Hi everyone!
I'm having a problem with my neighbors, and maybe someone has some ideas.
My neighbors are renting out their apartment through airbnb/booking. From what I understand, when there are no guests, they live there themselves. It's often loud at night – not music, but footsteps, furniture being moved, things falling, children running around, etc.
It wakes me up very often. I can wake up several times in one night, for example, at 2 a.m., 5 a.m., and then at 7 a.m. the noise is still there.
I've tried talking to them but they say they're quiet and don't do anything wrong.
I've also written to the administrator of our building twice, but as far as I know, he tried to contact the owner of the apartment, but the owner hasn't responded.
I have two questions:
What can I do to make it quieter at night? I don't know if I should go to the local police department, because it's not loud music, but just "everyday" noise.
If I'm almost certain that renting through Airbnb is illegal (e.g., no taxes or subletting without the landlord's consent, administrator says the neighbors are not the owners of this apartment), where can I report it?
I'd appreciate any advice!
