[06/09, 15:10] Priya: The primary nuisance in the corridors is created by the residents of two specific apartments: Flat 301 and Flat 305. The other residents on the floor are quiet and respectful neighbors. Unfortunately, these two flats show zero mutual respect. They take extreme liberties create constant disturbances in the shared hallways, and completely refuse to cooperate. As a result, I am forced to keep my TV turned on at all times just to mask their noise. This ongoing disruption severely affects my ability to work, sleep, or relax in my own living room, regardless of whether it is morning, afternoon, or night [06/09, 15:39] Priya: This is again after 1/2 hour..The girl from flat 301 was just shouting, screaming, and talking loudly in the corridor again. As soon as I opened my door, they ran back inside. This constant disruption happens every half hour and continues all day until midnight 12 am . [06/09, 16:06] Priya: Whenever I open my front door or sit in my living room, I am unable to make professional client calls. My work is constantly interrupted, and my sleep and relaxation are severely disturbed ( daily nuisance also ) sundays are worse destroying any expectation of a peaceful home environment. The residents of Flat 301 and Flat 305 are causing a severe nuisance by taking loud calls directly in front of my door, playing loud TV with their doors open, and allowing children to scream, shout, and talk loudly in the corridors. This completely ruins my living conditions and disturbs other residents. [06/09, 16:16] Priya: Please let me know how you intend to address the ongoing noise issue in the corridor..please let me know ... Children are screaming every half hour, running ,laughing loudly and adults from flat 301 and 305 are constantly talking loudly while visiting flats 301 and 305( like loud calls in front of my doors ,group gathering ,This has become a significant problem; I have no comfort in my own home and am unable to sit peacefully in my living room [06/09, 16:28] Priya: I just saw the 3-year-old kid from flat 301 left alone in the corridor banging the door loudly . They locked themselves out and the kid was banging loudly on the flat door. [06/09, 16:28] Priya: Decide and tell [06/09, 16:31] Priya: They left the kid(301) unsupervised in the corridor running every two mins now .They locked the door . [06/09, 20:51] Priya: Now, every half hour after 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM this evening, they came into the corridors near my flat...either 301 or 305, thinking that I was not in the living room. I just went to the living room to sit down, and this happened. Check the video..I took this video in the dark sitting in my own living room [06/09, 20:58] Priya: All day Sunday, starting from when I woke up, I have been disturbed by the residents of flat 301. Their TV was extremely loud, and every half hour between 1:00 PM and 9:00 PM today there was constant screaming or shouting or loud talking from both adults and children moving between flats 301 and 305. Even at 9:00 PM, when i came to the living room the resident of flat 301 and their child were out in the corridor crying and shouting loudly flat 301 while visiting 305 flat [06/09, 21:06] Priya: Based on my observations from today 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM, they have been out in the corridor with their children every half hour. Even now, they are continuing to cause a major nuisance [06/09, 21:06] Priya: It's horrible [06/09, 21:15] Priya: Out of the entire C-block, it feels like only the people from flats 301 and 305 are always out in the corridors. Every half hour, they are opening their doors and running back and forth doing major nuisance . Sometimes, their kids are even left completely unsupervised out there. Honestly, it seems like a waste for them to even rent those flats( 301 and 305 when they basically live in the corridor the entire day [06/09, 21:35] Priya: You don't know the history here. It has been a horrible day [06/09, 21:36] Priya: Every neighbor here is silent except for the residents of flats 301 and 305, who are a major nuisance [06/09, 21:39] Priya: Why I sent these many messages because to let you know how adults and children behave in the corridors causing extreme disturbance to other residents. [06/09, 22:04] Priya: They never used to play the TV loudly ( 301) but now they have started doing this, which means they are doing it intentionally. After Tilak Sir and you told them here was no disruption for a week because they managed it nicely and they can continue it ..now they have started doing it even more to cause extreme disturbance to me following our argument. It is not just the kids; the adults are behaving the same way by playing the TV loudly and holding conversations loudly right near my flat... I just wanted to know whether it is correct to complain above to the management? Is it normal or abnormal ? I am owner of a flat..please advise sir. Basic legal research
