Noise at night, mess in stairwell, smoking by the window. Tenants feel powerless because they don't own the apartment.
Problem neighbors – more common than you think
What does the law say?
Nuisance prevention law protects everyone. Noise during rest hours (14:00-16:00, 23:00-07:00) is an offense. You can contact police, municipality, or court.
What to do
- Try talking to the neighbor first.
- Document: dates, times, recordings.
- Contact the building committee.
- If unresolved – file complaint with municipality.
- In severe cases – contact police.
Common mistakes
Getting into confrontation. Not documenting. Leaving because of a neighbor without trying solutions.
