    Hi all, i've been renting an office for the last few years and recently a new building manager has moved in and decided to start running loud events in a room below my office which has made my work near impossible as I need quite to work and I'm losing clients.

    I brought it up with him and he had a kind of "well tough" attitude.

    I never signed a lease with the building owner but I am paid up till November and have receipts.

    I've invested close to €30,000 in my business and moving is not really an option but I can't work with the noise levels.

    What a nuisance! I was in a similar situation when a new cafe was being kitted out under my office. I too need quiet to work with clients and the sound of a hammer drill right under my feet did not help at all. I complained to the owner, making reasonable suggestions (only needing 4 half hour periods of quietness in an 8 hour day, two days a week). I arranged to have my secretary inform the builders if when i needed quiet and when it was ok to be noisy. I appreciated they had a job to do, but so did everyone else above and around them.

    I only had some success because the builders were mostly ignorant thanks to the foreman who never had the balls to face me himself. He actually pretended to be someone else when i finally caught up with him. The owners and incoming tenants had given instructions to halt work and be cooperative with existing tenants when requested. It was all the builders in this case, trying to rush the job. Had i not complained and kept on their backs, i would have had no peace at all.

    Who do you pay rent to? Write a letter or email of complaint so there us a record there. Suggest a solution, rather than just kicking up a fuss and you may get somewhere.
