Tenant Noise Complaints

[Ryan Goldrick]

Hello,

I purchased my first two family investment property last year.  Recently I have been getting numerous complaints from the tenants on the ground floor about the kids running around upstairs making too much noise (two year old and 4 year old).  I purchased additional carpeting for upstairs, which did not help.  I was hoping to get some advice from people who have experience with theses issues.  Any suggestions on how this can be resolved? Any recommendations for soundproof padding I could lay under the carpet?

Thanks,

Ryan

I also have a similar complaint in my 4 plex. I had to tell my complaining tenant that in this time of lockdown everyone has to be more understanding of children making noise. Looking at your local noise ordinances you tend to find noise restrictions for certain hours of the day and types of noise. I'd say your complainers will have to put up with it for the time being. It sucks, but if they're not happy maybe they should consider a place where they don't have to share walls and floors. This is why I live on 3 acres.
