NoiseNatzi, living in close proximity to other people involves a fairly large amount of compromise. An urban environment where you need to use transportation with others, living in an apartment complex with people who have different lifestyles, different schedules, different attitudes, you either learn to live with these minor inconveniences or you move. You cannot expect others to conform to your vision of the right way to live.
You sound like a problem tenant who expects others to conform to your wishes. The easiest solution for a landlord to deal with a problem tenant who often complains is to get rid of only that tenant. It sounds like this is the issue in this recent eviction, probably was a factor in the previous eviction, and I predict will be the issue with your next eviction. You might gain a reputation as a difficult tenant that may inhibit your ability to rent should your next landlord contact the previous ones for references.
Even if you were to move to a quiet house in the countryside you will still encounter the barking dogs, happy children screaming while playing, the occasional back yard gunfire, etc.
You should consider that the problem does not begin or end with the behavior of your neighbors but rather that you are the one who needs to adapt.
Take responsibility for your own ridiculous obsession. You know you’re the problem. Why would you refer to yourself as a “Natzi” if you really think you’re being reasonable?
Look at it this way, you’re not happy with how it is, they aren’t going to change it. Clearly you’re not going to be happy there and they are tired of dealing with you, from what you’ve described.
So you’ll be unhappy if you stay, and you’re not happy you have to move. But if you move at least you get a shot at a place you’ll be happy.
Do everyone ( but mostly YOU !) a favour and move to somewhere more suitable, this place isn’t it.
Since you brought up being a vet, ( for what possible reason, I cannot imagine, like it has any bearing whatsoever!) do share how you ever survived noisy barracks, war zones, or being told ‘No. Not going to happen!’ While you were in the services ?
…might that be under “The Persuit of Happiness” part? INAL… I’ll let Real lawyers hash out if loud horns, after a reasonable hour for bedtime, might be actionable under that clause.
The co-worker whose parking slot is next to mine has the same setting on her car. Every morning as we get out of our cars, her behemoth SUV does the honk. But it’s about 20x louder than any other vehicle I’ve ever heard, and it jolts me every fucking time, even when I remember it’s coming. I think I’ll mention to her that she can change that setting. I too can be a Natzi.
I don’t think the OP’s situation turns on the notion of “rights” as much as the need for neighbors to communicate and respect each other. Any assumption that Da Law (from the manager up to the SCOTUS) should step in to get a neighbor to quit bipping their horn at 2 am is… misplaced. A polite contact, with an offer to help make the programming change, would have been the right step and probably effective.
You guys know the OP isn’t going to respond don’t you. They registered in January and posted twice, both to the same thread almost a year apart (well, this got split off to a new one).
I am guessing that Smeggie is correct, especially in light of the statement that the OP is being kicked out of “another” apartment complex. Unless he is being stalked by persistent, invisible car-honking gnomes, I suspect that this might be a case of “no matter where you go, there you are”.
I’ve never had a lease that didn’t require at least 30 days notice (and in many cases 60+) from either party not to renew it at least for an additional month.
I don’t know - even if you take everything he says at face value, it still seems completely reasonable to not renew his lease and kick him out ASAP. A fusspot busybody tenant who thinks their landlord should act like their mom and dad is almost as bad as a deadbeat tenant who doesn’t pay the rent.
The OP does sound like a nut, but there are many localities that have noise laws. Someone could be cited for repeatedly honking a horn at night, and even lacking specific laws you can sue someone for being a nuisance like that.
