Ok so I'm dealing with a bit of a neighbour dispute. I rent a Condo from the cousin of my roomate. Next door to us there is a middle aged woman who has made several noise complaints against us.
Now first of all take my word for it that neither I, nor my roomate has EVER "cranked" the stereo. On top of it neither do we even own a TV. The following letter occured on a day when I had the stereo all the way up to "2", and really was not even as loud as my mother watches TV at back home.

Re: Renters in unit #####
Earlier this evening, I heard a thud-thud comming from the unit next to mine through the common living room wall, the stereo base and a sound I have heard before.
I went next door and knocked and before the door opened, I heard "here comes a complaint" from inside. When D (the owners cousin) answered I askid him to turn down his stereo (which he obviously knew was too loud), to which he replied "chill out", before closing the door in my face.
I have asked D nicely at least four times now to turn down his music, but he doesn't seem to care that it is disturbing at least one neighbour. You would think that with the low vacancy rate of rental accommodations in this city renters would be more respectful.
I am bringing this issue to the Board because I am tired of having to deal with D's flippant comments. If the music from #### is dissurptive again, I will let you know and will formally request that this be persued with the owner.
Alright.... here's why I'm pissed
1- "Here comes the complaint" was not because the music was loud, but because she has complained about regular-to-quiet volumes in the past, NOT because we knew it was loud. So that we "obviously knew" is flat out conjecture. Nevermind, if the music was so loud, how was she listening to our conversation though our front door?
2- Renters this owners that. Why the hell is this relavent? It's blatently obvious this asshole thinks that she has more rights then me as an occupant because I rent and she owns. I'd go even so far as to say it sounds like we should be aware that we're at her mercy.
Nevermind she completely misrepresents what transpired at our door. Before he shut the door she said to him "Turn it down or be evicted". I mean, what exactly is the appropriate response to someone barking orders and threats at you in your own home? She makes it sound like she was disrupted and then ignored, which was NOT what happened at all.

I mean this whole thing is such BS I don't even know where to start. 6 Days a week I'm usually out of the house anyways, and 9/10 of the days I'm actually home it's like a monestary anyways because the both of us just usually sit around on our computers if we're home. but appherently the woman next door thinks she owns our unit just because we don't.
