Hey, if I’m paying $900/month plus power to live here, I would appreciate that I don’t have to deal with the following noises from neighbors:
-Loud sex
-Loud music
-Some dude growling like a vicious dog
-Thumping and running
-Kids screaming
-Loud TV
I filed 17 noise complaints since I moved here in November and nothing has been done! Fuck this fucking apartment building and the trash that live here! —Need a house stat

I’m certain your landlord and neighbours will support you in your plan. Bye bye!
That’s the problem with new buildings, they are made of crap. I’m in an older one and hardly hear anything and I have a family of 5 with kids living next to me.
Good luck getting a house for $900 a month that may not be on or near Crack Alley.
Crack Alley? Do you mean Dartmouth?
Not really CB, as there are many places throughout HRM that have those types of places.
like Fairview.
A hell hole of a place
A house is no guarantee of serenity. In fact, if you get hellish neighbours you are really screwed because it is much more difficult to move. I know of which I speak
If you are sensitive to noise your best bet is to look for an apartment in a building that is mostly or all 1 bedroom and bachelor apartments – i.e. no kids running around. Also, specify that you want an apartment on the top floor and at the end of the hall (provided there is no fire exit there). That way you have nobody above you, only have one neighbour to worry about and nobody should be going past your door.
Caveat rentor!
I hear you! I moved to a small building in a neighborhood full of expensive houses, thinking that I would be away from obnoxious students. I was correct for the first few years of living here. Then they started letting the most obnoxious people move into 2 of the units. WTF is wrong with people who have ZERO consideration for their neighbors?! People stomp up and down stairs like a herd of elephants at all hours of the night, blare music so that it sounds like it’s in my apartment, rather than 2 floors above me, have ridiculous friends who pee right in the open in the back yard, smoke so much pot that the whole building reeks of the stench, etc. Some people have no home training! There are certainly a lot of assholes living in apartments in this city whose parents did a horrible job raising them, or they forget ever ounce of manners and respect for other people that their parents did try to instill in them.
hardwood floors are a huge no for me unless they are in a new building with concrete floors, Carry noise everywhere, I know someone who couldn’t even watch a cheap TV set without her neighbor complaining about noise, Carpets a pain in the ass but my building is quiet because of it
Yup that be classic apartment life unless your willing to pay extra for the complaints to be taken seriously. Next apartment make sure its what some others suggested on here already. And really seek one that does not have a lot of smaller kids in it. Kids make noise. Its what there good at. A landlord can’t do much against kids noise during surtain hours. Even police will tell you that. Unless its crazy excessive you got no grounds to complain about kids. Kid friendly buildings means you got more noise to tolerate.
You sound like a little bitch.
Sounds Like my Apartment building! I Hate it Here! The Sinclair Mews building in Annapolis Royal. “Animal House!”
