Q: What to do with neighbor playing loud music?

So I live in a mobile home park with four others living with me and during last summer my neighbor’s, which we have no problem with, her son moved in with his daughter, I heard that they came somewhere from Texas, and ever since then she, the granddaughter (in high school), has been playing loud music as I’m writing this as well. During after school/weekend and holidays she will start playing music at 11:30 am and stop at 8:30pm when we’re trying to sleep, sometimes she won’t stop until she feels like it. And to start with my neighbor’s son, he has a truck with faulty alarm system in his truck so when ever he unlocks it the alarm goes off, it is annoying.

We haven’t done nothing to them. We have not confronted them because of the amateurity behavior they have. (Fun fact: when I try to play music (not to loud and just for a little bit) the granddaughter starts to play her music louder)

Anything I can do ?

Should I call the land lord?

Do I need to make a complaint?

A: YOU ALREADY KNOW YOUR OPTIONS

TALK TO THEM; CALL LANDLORD, CALL THE POLICE.

IT IS ALWAYS BEST TO TRY TO BE NEIGHBORLY AND TALK TO THEM IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER........MAYBE EXPLAINING THAT WE ALL LIVE SO CLOSE TO ONE ANOTHER WE HAVE TO GO OUT OF OUR WAY TO BE CONSIDERATE............AND THEN EXPLAIN THE SITUATION.

A: The landlord should promptly put an end to this. If the landlord doesn't make this unreasonable noise disturbance end, you may have a case against the landlord for breach of contract and related damages, and you may have a valid basis to terminate the lease and move out. More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney such as myself.
