My landlord and his girlfriend keep having loud sex

[Imdanny]

My single, 60 year old landlord has been partying with this new girlfriend for three days and nights.

He lives upstairs except his bedroom is on a landing with a porch with stairs leading directly to the concrete In front of my door. In other words you walk out his bedroom door across a patio down a few steps and if you turned left that's where my door is. The concrete runs all along the front and the if you were to tun left the side of my studio. It's all covered and the covering is he floor of yet another patio for the second as opposed to the ground floor of the house.

In other words this is an unfortunate layout in terms of not making noise and having privacy.

She has been stomping all over the floor above my head, and laughing out loud, and they have been talking, dropping things on the floor, and having loud sex for three days

AaaAaHh AAAA aAah AaaAaaAaAAAAWAAWA Mmmm mmm AAAAH. Intersperse with moaning, laughing, and him saying things like, "Oh boy!"

It's repulsive! I've been using my headphones but this hasn't stopped for three days.

He brings home lots of women. They usually only stay overnight.

I paid to live here, on time, the very day I was supposed to- in other words for 3O days in advance. We have to get up early. He knows this. How rude.

OMG, Danny, you're kidding!! Eeeeuuuwwww. How about turning up some music real loud? Maybe it would remind him there are others within earshot. So he hollers at you -- at least he'd have to stop screwing for a few minutes to do that!

Hahaha, ewe Danny!! Sorry you are dealing with this! Maybe you should make some extra noise that he will hear and it will remind him that if he cam hear you-- you can hear him...

 

[Loves Vintage]

How long is your lease?

 

[iheartscience]

Yikes! I can also hear my neighbors going at it and it is not pleasant, to say the least! Moving in a few weeks, though, and I'm hoping my next place is more sound proof!

I hope you can find a new place and move-that landlord sounds awful as a landlord and a neighbor!

 

[Arkteia]

He is 60 and they keep doing it for 3 nights and 3 days? He should be on ads for Viagra...
Sorry for laughing, I know it is not fun. We once spent a night in a hotel in Barcelona with a pair like this sharing the next suite and it was not too pleasant. Any way to wiggle out of the lease?

 

[Cehrabehra]

Why not just go up the stairs and knock on the door while he's in the midst of coitus? When he answers the door tell him point blank that perhaps he is unaware how loud it all is and you thought maybe he might like to know since it could be embarrassing for both of you.

 

[Matata]

Record it and play a loud continuous loop outside of his place at a time most inconvenient to him

 

[MichelleCarmen]

Haven't you had other problems your landlord? Something about him flipping out about a chair? Anything else? If this keeps up, you probably can find a way to get out of your lease. I think loud noise may qualify and it's not like YOU can actually do anything about it as he's your landlord, so you may have to take the next step.

When I was in college my roomates I lived on the first floor of an old house converted to apartments. So not very quiet and noise was an issue in both directions for everyone in the house. Mostly, we had to accept it's part of apartment living and deal with it.

But the couple above us tended to enjoy very...enthusiastic...sex, and that's just different than hearing their tv or footsteps. So one evening, after an especially loud, and graphic, incident, my roomates and I gathered together under their bedroom to give them a loud round of applause and some cheering, because it had obviously been quite the effort.

They tried much harder to be discreet from then on.

 

[kenny]

That sucks . . . err . . . I mean, that's terrible.

Here's what I'd do.
Record it.
Put your speakers outside pointing at his bedroom window.
When the next woman shows up and starts moaning, crank up the volume.

I was going to say the same thing.

take the Viagra away from him now. ...

 

[Enerchi]

GROSS!!! Fine if it was YOU, but to listen to other people... NO NO NO NO NO !!!

I love Matata's idea - record it then replay it!!! LOL!!! And Aviastar, too - clap and applaud the performance!

(This is ImDanny after a particularly good "show"!!)

Sorry - I shouldn't make jokes, because it must be so frustrating to listen to. I would pick a time that you can speak with him quietly and just let him know how thin the walls are and how much you can hear - perhaps throw a phrase or word or something specific in, that he'll know "uh oh" you really CAN hear us. Just being honest and straight forward is the way to go, IMHO.

Good luck - keep us posted... and sneak in and flush the viagra!

UGH Bad, bad memories...I had this same problem with our old upstairs neighbors when we lived in an apartment. I got SO fed up with her fake orgasm wailing (I mean seriously it's NOT possible to have a 10 minute one) that one night I LOST it. Loud music did nothing, but when I took a trash can, flipped it open side up, jumped up on my bed and banged on the ceiling/their floor as hard as I could until they stopped (which took all of 5 seconds), it was the LAST time I had to deal with it. Of course they also moved out 3 days later mid month. I guess I pissed them off.

I'd say interrupt them. If you can't bang on the ceiling with something that won't poke holes (no broom handles, etc. - you want something with a wide surface), then go beat on the door. If that doesn't work, call the police. You are a tenant. You pay rent, you have rights. It doesn't matter if he owns the property if YOU are paying and obligated to stay there/pay. If he wants to have loud obnoxious sex, he can give up the extra income known as your rent check!

..i learn something new everyday on PS...

 

[MissStepcut]

You can easily hear them talking, laughing, dropping things? Seems like this dwelling was not well-suited to be split up into multiple residences. Is there any chance of him retro-fitting it with more soundproofing between the floors?

 

[HollyS]

Oh, I've been there. The squeaking bedsprings above my head (4-plex apartment) and the moaning. And then one of the parties getting up and showering after. L-o-v-e-l-y.

My sympathies. Maybe telling her that the details of her love life are not exactly . . . secret . . . would lead her to be more discreet??? Nah. Probably not.

 

[junebug17]

Gross!! That's awful Danny - no advice except maybe talk to him about it? Sorry you have to deal with this!

nope,it'll be louder the next time.

 

[asscherisme]

Ohh, thats awful! Reminds me of college when my room mate would bring guys back to our room and go at it when she thought I was sleeping!! I ended up moving home that semester and commuting 40 miles each way to get away from the situation when the school would not help.

Can you get out of your lease? Do you think there is a chance he does not hear and would be embarrased if he knew you heard? And perhaps could someone bring it up how thin the walls are??

Good luck.

 

[Imdanny]

Thanks everyone! LOL!

I have to stay here unless I can find something better at the same price.

Believe me- this area (this whole island) is one of the toughest rental markets in the US and I am not looking for the pea under the 12th mattress! It was just so - repulsive and ongoing (his one night stands usually last one night).

So update- this is the 4th day/ night.

I can hear talking but very calm talking (I should think they're tired or maybe the magic is wearing off?).

This is terrible but I take comfort in thinking he's a very lonely man- what are the chances that this is or will develop into something real and permant?

It just so hard no pun intended to tell with him- he is alone and quiet for days, sometimes he even stays with friends for up to three night, sometimes he has dinner parties, sometimes, well, this, and it's impossible to tell what's coming (or who ) next.

And never mind he made it quite clear he wants to sleep with me. They all do. What can I say.

What I didn't mention is hat Ibquit smoking at he same time he found this loud new relationship. So that added to the stress for me.

Right now- four days completely smoke free.

Indidnt want to start a thread about it (for a third time - sigh) but it's true.

Let me sat this: I'm not quitting because I want to. I'm quitting because I feel have to. I don't think that's bad as long as I'm honest with myself about it. So you want to do things that aren't good for you. Some things you just don't do. Casual, non-monogomous, premiscuous sex is something Ive never done. I think I'll have to think of cigarettes the same way.

BTW, about the Viagra- LOL!! I think it's alchol he's on but I don't know. Let's just hope he goes to sleep early and doesn't start with this again. It's so gross.

Laurie, it's interesting you should say this. Our desktop is broken and we have no other way to play even semi-loud music. Before it broke I was forever asking SO to turn down the volume when he was watching movies.

Well to heck with that! We're thinking about getting a new computer for Christmas (apparently they've become cheap, like half the price since we bought this last one six years ago) and I'm going to let him watch his movies with the sound cranked up. Yeah, after thee days of the guy acting like we don't even live here- you bet.

 

[Arkteia]

Danny, congratulations on quitting smoking! I think you should start a thread about it because it is so important. Hang on there, it is hard!
Nice of you to try to understand him;.
I wish you can get a very good computer for X-mas.

 

[jewelerman]

Danny,
I would love to live above you!I can be loud and rude and do what ever i want! you and your boyfriend need to knock on his door and tell him what you can hear and to keep the noise level down.By not saying anything for 4 days you have given him permission to keep doing the thing that drives you crazy because you haven't told him to stop!people like this are so self involved that they wont stop with the bad manners until you tell them to stop! You need to start documenting these problems you are having in case things get really bad and start complaining to him as your landlord.Hes walking all over you because either your to polite and non-confrontational and my friend you are giving him permission to do so!At first you complain to him and if he wont comply then you call the housing authority in you area and file a complaint.GOOD LUCK!

 

[Natylad]

That's an unbearable problem...Put a note under his door and just make it clear that they're too loud and they should stop...Like this you can pass the message without having to deal with him in person...

 

[50shadesofblack]

First of all, congrats on quitting smoking! I quit this year too and I know how hard it can be.

Secondly, I know it would be the best if you could talk to him calmly when there was no shagging involved, but honestly, I'd be embarrassed. I think I would end up waiting until they started doing it again, to go knock on his door and ask if he can keep it down, that way he'd probably be more embarrassed than I was

 

[Imdanny]

He's walking all over me, um, literally!

Urgh, we're into this 'man' thing- you know how mm tend to say nothing to each other and pretend everything is fine?

I used , all my growing up, not understand and think it was so stoopid

last week when SO and I had our (apparently) once every 10 year fight, he said nothing. I was so relieved. It was better for both of us. It's so against my personality (I am confrontational, I do like to talk about thinks) but us both pretending it didn't happen (and it was over then) worked out so well for both of us

I think as I said his new love affair will be temporary. I prdict she'll be gone by Saturday.

Living "with" someone isn't easy even if you have seperate enterances.

But hopefully she'll be gone very soon.

 

[Kaleigh]

You are paying to live there... You have rights..

I am thinking you just think she will go away?? If she does, there will be another skank to replace her... I hate to say that word but your Landlord sounds like scum and doesn't hold a high bar for the company he keeps??

I would be like dude, we hear everything, and in this digital age, that is not a good thing...

I am guessing he couldn't care a less.

If that's the case, you guys should move...

Life is too short.

 

[Arkteia]

They got a good deal on this lease..which is a lot! Listening to loud lovemaking was not on it, but it seems that the landlord is not a mean guy ...just inconsiderate. Maybe still talk to him?
