Fuppin house party next door...

IT-Guy

House next door is rented to a group of Polish lads, regularly have loud music playing into the small hours on Fri and Sat nights. I've had to knock on the door a few times to ask them to turn down the music after it's woken me from my sleep. Normally they'll do so begrudgingly.

Tonight took an ugly turn though, knocked on the house door at about 2.30am and asked the guy (know their names, just don't wanna put them up) that answered to turn down the music. He was well drunk and got aggressive when I asked him to turn down the music as I've work in the morning. Told me to **** off after saying something along the lines of I'm always the same, asking them to turn down the music etc. Anyway to cut a long story short, I rang the landlord, the landlord rang the tenant, the tenant went ape**** and started pounding on my door shouting what I presume were swear words at me in Polish. Called the Gardai and the landlord again, yer man goes nuts again and starts kicking my door! Eventually the Gardai arrived and after having a chat with them they knocked on his door, warned him to stay away from my house and got him to turn the music down. They called back to me and as we were talking the music comes back on full volume! They knocked again and he started shouting at the Gardai but they calmed him and the music went down. About 15 mins after the Gardai left the music started at a low level and has been gradually rising. Sounds like a ****in discotheque in there now. Not really looking for advice though all welcome, just needed to rant...F****N CU*TS!!!

Yep, been living here about 2 years and own the house, tonight was the first time I felt afraid in my home, genuinely thought yer man was gonna kick the door down. He's a good bit bigger than me too and had company...

You could always play music during the week at night. Bring over a few big people as well just in case. They would get the message then.

pelt him with your own **** next time you see him.

Don't want to shít you up OP, but I often wonder how many stabbings and beatings occur because of something so simple as this.

Maybe talk to your neighbours when they are sober? Like have a chat and just explain your situation? Keeping you awake at 4:30 is just taking the piss. I know i'd lose the plot too.

He had company while he was kicking your door? I would make a formal complaint to the Gardai about this, even if nothing happens, it would be on record so if anything happens in the future you can say you made a previous complaint and he caused you trouble in the past, you know? Stay away from them when they are drinking, that's the best advice I can give ya.

Was thinking of doing that alright but knowing the lads next door they'll take that as meaning it's OK to have parties! Anyway the music has stopped, think they've gone to bed now. Hopefully will get a few hours sleep before work in the morning:)

Goodnight.

Was thinking the same thing re stabbings and assaults, he went nuts! I'm renting a room to a Polish guy and he knows the guys next door. The knob next door rang my housemate and accused him of ringing the Gardai and the landlord, he was in his back garden roaring down the phone for all the world to hear. Beyond drunk...

Told the Gardai what occurred in person but you're right, no harm in taking a trip to the local station and making a formal complaint. Was thinking of calling into the neighbours tomorrow, asking them to play the music up loud and bringing them into my place so they can hear it. Just hope they don't decide to go on a day long bender tomorrow as they've done before. As for the bolded bit, it sounds like good advice but tonight was just ridiculous, the bass was rattling the radiator in my room it was that loud!

Turn on some music at ear-bleeding volume when you get up for work in the morning and they're all in a vodka coma.....should wake them up nicely

Surely being an It guy you'd have been invited?

dont play with fire to fight fire. no music wars just make your formal complaint with the AGS and the landlord.

This is easy. Put on some headphones and take the power back. Listen to something along these lines, and fall asleep. Win.

Alternatively, leave your job, learn polish and go party

been there done that, listened to the radio or the iPod in the past when the partying next door got too much. Eventually had to go confront them on it or go slowly insane, tonight was nasty though. No intentions of leaving the job or learning Polish though I've a few choice phrases I could use! I will be partying tomorrow night though in the pub and not at home keeping some poor bastid awake...

And the music's back on...un****ingbelievable

Well maybe that's what you should do. Stay up late the night he has to work making noise and show him how big a problem it is. He might learn something from it

Not the best thing to do to somebody who kicks your door with his pose behind him.

Definately, keep calling the cops until they actually do something about it. It's not on and this attitude of "sure it's the weekend, it's grand" is not on either.

I doubt he would like to be kept up until 5AM if he has to get up for work in the morning. I bet the same lad would be knocking (or kicking) on your door to get you to keep quiet.

Call them again and tell the Gardai that you have work in the morning and that it's simply not fair. There has to be something they can do.

As you live there you want the least amount of trouble. I suggest ringing the landlord tomorrow and ask him to sort it out. He may or may not do anything about it. Tell him everything that happened. Landlord probably won't evict them or anything, but if they are giving that much trouble to neighbours then maybe he will. Ask your other neighbours to see if they have any opinions on the matter too. They might be pissed off but too afraid to do anything about it, you know?

Used to live in an apartment in Galway, where the neighbours had a lot of late-night parties. I kept my sanity knowing that, in the morning, revenge was on it's way. You see, my flatmate had a bass guitar and with it, a 250 watt bass amp. At 8am the next day, I would be up, and the bass would be so loud that every freestanding item in my apartment would visibly shake.

My advice OP? Get yourself a bass guitar and at least a 250 watt bass amp, wait until the morning, and play the start of I Wanna Be Adored until your fingers hurt!

master_chief

I can't see any other option than to keep ringing garda / their landlord and keep complaining. They should sort them out pretty quickly.

Gaunty

I had this problem before, made a topic on it last week or the week before. If they are just playing music loudly the Guards will fob you off and tell you its a Department of the Evironment issue and do nothing. I imagine they only called over to you because he was trying to get into your house. I can't see the Guards being bothered enough to keep calling to your area to stop them.

upandcumming

Brick up his doors.

Play some ****ty ass music on repeat, full blast when you leave for work, having it play all day non stop till you get home.

Revenge time!

This seems like the best option to me. It sounds like it'll get worse before it gets better. It's not like they'd arrest anyone for loud music. But you might get a broken door or worse if they're drunk and belligerent.

Retaliate = You've done something wrong = They've got a point = Gardai will be less likely to help you as it's not a one-sided complaint.

Best of luck, i hope it sorts itself out

I find this ridiculous. What good is calling some department on monday going to do when you are kept awake on saturdaynight?

Loud music in the middle of the night should be taken care of by the guards. Warn the party once. Have to drop by a 2nd time that night? Confiscate the equipment.

Burn their house down!

Have to say the Gardai were brilliant, they've been called to the house before by the neighbors on the other side. The guys last night were very laid back and I don't mean that as an insult, it was the right attitude to bring into the situation, took the tension levels down a notch or two. They told me to get onto the Noise Pollution department of the council and make a complaint there. Hopefully the landlord will kick them out though, told him on the phone last night that's what I wanted, well pissed off with that cnut next door this morning. Have put up with this crap for too long

Gummy Panda

I don't mean to burst your bubble but the landlord is probably not going to kick them out unless they cost him money.

AFAIK it takes a lot of effort to evict someone if they're paying their rent and not damaging the property. Also imagine the lost rent if he kicks them out and has to wait for new tenants.

Also if he did kick them out, there would be a notice period in which they could make your life hell.

IT-Guy

That would normally be true but it's a slightly different case here. The landlord is a local businessman and the tenant next door is also an employee of his! So not only is knobhead in danger of being evicted he may potentially be fired as the landlord is ruthless. Also no fear of finding a tenant, in the 2 years I've been here the house has always been occupied.

The biggest problem with that is if they are willing to kick at your door to bitch at you for calling the guards, they would be more than capable of knocking your door down to cut out that racket.

If anyone is entitled to anything, it's a night's sleep. This may come as news to you, but some people work weekends and don't have the luxury of losing a night on Friday or Saturday.

And WTF has "being lucky" to have a job got to do with it anyway?

Whats the landlords number, we'll all ring him 24 7 and see how he likes it

1/ says me and the million or so people that socialise @ the weekends:rolleyes:

2/ it has everything to do with it.the guys renting,off his boss,chances are its for poor wages,things are hard enough in this day and age,and chances are the guy can't Afford to drink in pubs.

Yea of course he's entitled to have a party, but not having the music so loud that it manages to rattle the OP's radiator like he mentioned in one of his posts. You surely don't need music that loud ffs.That really is just taking the píss. And then to go banging and kicking on the OP's door...

Just keep getting onto the Gardai OP. And get onto that department they mentioned...you're gonna have to get this sorted, unless you just want to grin and bare it, so you might as well start now. You got FA to lose. Good luck
