New Landlords (brother) disgusting habit - should I speak up or not ?

Move, life is too short to put up with s*it,just look for somewhere else to live.

When you share living space with other people, no matter if they're close family or strangers, you're going to get unwelcome noises. On a scale of 1 to 10, your problem rates about a 2. Teenagers with drums and rock music, marijuana smoke seeping into your place, strange visitors appearing in the house at all hours when you only have a flimsy door to your room – just a few of the lovely situations you might encounter.

My advice: Go to bed earlier, so you get enough sleep. Use your unwelcome morning hours to read, take care of your wardrobe, pay bills, etc. Run the shower for a couple of minutes to make sure it's clean before you get in. Be glad you don't have to share a bath tub.

For the radio, yes you can ASK that it be turned down a bit. Down, not turned off. As for the spitting, I feel your pain. I don't know how some people get that mess in their throats each day. Nasty! I don't think you can get away from him spitting. If it's all too much for you, try to find another place to live. Don't forget to give the current landlord 30 days' notice!

They guy can't help it if he has mucus in his throat. You should have asked about the hours other house members keep before moving in. All you can do is tell them that their morning routine wakes you up and you were wondering if they could try to be quieter. You alternative is to get up at the same time they do.

Maybe they HAVE to get up at 4:50, to get dressed and get to work on time. Lots of people have to. The radio could be playing because they set a clock radio to come on the next morning and wake them up. Consider those possibilities, before you complain.

My sister has to be at work at 6:00 a.m. She has to get up at 4:00 a.m., 5 days a week, in order to get dressed and make the commute in to work by 6:00 a.m.

That really is too early for them to be making all that noise. Just nicely talk about it and see what you can work out. Perhaps, they are not use to having someone in the home and so are not aware to give you any thought.

Just ask nicely.

WHen living with others, akward convo's need to be had at times. Hopeully they wont give you a hard time.

If they still do it, then that's when you will have to go to the land lady.

Yes, it's rude. You are paying to live WITH them (which is your first mistake). He's probably spitting into the toilet.

They are not being disrespectful to you, and the person you are renting from knows all about him. He was there first.

Get used to it; having roommates isn't fun, it's just a necessity.

"Confront" is the wrong approach. Nicely ask if there is a way to lower the alarm volume. Or buy earplugs.

Straight from "Judge" Judy.

As someone PAYING rent, you have the right to ask. and/OR Move.

SUCK IT UP!
