A neighbor on the landing has bought a new hammer drill and on a day off in the morning can not help but boast of the whole entrance of its power? Or is inspiration coming to him at midnight, and he begins to sing, and you are not able to appreciate his talent because of the desire to sleep? Then it makes sense to talk constructively with him, and thereby pacify.
Instruction manual
1
Before you begin active actions in relation to your neighbor, correlate what is happening with the stipulated human rights and obligations in the constitution. How legitimate is the neighbor’s actions and how legitimate will your reaction be to them?
2
In the event that the neighbor’s behavior is unlawful, try to soberly assess the situation and consider appropriate ways to interact with him. The intensity of emotions here will be superfluous, and conflicts born of passion can easily harm your health.

If a noisy neighbor does not pose a real threat to you, go to the site and ring the doorbell. When it appears, we recommend using the technique of assertive behavior. Assertive behavior is the achievement of the desired result through polite patient negotiations.
In this case, the goal is to reduce the noise level in the neighboring apartment. Then the negotiations can begin like this:
- Hello. I understand that you need to make repairs in your apartment. For this, you even have time - from 8 am to 11 pm. But now it’s not yet 8, and we all want to spend the remaining “quiet” time to sleep, and not to sort things out.
If the neighbor is intractable, agree with the part of the statement in which he is right, and then propose an alternative. For instance:
- Yes, in your apartment you can do what you want. But it would be great if you just found yourself an activity calmer and quieter.
And so on until you achieve the desired result. Do not be afraid to repeat your requirements, but do it in the correct polite form. Sooner or later, the neighbor will give up, because he will understand that you are right. And even if he does not understand, it will still be very difficult for him to resist a confident and assertive interlocutor.

If the neighbor does not accept your requirements, you have the right to call the police, having previously warned him about it.
5
But there are apartments where it’s useless for residents to go with peace talks. People with a marginal lifestyle do not bother to look at their watches before they start spending time the way they like. In this case, it is better to immediately shift the function of pacification to the police.
Useful advice
A common situation: the residents of the entrance peacefully draw up a tacit code that includes the most convenient time for all repairs to be carried out for all, and so on. This is the easiest option to respect your rights and defend your interests.
