I own a condo and have a renter that lives next door. She is the only renter in this building. Unfortunately she plays her TV / stereo too loud and I had to leave a note on her doorstep 3 times asking to turn the noise down because it was too loud. This is common practice in this neighborhood - other owners leave notes because it alleviates confrontation. I personally do not like the confrontation but obviously the polite way hasn't worked either.
Also a few months ago I left a page of the C & Rs on her doorstep which states "loud noise that disturbs other owners is prohibited" in this neighborhood. Well here it is 5pm on a weekend and the TV is loud enough that it comes through my dining room wall. I have emailed the HOA for the first time today detailing this noise problem and asking the HOA to contact the Owner. In my HOA the owner gets fined if their renters get out of hand and don't follow the rules. I am thinking about calling the police at this point and have them give her a warning so I don't have to listen to the noise today. What do you think? Am I stirring the pot too much or would you call the police now and start getting the complaints on record?
I am wondering why you put this is relationships....
Relationship to neighbors? I wasn't sure if I should post it here or not but because there is a vast amount of experience on this board with relating to other people this seemed like a good place at the time. I also posted it under Real Estate, Renting.
Deal with it or buy a house. Quit being such a negative nancy. ALl my neighbors are pissed at me becasue walls here are paper thin, and i like girls who make alot of noise, so they hear some screams of pleasure every n ight, for awhile. Its not like im going to stop having sex, because my nancy neighbors think its too noiosy. who cares?
Personally, I would have thought the polite way to handle the situation would have been to knock on thde door and introduce yourself as the neighbor.
Then, after personalizing yourself (instead of being some random person in unit 203) you could have told them that they may not realize it, but the walls are paper thin and you can hear their TV and radio quite clearly.
You left a note, they chose to ignore it because it's easy to ignore a piece of paper.
No need to call the police. They have better things to do. You alerted the HOA so just follow-up with them on Monday.

I think your HOA ( or city) has some sort of noise regulations, but that apply for the night time. Noise at 5 PM can be only disputed on the "friendly/good will" basis.
You might consider to add padding to that wall. https://www.city-data.com/forum/house...ing-walls.html

Go introduce yourself, and ask her to walk over to your apartment w/ you...Let he hear the level of noise herself. Sometime we don't realize how noisy our electronics are.
They are not going to care about the CC&R's. The only person who will care is the owner. Report them to the association.
If I owned a condo or townhouse, I would be upset if there were renters in the complex too. I'd be upset because if there are too many rented out units, it can disqualify the complex from being able to qualify for certain types of financing (FHA).
So if you decided to sell, it could make finding a buyer more difficult depending on your market. You could lose negotiating leverage and possibly money due to only being able to accept cash or conventional type loans.
I thought this section was for romantic relationships, do you want to sleep with your neighbour ?
If not, I'd have thought that "real estate" might give you better answers............
