Dear Meg:

From my very personal and repeated experience with noisy neighbors- there is only one solution, to move out ASAP. My last experience with a noisy neighbor was winter 2014 when I lived in an apartment building. The neighbor below used to stay up all night, vacuuming at 3-4 am. Don’t know why she vacuumed at that time, but she did. She slept during the day and woke up in the afternoon, slamming doors.

Called her “the neighbor from hell”.  When I told her she was keeping me up at night, she shot a counter complaint: you are keeping me up during my day!

I knew I had two options: die as a result of an accident following too much lack of sleep or move out. Luckily I moved out and fast (before being fully prepared to move out)- just had to.
