    Complaints about other people are fine and reasonable, complaints about you are just plain vexatious.  Of course they are going to say you are vexatious, they don’t want to consider that they are doing anything wrong.

    But seriously – having your TV on at full blast and leaving the door open is highly likely to disturb other people, and it is not reasonable to stand in the hallway talking at the top of your voice.  As the OP says, it seems that the offenders are using the common property as quasi-living space.

    My downstairs neighbour recently got a new TV, and I had to point out to her that the sound is so loud that it reverberates through my floor.  She didn’t know, so she has taken steps to keep it down to a reasonable level.  As I type this there are children screaming in the courtyard, but that is a whole other story….
