There are lots of benefits to living in an apartment versus a house. Security, convenience, more amenities, lower maintenance, a sense of community, and often it’s more affordable. Recent data reveals that around 38% of American renters reside in apartment blocks. But staying in such close proximity to other people also has its downsides. Less space, landlord or body corporate restrictions, and of course, limited privacy.

There’s an online community dedicated to sharing the joys and sorrows of apartment living. It has over 110,000 members posting tips and tricks about anything from decorating, to dealing with landlords, to maximizing space. What really caught our eye were some of the horror stories apartment dwellers have had to deal with.

From neighbor’s complaints about snoring, to cigarette butts landing on their balcony, and even cars crashing through the wall. Some people are dealing with the most. Keep scrolling for Bored Panda’s best picks from r/Apartmentliving, and don’t forget to upvote your favorites.

    This is sweet, maybe the only "nightmare neighbors" here are those who keep their music loud late at night; when others are sleeping. But it doesn't always work so well; we've had neighbors for 6 years who'd play music loudly and often outdoors, until 2am, sometimes 5am. My husband is in a high-up position at a medical facility and gets called in at any odd hours of any day (in addition to his regular working schedule). Sadly my many quiet, sweet pleads did nothing... Only when recently I started using the weed-eater, lawnmower, miter saw, edger, basically any power tool of our arsenal outside during their many frequent, obnoxious parties...did they stop 😅😹 I never wanted to be that person but they pushed me to "fight fire with fire"

    We had neighbor leaving dog waste on the lawn which was just outside out patio. We tried tslking to them but then they just had their dogs go in the bushes between our patio and the lawn. We reported the apartment management who blrw us off. So we called code enforcement. It was cleaned up the next day.

    Scrolling through this list of horrors brought back memories of my own apartment dwelling dramas. And boy, have I had a few. Personally, I prefer living in a free-standing house. Partly because I have a pet, and partly because I love my privacy and space. When I say pet, what I mean is a furkid. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love my dog.

    So imagine my surprise when I got an unexpected knock on my door one random Friday morning and found an animal welfare inspector standing there, alongside a security guard. Completely confused, and very convinced they were at the wrong apartment, I asked how I could assist.

    Here, we are only allowed to water our plants on our patios. To water inside the apartment is a lease violation & we only get four for the lifetime of our lease. The upstairs patios are at a 5% decline so the water (whether from rain or otherwise) always rolls down onto my neighbor's patio. If she has a problem with it, she is to take it to management. Period.

    I accidentally did this to my downstair neighbors once and I was mortified. To be fair, I didn't know they were in the garden, and I didn't know there was water in my BBQ cover that was hanging on our railing. I went to move it and dumped everything on them. I can only assume that this neighbor didn't care much about what they were doing.

    “I’m here to investigate a complaint, mam,” came the reply. To which I confidently told him that he must have my apartment confused with another. The inspector glanced down at his notes, repeated my apartment number and told me that he was definitely at the right place.

    At this point, my very healthy and happy “velcro dog” was right at my feet, seemingly just as confused as me. Mind you, I did notice the inspector checking the dog out, with a slightly perplexed look.

    In Georgia, this is a lease violation &, because of the 2005/2023 Georgia Smokefree Air Act the perp can be arrested. If convicted, for first offense, they will receive a misdemeanor charge with up to a $500 fine & up to 6-months in jail. Each new offense the law gets stiffer/harsher. Go for it!

    ADVERTISEMENT

    To cut a long and crazy story short, it turns out “someone” had reported me for leaving my dog alone at home for days on end. The inspector was very satisfied that this wasn’t the case, and that my dog was living his best life, at times believing he too was human.

    I obviously had more than enough proof that I’d not gone away. I also allowed the inspector to check the dog, his food and treats cupboard, water bowl, sleeping quarters (my bedroom), etc. I had my dog's up-to-date vet card at hand, as well as great photos and references to prove my competence as a pet owner. The inspector didn't ask for these but did apologize for his visit, adding that he often has to waste time and resources being called out to complexes, for nothing in particular.

    "You have 14 hours to do what you have to do thats plenty of time." Funny how everyone assumes that everyone else keeps daytime hours. Some of us are on a 7pm to 7am work schedule. I own my own house, but houses are close together here. When I'm sleeping at 10am, that's when all the lawn mowers, road construction, house maintenance, and doorbell ringings go on. Observing quiet living should be a 24 hour courtesy in close living situations like apartments. Either way, just do like us night-shifters do: turn on a loud fan to dull that s**t out when you're trying to sleep.

    "I'm x yrs old & have health issues ..." Sorry but no one cares. With that, your note went from "interesting, I should read this" to "ignorable, they sound like a Karen". Just stick to the "Quiet time is 10pm-8am" reminder then call the property manager.

    When I posted about my experience on the complex WhatsApp group chat (don’t get me started on those), I received a very rude direct message. The guilty party told me they’d been “watching” me since I moved in and that I am “never at home”.

    I found this quite amusing but also infuriating since I am at home 90% of the time – and how would they know whether I was or wasn’t. I responded by telling them to up their stalking game because I’ve been home the whole week, and I’m currently typing this message from my lounge. "Can you see me now, Karen?"

    You need to tell him he can't sleep here and tell him he can sleep in front of your neighbors door. Another think you can do is informed the office there is a homeless man sleeping in a hallway.

    Maybe the screws holding the drywall to the wood framing in the ceiling. The landlord should have it fixed because it represents a danger; i.e. the ceiling could fall down on you.

    In the UK, it's unnecessary to have extinguishers in communal areas as we wouldn't want untrained people moving away from the fire into the safety of the compartmented corridor to retrieve it, and then go back into the risk room again, as if they use the wrong type it can cause more issues

    A bit more back and forth, and it emerged that my lovely neighbor had assumed my long absence because she hadn’t seen a car parked in my parking bay for a while. And at one point, she had heard the dog barking. As I reminded her, I have a front door. You’re able to knock on it, or slip a note underneath.

    What I should have said was “Never Assume, it makes an A*s of U and Me”. One of my very funny friends later advised me to park my son’s toy car in the bay, to avoid any of this ever happening again.

    In another incident, three actually, my dog was getting bouts of violent illness. The kind where you find yourself wanting to throw up while cleaning up. I thought it strange because I hadn’t fed him anything weird. He and I hadn’t done anything out of the ordinary. He hadn’t been in contact with sick dogs, and was fully vaccinated. It all made sense when I caught an upstairs neighbor throwing food scraps (old meat) from her balcony into the garden of my ground floor apartment.

    In my country, if the camera is placed in a common or public area, even if the landlord owns the whole building, there must be a sign warning about it and informing who can see the images, when and where they will be kept, etc. This would be illegal, and the tenants could sue him.

    Take pictures, go to Home Depot, match the slats (because this is just cheap @ss vinyl flooring), and replace it yourself. It's not even the interlocking kind, so no worries about matching up the pieces. You may even be able to hide it with a vinyl flooring patch kit. Easy peasy lemon squeezy & the landlord can f**k right off with that $8,000 charge.

    Loving thy neighbor is often easier said than done. A recent LendingTree survey found that 1 in 4 Americans can’t stand their neighbor. Almost half say it’s because the guy or girl next door is unfriendly or rude. 31% say they make too much noise, and 29% say they live next door to someone who just can’t mind their own business. Around 3 in 10 millennials have even packed up their belongings and moved because of a problem neighbor.

    A social housing landlord installed a bulkhead light on a house opposite me. Unbelievably bright and completely unnecessary as the street is very well lit. Months of back and forth. Emailed the CEO x 2. Finally the light was disconnected last month.

    ...looks like your blinds could close more?? Or try turning your blinds up so the light is directed towards the ceiling. That still sucks but I get it, especially if you live in a place that doesn't allow any kind of window-covering (I've firsthand been to places like this, at least in USA)

    Rotate the blinds in the opposite direction, they will diffuse/reflect more light (like a convex mirror of sorts).

    Not the answer. First of all - at least in Canada - that would be illegal. Just get black out curtains to use with the blinds - it’s what I have to do, since my bedroom window faces the parking lot (basement apartment) - halogen lights shining in my bedroom at 3 am make it brighter than daylight. Figure out a way to deal with it without damaging other’s property. They have a right to put up lights on their property.

    If that is in one day, they are probably having a clear out and will take it all to the bins when done. I had a huge number of magazines that I decided to clear out, so I got the paper and cardboard bin and placed it directly below my window and just dropped them straight in.

    Depends who the waste collection contract is with. I've had to contact the council a few times when ours haven't been emptied, as we don't have spare capacity for them being missed as collections are fortnightly. That will very rapidly become a rat problem if not dealt with.

I'd need to see this "patio decor" in question because I've seen my fair share of obnoxious decor in my life, including a neighbor who previously had a floodlight beaming right into our living room window. Luckily we were able to hang blackout curtains and place tall plants in front of that window, and that neighbor has since moved. But be considerate of others, especially in close living spaces! We wished we didn't have to hang thick curtains in front of our window, we love the natural lighting

    This persons definition of disgusting and mine differ greatly. I don't see anything disgusting or gross about this. There are many reasons to set tied garbage bags outside the doorway until you get them to the dumpster. Busy cleaning, phone rang, had to tinkle, maybe? As long as they take it out in a reasonable amount of time. I see no problem here. I certainly don't understand this persons use of the word disgusting. That doesn't apply here, so that part didn't make sense.
