The other tenant that shares the apartment with me filed a noise complaint yesterday. Today , after I got off work I was told that a crew from the apartments management told him personally it would be the last warning they would give him before they would get him out of the apartment.
The tenant that lives with me was also told that previous tenants have complained about him for slamming doors.
I'm just thankful that management was able to follow through with our complaint, and hopefully we will have peace in our living quarters.
I don't make frivolous complaints, and as tax payers we felt that our upstairs neighbor was incorrigible. We submitted a complaint against him, and yet he was slamming doors in the middle of the night. We called law enforcement so we could address our grievance.
Why do you refer to your roommate as "the tenant that lives with me"? Strange.
Is there a flight of stairs by the perps apartment?
Just asking.........
I know this is old but hell. I feel for you op I really do. Kim in FL and Oregonwoodsmoke are supporters of bad manners.... clearly. I see her troll every single loud neighbor topic in place as a supporter of their inconsiderate childlike behavior. She is probably or was probably at one point an inconsiderate ill-mannered neighbor once and so feels conviction to defend them at any opportunistic moment she can. You have legitimate concerns to be sure. I have the issue as well, I can have earplugs in with my desk fan on laying in the opposite end of my apt and still hear my neighbor slam their door. It is soo hard it vibrates my window pane making it click a couple times.... sad. Apparently the b**** is just a child in a adults body like your neighbor is.
Thinking of rigging their door in some way.
Kim may reply with some noise condoning rubbish soon like the "dingbat" she is LOL!
Can't wait as she seems to have pre-typed copy paste posts just for these topics LMAO!
No slamming your door every 10 minutes is never necessary unless your neighbor is a on call emergency medical technician for the apartment complex and he/she has to rush and save a life every 10 minute..... uhhh ain't the case though.
Why would you create an account, revive a 2 year old thread, all for the sake of being rude? Think about how far one has to scroll through these boards just to find these old posts, JUST to make an offensive remark towards a CD member.
It is a waste of tax dollars to call the police on a neighbor who slams his door.
Were you in danger? Were you in fear for you life? Was he threatening you? Was he holding a gun to your head? Was he trying to break into your unit? That would be a 'no', to all of those questions so you calling the police was frivolous and wasteful. I'm really shocked they showed up for something like that.
Thankful that they followed thru? They were giving you lip service. They have no intention of evicting this man because they know a judge wont' sign off on a 'door slamming' complaint. According to your roommate this behavior has been going on for quite awhile...if they were going to evict him over it they would've done so already. So dont' hold your breath waiting for the Sheriff to serve the eviction notice...it probably won't happen.
You can, however break your lease and move.
Bleep that. Inconsiderate people need to be put in their place and not be allowed to "win" ... Air horns are cheap you know.
Just because you don't agree with what I say makes it wrong. Is it annoying to hear a slamming door? I'm sure it is, but there's nothing you can do about it. Nothing at all..and to suggest they rig it?? That's the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time
This one guy suggested stealing the door too. It only works when you have not already complained to management though.. sadly. How is it dumb... if you don't get caught then you can get your laughs at their expense.
I believe in an eye for an eye etc and so my statements are entirely justified however your are not; you imbecile you. Speaking of choosing where there is no choice to be made. If that's the case if you ever get r***d than you chose that to happen to you then eh.... well... you know no double standards right! lol!
Another example concerning choices according to your logic any person and that dies with their family in the car in a driving accident did so by choice. They ahem, chose to drive that day and took the risk of dying by a automobile based accident and as a result died. Driving can be dangerous and so anyone that dies horrible deaths or kills someone by driving are suicidal and homicidal.
Seriously ^:this person above me:
I chose to live in a better quality apt(not a ghetto) one of the better ones in my city. It had like I said respectful neighbors for the first half a year and was nice a quite within reasonable noise level all the time. Not by MY choice did another set of neighbors move in that must have came straight from the ghetto themselves. Needless to say my best friend and I are saving to get out of there.

Whoever designed it seemed to have the foresight to make it so it didn't slam. So someone had this idea in mind awhile back. I've thought about buying one for a neighbor who slams her door so hard that it shakes all of the glasses in my kitchen cupboard but I'm unsure about how this goes with fire codes. Some of the passive aggressive posts here are a bit immature, behaving as if you were raised in a barn isn't very cool when you share close space with other people. The whole "TOO BAD YOU MOVE!!!!!!" thing is hardly practical.
The first thing to do is find out the real reason why the person slams the door open. I can understand slamming it closed, but slamming it open implies something unusual going on. Maybe the person is always carrying stuff in and out of the room, and kicks the door instead of using the doorknob, because of hands occupied by a load of stuff being carried. Or maybe a big dog is doing the slamming by entering the room too fast. Or if the person is slamming it deliberately, to annoy the neighbor, it might be because of a perceived attack in the past. Something you did that makes the person want to annoy you. Or maybe the person is annoyed by people of your ethnic group or whatever. But doing it deliberately implies malice. Never assume malice till other possibilities are investigated.
We live in a nice building, and we have a next door neighbors who let's their heavy metal door slam and it can be very disturbing. My first impulse was to say something about it in a polite way but I knew that if he didn't cooperate, then it might become intentional so I thought twice. Basically you're walking a fine line here because you have to live next door to one another so often we tolerate it. But my inclination was to get steamed because selfish and inconsiderate *******s only think of themselves.
You have people who cooperate and *******s who don't. Ive had a talk with my neighbor who appeared congenial but went right back to her inconsiderate door slamming because she felt she had a right to do whatever the **** she wanted. Closing a door quietly was too much effort. It's far easier for her to be an a-hole. I often ask myself should I say something? I considered it but didn't want the situation to escalate and have it become intentional.
