I would suggest confronting the issue head on. Maybe do a bi-yearly unit inspection and look for signs of damage. This would be a good time to bring the issue of noise up. The things we resist will persist.

Thank for the response Noah. I agree I think I need to take care of it now. The tenants have been here 9 years prior to me purchasing, so who knows how long its been going on.

Quote from @Rick Albert:

A couple of questions:

1. Does your lease have a "quiet enjoyment" clause?

2. The damage could be real. I would have a talk with them.

3. Do you have a deposit? I would have the conversation that your intention is to provide as much of the deposit back as possible pending damage. If they cause damage to the flooring, then they are definitely losing the deposit.

1. Yes it has quiet enjoyment.

2. I agree I think this could lead to serious issues with the floor/tile. I am going to have a conversation.

3. I do have a deposit. I'm thinking I will speak with them about the possible damage first and use this as a second resort.

Thanks for the response!

Hi all,

I have been house hacking for a few months now and my tenants above me allow their kids to ride scooters in the house. I can hear the wheels run over the tile as they ride back and forth (in an 800 sf apartment) for what seems to be like hours some days. Its very loud but I'm more concerned about the floors. Their lease says quiet enjoyment. I haven't said anything about them riding scooters yet because I'm not sure how it will go telling them what they can't do in their own unit, but it's getting to a point where I may have to say something. Has anyone else run into this issue or something similar? Would love to hear some thoughts on how to handle the situation. Thanks!

Hey all,

Myself and two partners are looking to acquire our first property (STR). I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on which route to take to obtain a loan, whether it be have one partner take on the loan or create an LLC and go that route? From my understanding, it would be very difficult to obtain a loan through a newly established LLC. Thanks in advance!

Also, if there are any investors living nearby in the Hoboken/Jersey City area, I would love to connect!
