LL,
Since [wife] and I have moved into the first floor apartment on [address] we have sincerely tried to be good neighbors with the tenant on the second floor--[the crazy neighbor].
When we first moved in to the apartment [the crazy neighbor] and I worked together on resolving any small issues that might come up between us. For example, when I first setup my computer in the office I unknowingly placed my speakers directly underneath her bed [this was about 2.5 years ago]. The sound was an issue so we reached an agreement whereby I would use headphones after 11 pm EST so she could sleep. Over time I continued making concessions until eventually I agreed to just use the headphones all the time.
Over the past four months, however, another disagreement has developed over supposed vibrations which are keeping her awake. I have gone to great lenghts to make changes to accommodate her. I have moved my computer (three times), I have shut down my wireless router, and I have even gone to the great lengths of replacing four fans and installing gaskets in an attempt to dampen any possible vibrations my computer could be generating.
We have done everything in our power to try to resolve the issues [the crazy neighbor] has and it is now getting to the point where we feel we are being harassed. Every night we worry about whether we are making too many "vibrations" which will wake [the crazy neighbor] and cause another furious exchange of e-mails and telephone calls. A perfect example of this is the back office--we pay rent on this room but do not use it during the weekdays because it is directly below [the crazy neighbor"s] bedroom. At this point, we are questioning whether it is worth the hassle of continuing the lease on this apartment.
In summary, I find it unreasonable that we have to walk on eggshells in our own home to keep the upstairs neighbor appeased. I would like you to take some action to resolve this situation immediately.
Sincerely,
[me]
