I have been living under a woman who is very noisy.
When she first moved in I put up with her noise because I assumed she was moving in, arranging furniture etc.. I gave her a month to 'settle in'. Now 2 months later, and a few complaints to my landlord, I'm being told that I basically have to put up with the woman above me.
Maybe I'm being too picky, but here is my situation.
I have a 2 year old son, and I work a few days out of the week.
Our apartment has a rule that there are 'quiet hours' between 8pm and 8am. The woman is noisy during the day, but thats fine since it isn't during the quiet hours.
After 8pm the woman bangs her doors and cupboards, stomps around so loud that I can hear which room she is in, and doesn't keep her dog quiet. Every night she locks her dog in the bathroom or closet. I hear it crying and banging on the door to get out. I have had to call the cops twice on her because one time her boyfriend was beating her (I could hear running, loud yelling, and basically the whole fight). The 2nd time I thought the same thing was happening, only to find out she was having a very loud sleep over with some girlfriends.
Each morning she lets her dog out of his 'holding facility' around 5am, letting him run all over her apartment. She vacuums, does laundry and runs her dishwasher before 8am.
Another rule for our apartment complex is that dogs must be on their leash at all times while outside. I was walking out to my car when her dog ran down the stairs, ran up to me, and clawed my leather boots. Her dog was not on the leash.
Each night I get no sleep because the woman is noisy, keeping me up, and she wakes up my son.
What can I legally do to get out of my lease with out penalty? Any advice would be very welcomed.
Thanks in Advance
