Re: Neighbouring strata plan tenant complaining about noise from 2 year old

I love it!  That’s what I’ve been after.  I usually use the power phrase/question “That’s interesting, tell me more” but I used that with her but she surprisinglly replied with “I’m not answering any questions, I’m not giving you details, you just say you are sorry & fix it!”  I wish I had’ve said “So, does refusing to communicate, being bossy & making demands usually work for you?”

Anyway, I’m going to follow your instructions to the letter.

For the meantime, my tenant has made a concerted effort to keep the toddler as quiet as possible, hubby & I have tried to be at home during the day more (not always possible but luckily we’ve been able to swing it a bit lately) – just in case there is any substance to her complaint & we now know what we are dealing with.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!  The quote from Packer or Sir Frank gives me comfort as well – I so have to get out of the need to justify mentality – what’s he point with crazies?  There’s no way they will ‘get it’ no matter what you say/do.
