UPDATE: 

Unit underneath kept banging on the cieling from 6am and now at 3pm.  I had texted and got a call from the landlord.  LL says that my husband needs to approve the LL to reach out to the unit downstairs in order to figure out the situation and for us to talk it out (again) about the constant banging day and night when were asleep. Were both on the unit.

I told her I have video proof when we are in the living room and kitchen when the banging begins and in bedroom (facing towards me of course) i told her that we kept ignoring it for too long since last year of October and that its getting to a point of harassment. But as again she insists that we still talk to the neighbor to "Work it out just like her other units did" im sorry but another neighbor had issues with the same unit underneath me... i feel like he is not an understanding person and I have tried to work it out for them when I added rugs in my Livingroom and kitchen. And we go to bed early. Guess what? He still bangs on the ceiling.

So... I will update again this monday.  I have a feeling its not going to workout... 

Never in my life I have dealt with a neighbor who constantly does this. We hear noises and loud thuds all the time and snoring. 

Yet we ignore it cusse were in a apartment not a house.... he has a house in Mexico with his big family that tends to come over for 2-3 weeks making noise til 4am abmgs on the cieling when his wife comes over and 3 kids. They will do it too like its a game.

I have one kid, they have 3 older kids that play basketball downstairs at night and morning in the unit. Yet my 6 year old cant play toys in the living room.l because we're upstairs...

I literally have bought indoor cameras to show proof that we are not being loud in the daytime and night.

This is a private owned apartment...

I feel discouraged by the situation. We had also had two other units (that are family members using our garage space for 6 years without asking us until we found out because we needed to put stuff away finally had to use it and they got mad. Also the owners didnt get mad at them. It just feels like favoritism at this point. No one here in the apartments are not Held accountable...

I feel like if we had done something to piss off other units it would be considered a warning...

Anyways.... i wanted to to vent... and maybe hear what everyone thinks I need to do?

We cant move out its the only place we are able to afford for 7 years now. If it was affordable where we live in los Angeles I would have moved ASAP. But we can't...

I Never had issues with other tenants but this is Awful. It stresses me out... its too much. Taking a shower, using the toilet, SLEEPING.

Even if my 6 year old is coughing in his sleep he would bang on the ceiling. Yet he lets his wife and kids slam the main entrance apartment ​at night and run through their backyard door and slam it too when everyone is asleep. I had told them this and when his wife complaind about us for daytime noise (she and rhe kids dont live here at all) they had taken her and his side. Yet she's not on the lease?! Im on the lease method my husband but they need his Approval first in order to talk with downstairs unit. When we first moved in we kept to ourselves. I added rugs I tried to not let my kid play toys if it was too loud and they still bang on the floor.

I feel hopeless at this point.

Hello, im here to vent and seek advice... >!&#x200B;!<

Since November 2025 I've been dealing with a downstairs neighbor for banging on the cieling while me and my little one is asleep or coughing/snoring would make them bang on the cieling. Its now gotten to the point when It happens til 8am (this is the last week of summer break) I haven't been able to sleep due to the constant banging. When it happened the first few months it wasn't too constant but since I came back to the apartment after staying at my moms for 5 weeks he just keeps banging on the ceiling at night.

Does it til 8am.

I haven't banged back because I was trying to be the better person but its getting too much now.

He has his big family over this week and slamming thier furniture around til from 10pm-11pm like a lot of ppl staying over...

Im just frustrated and haven't been sleeping well since im back and I feel like im being bullied at this point. The dude is in his 50s including the wife and they dont even live here to do the same thing he does when we're sleeping. Ive been keeping log.... I have recently bought cameras for proof we aren't making noise as well. Im just frustrated, when we first moved in the noise complaint was about our toddler so when we tried to help with the noise issue. Weve been trying and bought a few rugs. And now I feel like I cant even sleep without stressing out if im snoring too loud or making any noise in my sleep... I keep trying to tip toe so I don't make noise at night or when I cook food... and I just feel like im not living in my apartment anymore. It just feels like control now.

Hello, I just got back this weekend with my child after staying at my moms for summer break for 5 weeks and it seems like my elderly downstairs neighbor is mad that were back in our apartment upstairs and is banging on the ceiling and making loud noises when my husband leaves to work for night shift. I just bought a new rug for the living room so we could dampen the noises in the daytime and he comes home and starts following us around banging on the cieling at 5pm while we are trying to go out and do laundry. His adult son lives with him but the elderly neighbor just got back from Mexico (he rents the place and comes back on the weekday from what i heard butt he acts like we can't walk around the apartment.

We were literally gone for a month...

Im just shocked that its our 3rd day back home and hes already bangjng in the cieling. I have my indoor cameras as proof but sometimes it doesnt catch the noises...

I also noticed he bangs on the cieling if we snore at night and if my child is sick coughing. We've been here for 6 years and now this year hes doing all of this banging. Ive been trying to ignore it and i never mentioned it to the owners cause i feel like im just exaggerating at this point....Mind you we can hear him snore too but we use a white noise machine. So he keeps waking me up for snoring... every night since January. I go to my mom's to get some sleep whenever school break stsrts because of the constant banging he does. My husband unfortunately does not deal with the harassment he says I should ignore it but its so constant I feel stressed from it.

Idk what to do. I just want to live in our apartment just like everyone else and not stress. Its a 100 year old apartment so we can all hear everyone and its understandable but he is too constant with the banging it startles my son when hes eating. Hes also autistic. We make sure he doesn't jump or run. We try and hes still doing this. Help! Please....
