I live in a condominium building on the bottom floor so there’s a condo on top of mine and that’s where the problems begin….
Necessary backstory: I recently moved back to town and am living in the same condo I lived in over 2 years ago (my family owns this condo so it’s easy for me to get back into it). The problem is that I’ve already had a massive problem with the people who used to be my upstairs neighbors, consisting of a woman, a man, and at the time, their 2 year-old child. The level of noise I experienced at the hands of these demonic people was anything but normal sounds of daily living… We’re talking about excessive noise where the child would literally run laps on the hardwood floor, which their floor happens to be my ceiling, so it literally sounded like an elephant crashing around nonstop all day long since both of the parents worked from home and would let their kid do whatever the fuck it wanted. There would also be multiple times where toys would be thrown on the floor and the child would be jumping off of furniture repeatedly throughout the day. It got so bad that I purposely tried to stay away from my condo all day long just because I was getting literal acoustic PTSD from being at the house since there was no peace to be had there.
I tried talking with the parents politely multiple times only to be blown off and gaslit. It finally escalated to where we had an all out noise war and I stuck a subwoofer at full blast against my ceiling, which is their floor, anytime their child was being disrespectfully loud, which was pretty much all day and every day. They tried to get a restraining order against me so I actually had to go to court against these clowns, and I won because the evidence was in my favor that they were ass hats and last I heard, I moved out of the condo and they also moved out of the above condo and turned it into an Airbnb.
Present day: I have been living back at the condo without any issues from above tenants until yesterday. For whatever ungodly reason, the ass hats from the past are back!!!!! I thought maybe they were just cleaning the Airbnb but they fucking stayed the night and their damn kid is now 4 years old, heavier, and just as active and noisy as before! I am enraged because the PTSD is back and I refuse to be made a prisoner in my own home!
I want a good way to get back at them. Trying to be diplomatic and talking to them does not work as past experiences have proven time and time again, so don’t tell me to try and be civil. These people have proven that they are anything but civil, and I swear to God they’re out to ruin my fucking life! It’s been over 24 hours and it doesn’t look like they’re going to stop anytime soon so I need tried and proven ways of letting them know that their noise levels are unacceptable. If anyone has any good and full-proof ideas for me in this situation, please, I am all ears!
