However, if excessive noise is affecting your quality of life, it is important to address the issue. Here are some tips on how to create a noise complaint as a tenant.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Keep a record of the noise<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before making a noise complaint, keep a record of the noise. Note the times and dates when the noise occurs, as well as the duration and type of noise. This will help you to present a clear and concise case when you make the complaint.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Speak with your neighbour<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before escalating the situation, try speaking with your neighbour about it. Be polite and respectful, and explain how the noise is affecting your quality of life. Your neighbour may not be aware that the noise is causing a disturbance, and a friendly conversation can often resolve the issue without the need for further action.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-72239 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.complete-ltd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/noise-complaint-blog-e1683291963671.jpg\" alt=\"Young man and adult handshaking\" width=\"2121\" height=\"1208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.complete-ltd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/noise-complaint-blog-e1683291963671.jpg 2121w, https:\/\/www.complete-ltd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/noise-complaint-blog-e1683291963671-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.complete-ltd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/noise-complaint-blog-e1683291963671-1024x583.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.complete-ltd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/noise-complaint-blog-e1683291963671-768x437.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.complete-ltd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/noise-complaint-blog-e1683291963671-1536x875.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.complete-ltd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/noise-complaint-blog-e1683291963671-2048x1166.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2121px) 100vw, 2121px\" \/><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Contact your landlord or property manager<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If speaking with your neighbour does not resolve the issue, contact your landlord or property manager. Provide them with the record of the noise and explain how it is affecting your quality of life. Ask if there are any specific noise restrictions or quiet hours in place that can be enforced.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Submit a formal complaint<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the noise continues, submit a formal complaint to your landlord or property manager. Be sure to include all the details of the noise, including the times and dates, as well as any action you have already taken to address the issue. The complaint should be in writing, either via email or a letter, and should be kept respectful and concise.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-72243 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.complete-ltd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/iStock-1155512654-e1683291992533.jpg\" alt=\"A man writing on the paper with pen\" width=\"2103\" height=\"1156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.complete-ltd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/iStock-1155512654-e1683291992533.jpg 2103w, https:\/\/www.complete-ltd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/iStock-1155512654-e1683291992533-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.complete-ltd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/iStock-1155512654-e1683291992533-1024x563.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.complete-ltd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/iStock-1155512654-e1683291992533-768x422.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.complete-ltd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/iStock-1155512654-e1683291992533-1536x844.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.complete-ltd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/iStock-1155512654-e1683291992533-2048x1126.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2103px) 100vw, 2103px\" \/><\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Seek mediation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the noise complaint is not resolved by your landlord or property manager, seek mediation services.
