*** Can someone tell me how to upload an attachment? I would like to post a letter we received from our neighbor. ***
We have lived in our duplex for 4.5 years. Our neighbor expects to never hear any semblance of noise any time of day. We have two kids, ages 6 and 3. She lives alone in a 4 bed, 2 bath duplex. We have computer speakers, not a sound system.
She is trying to tell me how to parent, where my kids should go inside and outside of the home, and how we should outfit our home in a way that suits her. No mention of anything she has done to try and lessen the "severity" of the issues on her end.
My kids have been on the balcony a total of one time since the start of the pandemic in mid March. She also lied in the letter--previous tenants were evicted as they had kids who would drink tea and jump off furniture at 9pm. So she was not as accommodating or compromising as she is trying to make it seem in the letter.
Am I wrong to think this is the epitome of entitlement and totally unacceptable? We try our best to be mindful of music and kid noise. Never play music after bylaw hours stipulate and kids are in bed and quiet from 7:30pm. We never throw parties and prior to the pandemic would rarely have small gatherings, mostly one other small family over for dinner and a visit. I asked a year ago how the noise was and she said through text "it is mostly okay." So which is it?
The landlord is best friends with this neighbor, built a hair cutting studio in the basement for her and now she is out of work and has probably lost it during the pandemic. Thanks for reading my letter! Any thoughts?
