I'll try to keep this as short as possible...
I live with my boyfriend, and his mom is our landlord, and she lives next door...here's the problem...
The upstairs apartment has been rented to the most obnoxious skanky jerks on earth. Every day I come home and there are at least 3 people here, constantly banging up and down the stairs and all around upstairs, at all hours. i have complained to the landlord (my boyfriend's mom) on several occasions, and she has spoken to them 3 times (after the 3rd time, they got a piano, of all things) and nothing has changed. Now the whole family thinks I am crazy and noone wants to hear about it. What do I do? These people are making me nuts. I try not to let it bother me but it is just not possible. Help!!!!!!

Hate to say it, but since no one else is sharing your anxiety about this your only choices are to tolerate it or move. You can't make your BF's mom do anything she doesn't want to do. Have you tried discussing the situation with those people upstairs yourself? Maybe they really don't appreciate how loud they're being.

Does the family think your boyfriend is crazy too? Have HIM speak to his mother. If she doesn't do anything about it, move. (I'm sensing she's letting you live there rent free

) If she isn't, go over her head and call the police. It's against the law to disurb the peace. If it is rent free, take it or rent your own place.

unfortunately he is not bothered by it...or so hey says. he is not the type to complain about anything!! and we are not rent free, i wish

but it is hard to feel like i have a problem with his family, they have always been good to me.

Sometimes neighbors can be so inconsiderate! I know what that's like. At my old house, our neighbors almost always had parties, and cars would be scattered EVERYWHERE. Cars were parked in front of people's driveways...This was late at night, and nobody really needed to leave, but we could hear the music and everything...Solution - we moved...far far FAR away from our old house...we didn't really want to call the cops since it was tolerable, not a matter of life and death or whatever... but it was such a nuisance, so we got outta there!
