Apartment with PERFECT logistics but landlord lives downstairs
08-28-2012, 10:53 AM
Apartment is 2 blocks from the beach and within a 5 block radius there are 3 clubs and 3-4 bars. Problem is the landlord lives downstairs and made a number of comments about the noise level coming through the floor, heavy walking etc.
I hate to give it up but I don't want to be walking on egg shells whenever I bring company over.
Seem like the right decision?

IMO get rid of the Apt or ask e-mech how to be a Dick to your landlord

Just talk to him first.

If he's a normal guy and not a total douche he'll understand and cut you some slack.
If not then tell him you're gonna do it anyway and if he doesn't like it he can break the lease and let
you leave. Tough shit.

Heavy carpeting. Or make your guests shed their shoes Japanese style upon entering. Or heed El Mech's sure to be diabolical advice.

Try putting a mat at the foot of the stairs, and take your shoes off there. Tell the girl to take her heels off before she gets on the stairs, citing your roommate's desire for quiet. Escalation and a solution.
And just don't make so much noise. Don't play loud music and talk even louder over it.

I had worse happen to me, once my landlord told me she didn't want me to have sex in my room, she said she didn't want me to bring girls there.

Some landlords like to be too controlling you need to be able to read that before you rent. Walking on eggshells where you live and pay rent sucks. I have a condo down the road and the ass. and neighbors were giving me a hard time so I told them I'm going to rent the place (free) to the worst ghetto family I can find if they don't shut the fuck up. Basically you have to out alpha your landlord and tell him what's up if he evicts you so be it. If you're on top of him flood his ass by creating a bathroom "accident"

Great thread! Thanks for sharing Ive learned a lot just reading the feedback.
Start looking for a new appt and negotiate with them [just in case]. By many state laws they cannot legally evict you for at least a month or so, so that gives you time to negotiate the best rent with several different landlords. In the meantime follow El Mech's advice and confront the landlord with an alpha attitude. You dont want to live under these circumstances and you will force him to end the contract or sublease at half price to the most ghetto people you can find. And the best part, if you are evicted you can stay that last month (or 2) for free. Look into alibi services like alibinetwork to get references from past landlords saying how great a tenant you are to use when negotiating with other landlords.

I don't know you or your landlord, but I think you guys are over-reacting a little (and kind of being dicks). Make a good faith attempt to be quiet, continue fucking girls, and then see what happens.
My landlord/roommate made some pretty stringent conditions, but has been pretty chill on a day to day basis.
I had a similar experience to hairyballs. Had an old crotchety lady tell me I couldn't fuck a girl in her place more than once a month. Gleaned that from an inquiry, so I never rented from her. Women past 40, if they aren't getting ass, they don't want anyone in a 20 mile radius getting any either.

Not too important but I wanted to clear up that I was looking at the apt and not yet renting it. I'm probably going to pass on it but I'll email the landlord with my concerns. Also the entrance is on the front patio so he would most likely see me coming and going a lot. Too much "eye in the sky" type shit for me.
Thanks for all the input though.
