A new neighbor should not make it difficult to enjoy peace at home.
In this story, a woman has a new neighbor who has a dog.
She noticed that the neighbor’s dog had been barking nonstop since they moved into the apartment.
The dog’s bedroom shared a wall with hers, making the constant barking impossible to escape.
Now, she’s unsure whether to file a complaint because they’re still new and she didn’t want to cause any trouble with them.
What would you do in this situation? Check out the full details below.
Neighbors dog won’t stop barking
We live in an apartment building, and we recently got some new neighbors who have a dog.
Their bedroom shares a wall with our bedroom, and they keep their dog in there.
Since last week when they moved in, all day, every day, their dog has been barking nonstop.
I deal with pretty intense migraines sometimes, which worries me on top of it just being blatantly annoying.
This woman started thinking about filing a noise complaint against her new neighbor.
Last night, I had a very hard time sleeping, so I called in late to work in hopes to get a couple hours of sleep.
I might as well have gone in at my normal time, because right at 7 am when I was supposed to start, the dog starts barking.
I went into the next room over, and I can still hear it through the walls.
I don’t want to be a jerk because they just moved in, but this is getting really old, really fast.
Would I be in the wrong filing a noise complaint with my landlord?
Nonstop barking from a bedroom directly beside yours would be incredibly difficult to ignore.
It’s understandable why OP was feeling that way, especially without complete rest from the night before.
I think giving them a chance to address the problem would be reasonable.
But contacting the landlord about repeated noise does not automatically make her a jerk.
