HELP - Noise From Neighbors A/C?

Everyone forgets that there's an HOA (Home Owner's Association) in all condos. First you complain to the HOA about a malfunctioning A/C.

Then you can write a letter, send it certified to your neighbor giving them 30 days to correct the problem. If they igonore it (99% will), the next step is to take sound level readings next to the unit and inside your room. Radio Shack or other places have cheap meters for audio setup you can use.

Most all cities have a noise level law for exactly this reason. You have a legal right to what they call "quiet enjoyment" to your home. If the sound level is above the legal limit, you can complain to the city inspector to enforce it.

If no sound level law in your city, take him to small claims court with a recording of the sound and the time of day it goes on and off and the duration. Build your case, so the judge will be on your side.

Also get a doctor to examine you and give you a letter that sleep deprivation and other problems are the result of this annoyance.

I additionally am comfortable to smells, style, mild and touch. My young ones call me large mom via fact i can scent issues they are in a position to't, hear issues they are in a position to't, I easily have surprising eyesight (like chanced on a penny on the floor whilst it replaced into pitch black) and that i'm large comfortable to the touch. At approximately age 30, my sensitivity to the touch became to soreness. i could no longer workout devoid of feeling like I pulled muscle tissues. Little issues like shaking palms might harm. It took 10 years of going to medical doctors attempting to confirm what replaced into incorrect (a nightmare) earlier i eventually replaced into clinically determined with fibromyalgia. Its a continual soreness illness. they are asserting those with this, have continually had it. It purely takes some worrying or annoying journey to hold it to the exterior. there are various ranges of fibromyalgia. some have it genuine undesirable, others basically slightly and it varies in intensity interior each and every individual.

Those are normal sounds A/C. He may be running his early in the season because he has a breathing problem that requires it. Most in VA have A/C. It gets to hot there to live without it

I think noise is not so high to sue it in courts as well. To my end you should talk with owner of the house. And suggest him to change location of AC. It is best solution i guess. Last decision will be yours.

You do not have a viable reason to break your lease and no you can not sue the neighbor as he is allowed to use his air conditioner as needed. You should try ear plugs and/or move. Read you rental contract/lease and you will find out what the early termination cost will be.

as long as the noise level does not exceed that permitted at night by local law, there is nothing you can do short of moving away.
