Shared yard

I just moved into a first floor apartment a couple of days ago. The 2nd floor tenants are occupying majority of the shared backyard and have a huge pool that takes a big chunk of the yard as well. I hate this situation because i truly do not want to be that neighbor but it feels like it’s their yard (they’re also always there and have people over all the time grilling and using the pool). We are thinking about giving it a couple of more weeks because we literally just moved in and want to give them time to see if they are any rules we should be aware of that maybe they had with the previous tenants. But then again, it’s a shared yard and i feel like i should feel comfortable using it without feeling like im being a Karen. I feel conflicted and don’t know what to do.

I need to rant. I know this is an ongoing issue for everyone but literally what are we supposed to do to afford these ridiculous rent prices? Is my only option to live in a shit hole apartment with a lazy landlord because it’s cheap? NJ has literally become New York. Don’t even get me started on the home prices.
