Dear Oasis,

 

Just wondering whether you’ve managed to resolve the issue for yourself?

 

I feel for you whole-heartedly as I’ve been through a similar ordeal fairly recently.  I don’t think anyone really appreciates the pain and suffering that one goes through until they go through it themselves.  For us it was terrible, so much so it started getting into our personal lives, and at work.  Sometimes we would have tiffs over it, like whether we were being reasonable or just over-reacting!  We approached the neighbours several times through letters over the course of a year, and we did chat initially but that was about the end of it.  When the noise occurs you feel terrible because you start having bad thoughts and it’s not something one should be thinking about especially mid morning.

 

We compiled a list of when these occurred and how it affected us.  It got to the point where we had more than enough, and approached Strata Management and they were very helpful.  They got in contact with the owner and the owner then got in contact with the tenants.  It seemed to have some affect whatever was done.  Touch wood as we haven’t had those terrible late nights yet.

 

It’s terrible that it had to get as far as it did.  It’s just plain inconsiderate.

 

And it sux… because we consider ourselves to be quite neighbourly do enjoy seeing neighbours in the hallway and chatting.  Now it’s just awkward.
