How to Deal with Difficult Neighbors in Your Apartment

While we always hope for the best when we move into a new apartment, it is possible that you will move right in next to a difficult neighbor. Sometimes the neighbors will be loud and make noise late into the night and other times they are just grouchy and want nothing to do with anyone around them. When you do have difficult neighbors to work with in y our apartment, some of the steps that you can use to make it better include: 

# Be a good neighbor: This may seem like good sense, but the first step is to see whether you are a good neighbor. Are you behaving nicely or making the neighbors mad, so they are mad at you in the process? You may want to change some of y our own behaviors and see if this makes the difficult neighbor easier to work with.

# Get to know the neighbors: It is much easier to get along with someone you know compared to someone you have never talked to before. You can take the time to develop a casual relationship that can help both parties get along and could help you find a new friend. You can say hi to them in the hall or even invite them into your home for dinner.

# Have a candid conversation: If the neighbor is doing something that you do not like, you can address it in a direct and polite manner. For example, if they are loud, you can ask them to quiet down a bit. Let them know what they are doing to bother you and see if they are willing to change the behavior.

# Contact the property manager: If you have had a chance to talk to the neighbors and it did not work, you may need to contact your property manager. They may have more resources available to help you get the issue handled.

# Know your local laws: The local laws will depend on where you live. You need to check the rules and decide whether it is time to file a formal complaint against the neighbor if they are not willing to work with you to solve this issue. This should be something that you do as a last resort to help you deal with the issue.
