My property was used as a long term rental and I have recently converted it to a STR. I've pulled out all the stops and the house, neighborhood and location is perfect for a STR. As soon as I listed the property it got booked up to April which I am very happy about!

The problem is my neighbors.. There are about 5 families living in the house with sometimes up to 6 cars in the driveway. This is the only house in the street with so many people living in it.

There is a lot of noise coming from that house in a generally quiet neighborhood. A lot of noise given how many families live in the house - this is understandable. But my issue is they play very loud music, mostly during the day and evenings, which is during social hours, but they play the music so loud that it is impossible for anyone in my backyard to have a conversation with the person sitting next to you. When they park their cars in the evening they have to arrange all the cars to fit them in all around the house and driveway, they use their car horns to direct each other where to park... Again, because of all the families living there they generate a lot of garbage which just gets dumped on the curb next to my property - a huge eyesore for the whole street.. They have small dogs which they leave outside that bark day and night. I have already had a guest complaint about the dogs..

I can live with the garbage issue, but the loud music and dogs will lead to bad reviews which I cannot afford in a very competitive market.

I would appreciate any feedback on what my options are in this situation. Do I contact the landlord or the city council? I can't imagine the police will get involved since they are not noisy after social hours.

Thank you,
