Hi everyone,
I’m renting a second floor unit in a block of 25 apartments. The block was built around 1960s – 1970s I think and not very well at that. It’s not very well insulated – I can hear the people talking in the apartment next to me, I hear their microwave dinging in their kitchen etc.
But what is driving me INSANE is hearing the people in the apartment above me in their bathroom. We have the same floor plan (one bedroom unit with an ensuite), so I hear their shower running, I hear them putting the toilet seat up, washing their hands, etc etc etc. And because it’s an ensuite, it’s practically above my bedroom, so I get woken up every morning by someone upstairs peeing at 5am!!! Ear plugs are not an option because I’m a nurse and often on call, so I need to hear my phone.
I’ve discussed the issue with the real estate agent who was no help at all and just said it’s an old building so there’s nothing anyone can do. I asked the owners in the unit below me if they had the same noise problems from my unit and they said they couldn’t tell because they heard noise coming from all units around them.
Has anyone got any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks, Lucia
