Bass from downstairs neighbor's stereo system was driving HTB & I *insane* Friday night.

I called & left a message with the management office.
They called back Saturday afternoon for more details, and said that they'd make the offending neighbor a friendly courtesy phone call.

I was told that if (or more like when) it happens again, that I should stop by the office and fill out an Incident Complaint form. The offending neighbor would then get an official letter.
If it happened again after that, I should go fill out another Incident Complaint form and another (I'm hoping more severe/firm) letter would be sent.

Hopefully after a letter or two the guy will get the message and turn down his damn bass or he'll get kicked out for violating the rules.

I've only seen him in passing, and just at first glance he looks like he's a college kid who's living on his own, out of mommy & daddy's house, out of the dorms, etc for the first time and is going "yeah! No one telling me what to do, I can turn my music up as loud as I want!"

I really miss my old neighbors. A nice mid-to-late 30's single mom with a pre-teen/early-teenage son. Never made any noise, I hardly knew they were there. Perfect neighbors.

I'm seriously thinking about the possibility of whether HTB & I can find a decent not too expensive house to rent when this apartment lease is up. But I LOVE this place, and how it faces out over a natural area, and all the birds & trees & stuff right out my window & patio. :)
It'd be perfect if I could just get rid of this damn neighbor!
