I have a problem with my neighbors, advice?...?

I live in a condo building, where I have been for almost a year. The people below me like to have guests a lot and in the past they have been careless with the door. Lately they have been better, but for some reason yesterday when the lady came home she slammed her front door (which is the noise that bothers me above all), her husband slammed it later when going out and around midnight and half past it happened twice, apparently some guests coming and going, mind you on a Monday night.


My question is, do I let it go, since overall they've improved (after talking to them about it several times) or do I mention it? My concern is if I DO mention it they'll think I'm too sensitive and it will have the opposite effect, and if I don't mention it they'll slide back into their old habits. WHAT TO DO?!


I'd especially like to hear from people who have been in a similar situation.I have a problem with my neighbors, advice?...?
When you live in a multi dwelling building you need to accept the fact that you'll occassionally hear your neighbors. We live in an end unit townhouse %26amp; do our best to be considerate - as does our neighbor - but we have both had ';noisy incidents'; which we have both ignored. We're on very good terms w/our neighbor %26amp; after any ';noisy incidents'; the ';offender'; always brings it up next time we see each other %26amp; we both explain %26amp; apologize - %26amp; we have both promised to let the other one know if future ';noisy incidents'; get annoying. I can't imagine that happening, tho. It's called consideration. Here's a couple of examples:


1. We let each other know when we're expecting guests - %26amp; some extra noise so the neighbor is prepared. (We also keep an eye on each other's places when we're gone)


2. We let our neighbor know before we got a new puppy %26amp; apologized in advance for any disturbances. Luckily the puppy settled in quietly. And the first time we left the puppy alone in the evening we gave her our cell numbers in case the puppy missed us %26amp; cried or barked. She didn't call - although when asked, she told me later that puppy did bark a little %26amp; she could hear it thundering up %26amp; down the stairs! We laughed about it.





My advice? Get on good terms w/your neighbors. If the noise is excessive then ask them NONCONFRONTATIONALLY ';what was going on the other night?'; And let them know if you're having guests who might be heard ';stomping'; over their heads! You don't have to be good buddies - but everyone's life will be better if you're considerate neighbors. And you could start the ball rolling the next time YOU have guests over! Good Luck!

Tell them you appreciate the fact they have taken your feelings into consideration and noticed they are doing better going in and out, but if they could stop slamming the door especially at night if your trying to sleep would be greatly appreciated. Leave them a note with a bottle of wine this way no ones feelings will be very hurt. Everyone has to live together...
