What type of lawyer do I search to sue the mgmt of my apt. due to noisy neighbors? -

I ve complained many times over the past 6 months and problems due to a noisy neighbor continue to escalate. I can not move, therefore, I have to take legal action. What should I do?

Unless your neighbors violate any local housing or code rules, you put up with it or move.

An attorney that handles civil cases can help you...just make sure he or she has experience with landlord/tenant issues. You will have to make sure you CAN sue for excessive noise...look at your local noise laws and make sure your neighbor is in violation of those laws to begin with. Put your complaints to the landlord in writing, if you haven t already. Consider your damages...what are you suing for? Specific performance or do you want compensation? Good luck!

You don t need an attorney, all you need to do is call the police. They will charge them with disturbing the peace. Keep in mind that people have different standards of quot;quietquot;...just b/c they are making too much noise for you doesn t mean it s an illegal amount of noise. When I was in college, I once had to move because I had two neighbors that were both bartenders at clubs....and when they got off work at night, they brought friends with them. Enough to wake me up every other night, but not enough to get something legally done. I finally moved.

You need a landlord tenant attorney. But be fore warn. If you say you don t have any money. They don t like people that don t have money. They will brush you off. They d rather represent your landlord and kick you out. but take the landlord to small claims court. Keep a record and call the police and try to get a police report for each incident if you can of some sort of evidence. Most police are nasty with you when it comes to writing reports! Take your evidence to court with you and tell the judge that you wish to move, because of this, this, this and slam dunk this! You may get up to the limit of your court $5000-$7500 and your deposit back.......(try to through in emotional distress for fun) small claims judges sometimes don t like this) but if it s so slam dunk, he may flow your way. You have the right to a peaceful enjoyment, because you pay rent too. Tell him you have no money to move. If there is one around go to a legal-aid, but they are picky sometimes too.......(they like poor people though) Make sure you do nothing wrong. Keep your nose clean! And you will win the entire barrel of apples and a better place!

yeah you can t really do anything about loud noise except call the cops on them to have them quiet it down or talk to your landlord.

dont waste your time. it will cost you more money you are willing to spend... dMz
