Legal Stuff & Discussion in English

Okay - proving it. It's not terribly loud during the day (especially with a busy street and highway traffic running nearby) - but at like 1 or 2 in the a.m. it's ear-splitting, especially when it's on automatic, i.e. starting and stopping every ten minutes or so - and you know that ka-rash! sound when and electric motor is driven with them relays or whatever the dang things are. I can't ask the judge to come and listen at like 1 a.m. Recording it won't be too impressive, cuz listening to a recording in a court room is one thing, and listening to the actual thing when you're trying to get some sleep is quite another.

come on, we are having a serious conversation and you go and mention a judge coming over and listening to it. Your testimony will be enough, but like i said, it's not likely that i raises to the level of nuisance. Ok, what kind of remedy do you want? Like money or u want to force him to buy a new unit?

Well, ugh - soundproofing it might be the cheapest, or, if not - at least servicing it so that the buzzing and the clanking would be a bit less loud.

Well, you may offer to pay for half of it...why dont you write a polite letter to the guy and tell him about your problem. If he tells you to pound sand, or donest respond, at least you have something to take to court and show the judge your willingness to settle the matter amicably. In your letter you may even offer to service the unit- most likely he will not even respond. But it will look good in from of a judge. and when you finnaly get to small claims you can say that the earleir offer to pay is revoked.;)

Well, that's kinda what I figured, only there's a coupla things that don't seem right - me (or anybody) having to pay to fix the guy's (it's a chick, actually) equipment, the other is if she can stand that kinda din she won't even understand what I'm talking about.

I had some friends bought a condo and got into a similar type of situation, with a neighbor's unit sitting right atop their bedroom, they hired a tech told them the unit didn't even have normal rubber fittings, so in summertime their whole bedroom would buzz like a vibrator. The neighbor clammed, the only way to fix was replace (and rebuild half the roof), the whole nine yards. Had to sell the condo as soon as they could find a buyer.

Ok, so number one, the chick donest care for whatever reason- she may be deaf, the unit may be outside and she dont hear it or she may enjoy the sound. Its' irrelevant why she hasnt fixed it yet..it bothers you so you must find a way to deal with it. One way is to do what i sudgested...

number two..if you would like, and i know you will never agree to it, you can pay me and i will negotiate the problem down for you. Its not a good idea because it so simple you can do it yourself. and of course number three..you can move, not the best choise but in this particuar case it's not so crazy that it could clarify as a nuisance.

I know a case where a guy was living next to a horse farm and had to smell a large heap of horseshit every morning when he walked his kids to the bus. On top of it, in the afternoon, hes kids walked by a stable where horses were mating. He sued and lost.

Well, no offense, but if I thought money could fix the problem (or were really willing to spend any on it), I would have taken care of it a long time ago. Problem is most likely she'll never see my end of it, and tell me to scram - and I am not eager to BOTH persuade, AND do all the work for her. It's a dilemma. I agree proving a nuisance is next to impossible here. I hoped the noise would get to her, too, didn't happen. I got until April or May to ponder it some more - then make a move. Thanks for trying to help, anyway )

It's only October so you got like, 9 months to ponder it. This is a very common problem and almost always that is sovled with a little $ incentive;)

yep. once again, just as I thought - it's money that works, not justice. :evillaugh

what's justice...she has to pay for your well being? she's not violating the law, it's just you are a bit inconvenienced. So to resolve your problem, i think you should pay.

Nothing to do with justice.:cool:

[Птиц]

she's not violating the law

dat is tru. if dey passed a law against being an a-hole, most ppl would be behind bars :evillaugh
