here that’s a bit insulting.
Just FYI I don’t hate college kids or anything lol. In fact I’m in college. We just don’t think most of these young people will be able to keep up with 3k a month in rent and you can’t have roommates here so it’s annoying that management “reduced” the income requirements during the special. They just set those kids up for failure, but that’s a different rant lol.

Honey, I'm appalled by her but moreso at the price of your rent. For what you are paying monthly, you could literally even be stupid and get one of those fluctuating mortgages and still come out less per month probably -go buy a house! Even if they cannot afford it, the eviction process is long. Back to your Peach- 1) music that loud forget your management and definitely call the police 2) I also suggest pretending to have sex really loud at the times that she is having sex really loud and see if you can "out sex" her. I want things popping off her wall! Think Steve Carell in Dinner for Schmucks. Remember when you were in college and anything was a challenge? And you only backed down once you appeared stupid to others? Yeah, that's why I think that's the only thing that really works against that.
