Issues with another Tenant

What to do if you have an issue with fellow tenant//neighbour.

1. Communicate with your neighbour.
Try writing a note as the person who may not know they are actually disturbing you. Give them the benefit of the doubt first. And communicate with them DIRECTLY. You don't have to be afraid of a "confrontation" - slip a note under the door, or in their mailbox. Leaving notes for the caretaker, or avoiding the contact will not help.

For instance, the disturbance may turn out to not be coming from their apartment - no one likes to be accused of anything, but even worse is wrongly accusing someone.

Just try to bring awareness to the situation first - most often people are not out to bother you.

2. Try to offer an alternative.
You may not know your neighbours' situation. Perhaps they are not aware you work night shifts and so need to sleep during the day. If you can suggest that you need to practice your drums at a certain hour, you may be able to come to an agreement or compromise.

3. Ask Shindico for guidance and help
If this doesn't change the behaviour and the disturbance continues, or you receive no response from your neighbour, then it may be time to contact Shindico at (204) 474-2000. (*Edgar is NOT Shindico. Call Shindico first and they will contact our caretaker, if necessary.)

Give them a call, explain the situation, let them know that you've attempted to contact your neighbour and the possible solutions you have offered.
